For what it's worth, I'll be heading home Thursday.

Yay!

You must be counting down the hours by now. Frankly, I tips me hat to you for your fortitude. I get cabin-fever if I have to stay in hospital for more than about 8 hours.

Thats fantastic!! The team will be dropping by in the Phoenix to pick you up if you need a lift. The Condor has offered to carry you in his arms... but the other option of the Eagle is open

I'm home, and I'm so WIPED OUT! I never regained the strength I lost from the fall. The apartment's a total wreck, and I have a ton of laundry that has been fermenting for months. I won't have any help for a few weeks -- the state won't allow the paperwork for getting this kind of help to be filed until after I arrived home. (I don't know why; it's totally stupid.)

Anyway, if you would send some kind thoughts and prayers my way, I'd appreciate it!

I never try to make sense of the American health care system, it only gives me a headache.

Have you got one of those grippy things on a stick? I can't remember what they're called but they have a pistol grip at one end and a little claw at the other and you can pick stuff up without having to bend down. My late husband bought several when the cancer in his spine made it too painful for him to bend to pick stuff up. After he passed away, I gave one to a friend who has several fractured vertebrae in her spine and another to my mum who is in her mid-seventies.* They both use them a lot to tidy up and do things around their houses without over-extending or over-balancing.

You can probably get them from places like Home Depot.








* See, this is one of the reasons why I never had much time for the character of Mary Wade. All the mature women I know and look up to are not only fiercely independent... they're just plain fierce! If any of them had been knocked over by G-2 driving erratically on the road, they would have torn him a new one, then on realising he was ill, (retired nurses, you know how it is) they would have either bullied him into the passenger seat of the car and driven him to a hospital or pinned him down and called an ambulance! I aspire to be a really scary old lady one day.

They're called grabbers, or grippers, or reachers...whatever you want to call 'em. I've got at least one in each room (bathroom included.) I even take one along to the grocery store so I can reach the higher shelves. Whoever invented those things is one of the greatest geniuses of all time!

My problem is that I haven't got the strength or the energy levels needed to do many (okay, most) of the things I need to do -- I found myself exhausted after fixing a tuna sandwich! You would have thought I caught and cleaned the fish myself!

Off the subject -- it seems to me you don't have too far to go to become a really scary old lady -- you just have to get old! Cheeky

Agreed! I have one in the shed that I use to retrieve dead mice from down the back of the chest freezer if I ever drop one. Admittedly, they're no good for live mice, but dead ones, no problem!

That sucks. And what sucks even more is that there are no shortcuts for getting that strength back.

I've learned from the best: my mentors in scariness have been a mix of senior nursing staff and birds of prey.

So glad to hear that you're finally home, EW. Animecheers

Hope that things come together quickly, and with no issues, so that you can get some help in order to give you a hand with everything! Smile

Thanks, gang! I've been very fortunate so far to have some help getting up. However, Marilyn can't be here every day, and I have no idea what I'll do when she can't come. Hopefully something will pop up.
