Pre-op surprise Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

As you all know, I'm having surgery done on my left leg on April 10, with an 8- to 12-week recovery time. The place I'm planning to do the rehab in does have a computer room, but I'll be completely down for a while -- unable to get out of bed, let alone go to another room. And then, when I'm able to move around, I won't be able to visit some sites (no Fennec videos on YouTube...WAAAAHHH! ), and I wouldn't have a word processor for my writing (I'd just have to type it directly on the site or write it out longhand and then wait until I got home to prepare the manuscript on my desktop.)

This was bumming me out.

Then, while she was changing the bandages on my leg, Kelly, the home health care nurse, said, "I've got a laptop I hardly ever use. Would you like to borrow it?"

Yes, you read right. Kelly is letting me borrow her laptop while I'm recovering.

I don't throw words like this around, so you all should have an idea of how much I mean it when I say I'm blessed. In spite of all the garbage I've been going through, somebody helps me through it.

That is awesome! Kelly seems like such a great person. It's always nice when things work out, huh? I'm happy for you!

Fantastic, EW. I know while the boy was in hospital the one thing he missed most was his laptop (no wifi connection available) so it made the days feel so much longer.

I'm so glad you'll still be able to join in with us and hope your op and recovery goes smoothly Smile

What a generous offer that was from Kelly! Having a laptop will definitely make things a little bit easier on you while you recover. Smile
