Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Dear Family, I am trying to catch up reading all the posts and apologize if I get the facts and names mixed up, my vision is really bothering me (Sjorgrens) and although I love to read it is very difficult. Someone suggested to put eye drops in the fridge, THANK YOU it is much more soothing.... I am not sure if I posted or not, but my leg has started to break (again) it is now considered a nonunion break (after 8 weeks) and my Tibia was looking like " ) " ......The Dr put the cast on this time and pulled and twisted until the cast dried tight, straight and correct for him. by night time it just throbs. I am totally house bound unless my husband takes me out. I am just getting more down, down, down. I either talk way to much or just don't want to talk to anyone at all. My husband got used to me having the camowalker, so he forgot how much I can do with weight on 1 leg. I finally just sat there an cried, had a wonderful pity party, I was actually trying to take a shower, and was cutting strips of duct tape(waterproof) to secure the bag and towels so my cast will not get wet. I was so upset I had myself taped all over,,,hair, clothes, shower curtain, cast, stocks, you name it ? And then I was fighting my way out of the tape.....sounds pretty funny now, but sure wasn't then. I am just here working on my " upper body " exercises and waiting for this to heal. I go to the Dr. next Tuesday. I really like him, he is a friend of my Rheumy at Stanford and my Internist here, so I have the benefit of all of them. Dear Tawney, you are in my prayers for your family situation, it is very tough to deal with the county officials when all you want to do is help love and heal these hurt children. Jesus cares for the young ones and that is not necessarily in young in age but spirit. Please know you have my promised prayers. Everyone please take care, I care. Gentle Hugs & prayers, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Carol, I can really empathize with you. When I broke my femur and couldn't even get out of bed for 3 weeks, it was miserable. It wouldn't heal and I wound up having to get pins and plates put in. It wound up being a blessing. I hope this new cast will help the healing and you can get your freedom soon. Yes, your duct tape sounds pretty funny NOW, but I know that pity party wasn't to funny. Sometimes a good cry makes a big difference. Being house bound doesn't help at all. I hope this nightmare is over soon. Hang in there sweetie. a On Aug 5, 2005, at 11:03 PM, Dandcmayer@... wrote: > Dear Family, > I am trying to catch up reading all the posts and apologize if I get > the > facts and names mixed up, my vision is really bothering me > (Sjorgrens) and > although I love to read it is very difficult. Someone suggested to > put eye drops > in the fridge, THANK YOU it is much more soothing.... > > I am not sure if I posted or not, but my leg has started to break > (again) it > is now considered a nonunion break (after 8 weeks) and my Tibia was > looking > like " ) " ......The Dr put the cast on this time and pulled and > twisted until > the cast dried tight, straight and correct for him. by night time > it just > throbs. I am totally house bound unless my husband takes me out. I > am just > getting more down, down, down. I either talk way to much or just > don't want to > talk to anyone at all. My husband got used to me having the > camowalker, so > he forgot how much I can do with weight on 1 leg. I finally just > sat there > an cried, had a wonderful pity party, I was actually trying to take > a shower, > and was cutting strips of duct tape(waterproof) to secure the bag > and towels > so my cast will not get wet. I was so upset I had myself taped all > over,,,hair, clothes, shower curtain, cast, stocks, you name it ? > And then I was > fighting my way out of the tape.....sounds pretty funny now, but > sure wasn't > then. I am just here working on my " upper body "  exercises and > waiting for this > to heal. I go to the Dr. next Tuesday. I really like him, he is a > friend of > my Rheumy at Stanford and my Internist here, so I have the benefit > of all of > them. > > Dear Tawney, you are in my prayers for your family situation, it is > very > tough to deal with the county officials when all you want to do is > help love and > heal these hurt children. Jesus cares for the young ones and that is > not > necessarily in young in age but spirit. Please know you have my > promised > prayers. > > Everyone please take care, I care. > > Gentle Hugs & prayers, > Carol M. in CA > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
