Dear tmfamily,
I have deleted every piece of mail since 9/16, as I have spent the last
2 weeks in the hospital......I fell the night of 9/16, went to hospital 9/17
had surgery 9/18 and went to rehab 9/19. The surgery placed pins
in my rigtht ankle which I broke on both sides. Am home as of Sat 10/2
and most happy to be here........I'm tired and only moving by wheelchair
which will be replaced by scooter next week. I deleted more than 1700
emails, which included all from youall.......I'll catch up with what's going on
as I gain strength.
This is not all bad news. I've not shared what's been happening to me
since Feb...........at that time I had an illness, not flu,but flu-like. My doc
said it most likely was a virus that would wear out in time. I was down
long enough that I began to lose some of my mobility. On the other hand
I began to regain feelings that hadn't been there since tm came to stay (19996). I wondered if the pains I began to have were there all along, but I couldn't feel them. As I lost more mobility, I came to depend more and more on my 4 prong and my walker. My walker was part of reason I broke my ankle........that and my clumsiness!!
With rehab I have begun to regain the strength I'll need to become a member of walking wounded again. Home Care, esp.p.t., will continue for at least next 60 days.
This is all for now, it's taken two sessions to get this written..........later.......
janh
