cabin fever!

Because of my fractured ribs, I've been housebound since I got out of the hospital.Quite frankly, it's boring! There's a lot of snow around and I'm afraid to go out because I might slip and fall and reinjure myself. Thank goodness for PT! Tuesday I have a follow-up dr's appoinment and I'll find out when I can drive again. When I can, I'll have a rental car and after that I'm leasing a 2007 Cobalt. Can't wait! BTW, my three furry, four-legged nurses are taking good care of me. Another BTW, don"t ever sneeze when you have fractured ribs, IT HURTS!

You're right, there isn't much to do cooped up in the house. I can't wait until the warden lets me out!

I'm sooooo bored, (PT isn't boring! It's one of the better things to do.) I'm looking forward to the unbearable excitement of washing the dishes! Can't wait! (yeah,right)
