I fall down - go BOOM!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Boy, with the account that Phred gave -
you wouldn't think he came into the know late -
you'd have thought he was sitting there at the table with all of them!

"MOM" tells a detailed Tail when she's Bored Silly sitting in the Hospital
surrounded by non-English speaking attendants!

And if Mom was "out & about"; Brudder Bill or Mom's Nurse were usually
there to pick up the phone and spin a yarn or two.
Call in at the right time - and the Tail writes itself!

Oh my goodness, Gini! I'm so sorry about your fall and broken leg. I hope your little nurses are taking good care of you. Still it is a nice surprise that our Slick came to surprise you. Guess she ended up with a surprise too, huh? Wow!

Well, Happy Birthday to you. Get well soon!
Logan

oh my gosh gini I am so sorry!! Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better though - what a story!!! (((HUGS))))

That reminds me - I have a batch of peeps, unopened, probably several years old, that I found when moving stuff in the pantry (yes, I am blessed with a large pantry, 'specially for a little house). Shall I mail them West? I know you like them stale, but am not sure how stale is too stale! They aren;t - I dunno - anything that ever expires, are they?

Oh, they are probably perfect!!!

Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful good wishes. It is a slow go - and I hate to admit it but the pain pills are a welcome sight. I was trying to not take them but the leg told me that was stupid - why endure the pain.

Pain pills upset my stomach.

My three orange nurses are just the best. Only problem is that Rascal wants to park himself on the bumb leg. But he was really thrilled to see Mom come home and makes sure to sleep with me every night.

The physical therapist is now coming three times a week - so hopefully I can progress quickly and be up and about. No driving for a couple of months though.

Hi Gini,

Still keeping you in my prayers for a smooth recovery. Have you started
pt yet? (((Hugs)))

[Randi]

Only problem is that Rascal wants to park himself on the bumb leg.

Isn't that typical, but Rascal is only trying to help you heal faster.

Gini, I know things like this takes time, but I hope the progress will go smoothly and faster than you expect. Concerning painkillers, you should be able to get some that doesn't upset your stomach - ask your doctor!

hugs

Oh, Gini, so sorry to hear about your accident. Glad to read you are home though and are on the road to recovery. Prayers and good thoughts winging their way for you.

[wombat2u2004]

Oh boy....I just read this one.
So sorry to hear of your mishap mate.
Get well soon.....I'm sure you'll be up and about in a jiffy
Wom

Gini,

I just had a deliciously nasty thought does this mean you get to use a cane while convalescing? Very useful

Hope you're feeling better

[Cincy'sMom]

I missed this whole story until there was talk of it yesterday. Sorry I am late to the party, but hope you are starting to feel a little better Gini. What a birthday adventure!

I went to the surgeon today for my post surgery checkup. I got to see the X-ray of the results - HOLY COW! The plate and screws are HUGE.

I would be what you could call - packing metal!!!

But the best news is that everything is healing right on schedule and my leg is perfectly aligned and ready to run.

I still have some swelling or adema which hurts - but he guesses two more weeks with the walker and then I can (yes, Betty!!) have a cane.

It is really difficult to get around my home with a walker,so I will be happy.

Rascal, Annie and Emma have not let up once in their duties......and actually Rascal and Annie fight over which one gets to be by the wound!

I am positive I am doing so well just because of them!!

Thanks again everyone -

[caseysmom]

The screws on my foot looked pretty large on xray but they were very small...not sure about the plate thougth Do you get all the hardware out?

I'm glad your doing better I know it must be hard.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Gini, thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that you're healing as scheduled. Hopefully everything will continue to go well. Your furry nurses are just very concerned about you. Take care. (((HUGS)))

[Killearn Kitties]

Glad to hear such a positive report, Gini. You really made a good job of that injury!
