Okay, I'm back again. Nothing as dramatic as what I see happened to Mr. Braver happened to me but I did just get home on Friday from a hospital visit that started after I stepped on a piece of black ice while walking to a trouble call and trying to turn my right ankle and foot into a modern art project.
Here's the quote from the "short version" in my online journal: "I was at work and slipped on black ice while going to a computer trouble call at work. As I fell I heard 6 or 8 pops and looked down and saw my foot sticking out at a very unnatural angle. I managed to get to the door where the call was and pound on it. The guy came down and called the boss, who told him to take me to NF Memorial. They admitted me for a dislocated and fractured ankle.I went into surgery at 8pm and was out of recovery and back in my room at 2am. The surgery took 4 hours and was more complex than the doc initially expected. I now have two permenant plates in my ankle and something like 9 pins." "I was in the hospital from Monday to Friday and will be in a cast for 12 weeks. I might be able to go back to work and do light duty work after 3 or 4 weeks, but that's up to the doctor. For now, I have a couple of things to take care of but the important one is to recover and be with my family. " If you want to read the long version, take a look at http://www.livejournal.com/users/g_angel. I was coreected tonight, I don't have pins, I have screws. I also have good pain meds! As for my email address, it changed again. So has the BBS thing I was working on. I'll hit that part later. So I will also pass on my heartiest get well wishes to Ben. I hope his hospital food tasted a lot better than mine! Now it's time to hop to bed, prop the leg and let the Lortab's close the eyes! Until Later! C.
