I wish Bubba and Pink Nose could lie on you and purr to help your ankle but I'm sure some of your babies will do you this service. Get well soon!

Hello, and thank you all for the well wishes! Boy, am I some KLUTZ!!! I had just checked the mailbox and was looking at one of my little dogwood trees. As I started back across the yard I cut through our landscaping along the sidewalk. We have a couple of those round stepping stones just for that purpose. Well, apparently my left foot rolled off of one of the stones and while trying to regain my balance, I threw my weight onto the right foot which caused it to also roll over. Unfortunately, all of my weight went onto that ankle and I wiped out onto the concrete. So now I have two bum ankles and scrapes, bruises and sore muscles. I apparently caught myself with my right hand as it has a fairly deep scrape and is sore when I try and put weight on it as well.

I was so embarrassed lying there crying on my sidewalk but I was afraid to move and couldn't get up. I had surgery on that same right foot about 8 years ago after having done the same thing to it. The whole process of that injury took nearly a year ... months of different braces, casts, boots and then finally the surgery to remove a bone fragment. My first doctor never saw the 2 fractures on the x-ray. So, even though the ER tech said there are no breaks this time, I am still leery. I have quite a bit of swelling, bruising and of course, pain.

They gave me crutches at the ER but I nearly break my neck on them right now so I've sworn them off! I think the fact that I can't really put weight on my "good" ankle and the sore hand aren't helping my balance. Right now I am keeping an armless rolling computer chair by my bed. That is the only one that will fit through the bathroom door. Let me tell you how fun it is trying to get from a rolling chair to a potty seat on one foot!

Oh well, if the boredom of being mostly bedridden for a few more days doesn't kill me then I think I'll "make it"! Sure wish I had a laptop!! Thankfully I can roll myself out to the moms and babies and check on them and give them fresh food and water. I just can't stay in my chair too long right now because I can't let my foot dangle. It's still swelling quite a bit. Hopefully that will subside soon as well.

Thank you for all the cute graphics and the picture of my dear sweet Samantha! They definitely put smiles on my face!


Helene ... thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful box of goodies for all the moms and babies and the special "pampering" items for me as well! It was perfect timing for them to come yesterday! Hubby got home late and brought the box to my bed! It was so nice to have a gift to open!!! You are the best!


Hugs,
Kim

Kim I am a little late finding this post but glad that I caught it in time to see your note. I am so sorry to hear all of this. Please feel all of our (((hugs))) going around you!

Be careful on that desk chair! Several months ago I wanted to remove a picture hook from a wall that was high above my head. The only chair around was a desk chair (with wheels). As I climbed onto the chair I said to myself "this probably isn't a good idea." You guessed it. The chair moved (wheels will do that! ) and I wound up on the floor. I would hate for you to wind up on the bathroom floor! Then you would have one more sore area! Please feel better soon!

Aww Kim! That is terriable and I know you are miserable. Good thoughts and wishes are coming your way from the south. Take it easy and give them time to heal. Get plenty of purr therapy to help you heal. ((((HUGS))))))
