I need some compassion

Ohhhh, poor Barbara. Yeek, and that had to happen in the summer. Not that in the winter is easier, but somehow in the summer that must be even worse. Sorry to hear that :(
I know that Filou and Tigris and Siegmar will take good care of you and hopefully you'll be better sooner than 6 weeks.

Juni sends kitty kisses and Pichu would like to come sit on your leg so it heals sooner (yeah, with a whooping 7kg or more :rolleyes: )

Ouch. What terrible timing. Perhaps there is something you have wanted to do that you never had time for but could do now to help pass the time. Catch up on your reading, letter writing, etc. Take up a new hobby. If you can find a way to pass the time creatively it will go by much quicker.

Barbara ~ I'm so sorry. I bet with the help of your feline doctors, you will be up and around before 6 weeks.

I read once that a cat's purr is at the same frequency doctors use to promote the healing of broken bones. Perhaps applying a few purring cats to your leg will help? ;)

Ouchie!

What a rotten way to start the summer. :( But I'm sure the 6 weeks will fly by and there will be plenty of "Indian Summer" days for climbing the Alps and hiking. What about bicycling, can you do that?

Oh Barbara I am sorry to read about this:( I imagine it keeps you from most of those summer things that you love to do? Some others already said these things but it will also be a good time to catch up on reading and after 6 weeks - you will still have some pretty weather for doing fun things again - 6 weeks is just mid August:D

Awww Barbara, hugs to you.
I hope you're not in too much pain.
At least you didn't break your wrist like Sallyanne did this past winter, you can still type and keep in touch with us!;)
I'm sure that Tigris and Filou will cuddle up with you to make you feel better soon.
Check your PM's.:)
Eek! your PM box is full! And I can't get you by e-mail either!
Please clean out your PM box Barbara. Thanks!

Aw, poor you. :( {hugs} Speedy recovery wishes from me, and Ebby and Bob say ...

Oh Barbara, I am so sorry to hear of this. I understand fully, because whenever I have back pain I am so impatient with it.
I just want to get on and do things - but the pain stops you cold.

I hope you have some good books around to read - to take your mind off of what you "can't" do.

I know that you will receive tons of sympathy from your babies.

Get better soon - the time really will fly by................

Barbara,

I hope you are on the road to recovery very soon.

Ally wants to say something:

Meow Auntie Barbara, dis is Ally.

Meowmie sed yoo have a booboo, and I wanted to send yoo kitten kisses so you get better soon. (Aksherky I wanted to send yoo CONNOR to cheer you up, but Meowmie sed NO :rolleyes: )

I have a booboo on my leg too - I went to the doctor today and I have medicine to take :( It tastes yukky

Hope yoo feel better soon,

Luv Ally

Thank you all for your wishes. I knew it would help to hear from you all - and to see how many of us have similar experiences;)

Debbie: no, I am not allowed to bike either :(

Zoe: cleaned my PM box

Ebby and Bob- you are the cutest :)

Ally: I am so glad that you write to me. I am sorry for your ouchie and blow some kisses over to you.:)

Barbara, here are more hugs - and purrs from Fister too. :) I hope the pain will go away and you'll heal up nicely very soon! Now you have time to read even more, that's at least something. Let Siegmar spoil you! I also hope Tigris and Filou will give you many kitty kisses and purrs. :)

Take care girl!

I'll be in touch!

A prescription..


Repeat twice a day. as needed.....


"Honey, can you get me my drink?"

"Honey, can you get me a pillow for my foot?"

"Honey, can you ----------?"


Feel better and remember to use your down time to get to the next level on your PT posting..


:) ;) :)

Barbara a TON of compassion coming your way, poor you, I feel your pain,. sometimes torn ligaments and sprains can be more painful than a break., yep I speak from experience too.

Now you make sure you have some good pain-killers on hand, get lots of TLC and rest, and indulge yourself a little in whatever takes your fancy, in otherwords try to make the best out of a rotten deal.

Take much care and hugs, I hope your injury heals quickly and the pain eases very soon.

Sounds painful, I hope your ankle gets better sooner than expected.:)
