Oooh Steph, I feel so bad! I know how you feel. I wish I was there I would take care of you! And keep you company. We are all here for you, even thought I understand the time frame will probably not be long enough for you to come to Rolex! I will keep hoping and praying and jingling! What part of your foot did you break?

Hey my friends! I have been doing better today. Not until I sat down and read your comments did I cry! The soft cast is better as long as I keep my foot elevated. I have to be brief right now as my foot is not elevated!I got my wheelchair just now and besides the fact that the foot rest is too short it will be ok! They called me to ask my height and weight ( ) but my legs must be longer than most! Tomorrow I will attempt to head to work for 1/2 day. I have lots of critical work with due dates so I need to make some progress. The chair is awkward for me but I will make it. My house is not wheel chair freindly but if need be I can get around.Mr. G is doing his best! He has a hard time with my emotions so this is nothing new! He has had a broken neck so he truly understands but he is stoic, unlike me at my age. I will turn 50 on April 14th and it will be hard to go out dancing!
Thanks again so much for all your kind words. They mean more than you will ever know! I have been feeling pretty isolated and you guys seem to be my lifeline. Even Mother Gunnar is in Missouri, visiting my very ill brother. He has severe heart problems that make my injury pale in comparison. Any jingles you can sned for him would help. He has no insurance and was just turned down for medicade because his wife owns a home and has $26,000 in a 401K! Sort of an example of the problems with health care in the USA! Enough of that but it does add to my heartache! :angry: I will report back tomorrow with an update! I love you all!

***Jingles*** for your brother! That just sucks. I'm sure your SIL was planning a fabulous Hawaiian get away with her 401k money. I'm glad that you're humming along as well as can be. Chair does not sound fun. Hang in there baby!! At least the chair is not as hard as that damn english pleasure saddle. I'd hate to have your bum resting on one of those babies for a month or more.

So glad to hear that you are feeling even slightly better. I imagine if you can get a bit of work done that will help too. I bet your eyes will really be opened by being in a chair for a bit. At least it will make life a tad easier for you So sorry to hear about your brother too. Sending lots of for him as well. Your poor mum, it must be hard worrying about the two of you.Now for surely you have to get to Rolex. We need to have a mega birthday party for you and Sanny

Steph, when I get all emotional and start crying (not a terribly rare occurence
) Jason doesn't know what to do with me. He usually gets a deer in the headlights looks or gets frustrated. He tries to be nice at first but doesn't understand why 30 seconds of sympathy doesn't quite cut it! As you mentioned in one of your e-mails a couple of weeks ago crying is hard on the body. Your body is already having a tough time so as few tears as possible please. I know, harder to say than do. Glad to hear you are feeling a little better though. You need to post some pictures for us of you in your wheelchair.

Oh Melissa you hit the naikl on the head with your comments. I have been a cryer for a few years now so it does not mean too much to Al! He says I make it so hard when I cry but I cannot help it! Don't forget we have been married for almost 27 years and we have a long history! Life is hard when you are totally dependent on others for just about everything you do! I can get to the bathroom and back for now and that is it. Anything else someone has to help me with or do for me. When I could put a small amount of wieght on my foot at least I could crutch to the kitchen and perhaps carry something back! Now with my two hand firmly on thise crutches I can do nothing! Today I went to work in my wheel chair! Not fun! I had to have Al bring me all the way to my desk. I work on the 5th floor! Once I got there people had to madly remove all the files I had on my floor! It was a mad dash to move all those dumb tax files! So for 5 hours I attempted to work! Try going to the bathroom alone. I couldn't get the door open! The 1st time I got the door open to come out but the next time I needed help both in and out! How depressing is that. I could not get files out of the file cabinet, could not reach the taller color printer, and various other idiotic things! My brain was also fried so I had to redo a few things. You know when it rains it pours?? I am attempting to go on short term disability but it seems that the stars are against me there too. I have to miss 11 straight days before they even consider it. Once I achieve my goal of being disabled I get 60% pay! Not in the cards most likely. I will have to make an appearance 4 hours a day to keep from using my precious PTO! Tomorrow I am back to work and Al cannot even ride because he has to take me to work and back. We are considering a new car. Just what the budget needed! Sorry to babble on! Believe it or not I left lots out! But typing it out makes me feel better so now I feel better!!
Thanks for all your and s to you all!! You make my day in the end!

Steph, how did I miss the wheelchair?! You know I am here for you. I have been on call all this week, and do not get off until next Tuesday, but I will come see you after then. I have been thinking about you. You know you can call anytime - but you have to use my home # as I have to keep the cellphone free for on call. |
