[TMIC] Happy Holidays to my good friends at TMIC
Title: AOL Email Happy Holidays Having been gone from the list for some time now, I was saddened to hear of the hardships and heartbreak some of us faced during this annual celebration of Love. Barbara, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. It is my belief that she is happy now, with no thoughts of pain or anguish. You will have a wonderful reunion when the time is right, as you mentioned. And, it is true that the pain eases with time. My Grace, What a time you have been experiencing! I am so sorry not to have been around for you in your time of need. "Why?" Is the biggest question in the Universe. "Why Not?" Is the only answer I can come up with. But, I am not very bright and someone else may have a more satisfying answer for us. I don't believe there is one. While I was in the nursing home, I made friends with a nurse who gave me the most beautiful prayer. It is somewhere in my bags of accumulated names, addresses and phone numbers of new friends made while I was there. To All ~ While carefully doing my usual stretching exercises on my feet and ankles, I somehow managed to break both ankles...the left one in three places and the right one fractured and cracked. I am in two hot pink fiberglass casts around my feet and to my knees. They are on for two weeks at a time, then re-xrayed and the skin checked for lesions before being put back into new casts in the color of my choice. The casts will remain on for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks and hopefully will heal in that time frame. It's weird about the pain. I don't feel a thing on the outside, but way down deep in the bone there is a burning sensation that borders on extreme pain of a kind I cannot describe any better than I already have. Of course it is difficult to move or do anything. I have been plagued with bowel problems and cathing every three hours is precarious work. It was nice to have a foley in place while I was recuperating. While being moved from the hospital to the nursing home I was blessed with three broken ribs, one creating a nice big lump in my back to the right of my spine and I am told there is lovely extensive bruising to decorate myself. Better than a tatoo! Nursing home experience is something I have been petrefied about having to face someday, and now know that when the time comes, I will be able to handle it. At least a bit. I will be laid up in bed for the most part for the majority of my recovery. I am so angry at the doctors for not telling me about brittle bone syndrome lying in wait for me. I will now have to be very precise and careful about every move I make. I want to buy a tilt table so that at some time in the future I will be able to weight bear on my legs, even though I will never walk. So, that is where I have been and this is where I will be. I love you all and thought of you every day, but simply didn't feel up to dealing with the computer. Love and Heartfelt Thanks for your friendship ~ Jude

I came home Christmas Eve day and have been in bed, where I will continue to stay until my two broken ankles and broken ribs have healed, which will take at least 6 - 8 weeks. I broke my ankles doing regular stretching exercises and range of motion. Not one doctor ever hinted that at some point my bones would become so brittle that they will break with little pressure. From now on I will have to watch out for breaks in my legs, hips, feet, etc. If I had been a weight bearing patient, I would have had extensive surgery on the left ankle which is broken in three places. The right one is fractured and chipped, apparently the lesser injured of the two. My ribs were broken when the EMT unit came to transport me from the hospital to the nursing home. From the bed, a nurse took my legs and this huge, burly guy got behind me and lifted me in a great bear hug. I didn't know that I had broken ribs until three days later when my husband noticed a bulge and serious bruising in my back. I don't know what, if anything, I am going to do about it. Anyone out there think I have rights? Bob, I am sorry to include this note to everyone on the list, but am not up to writing it over and over again. Yours was the first email on my list of 187 to open. I hope you all had a lovely holiday! I am sorry I wasn't around to enjoy it with my many TMIC friends. Peace and Love, Jude
