Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Debbie, do you have a friend or relative that you would feel comfortable calling when you feel like this? I read your post and felt such a yearning to be with you in person, keeping you company during these dark times. I know that many of us would do that if we could. Cyber friends are great, but sometimes a warm body is nice! I hope your sprains & pains heal soon. Did you get someone to clear that ice off?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Debbie, after my fall...I asked all 3 of my guys to check the porch and steps and sidewalk before I left the house again. I was still very fearful of falling again but I made it through my first trip out of the house a week later even though I walked very slowly with a cane. This week I 'm only using the cane here and there. I hope you heal up quickly, too. I also got very depressed after my fall and it's like it was the last straw or something. Being so sick is a bit of a bitch anyway without something like that happening on top of it...the added pain seemed so much to bear. But it's like I felt the added prayer and it speeded my recovery. I'm quite hormonal this week and eating way too much chocolate which I know just makes it worse. I feel the added fluid on my messed up knee but my shoulders are better than when I was lifting this extra weight around on a cane and a walking stick .(I wouldn't go to the doctor...I already have too many bills). This message board is a godsend cuz, as much as think they do, others who aren't sick do not understand the pain, the desperation, the anger, the frustration, etc.... The words spoken here are generally a healing salve to my emotions....to my soul....to my hope... I guess I figure ...someday...if I keep explaining things to those who care to listen... the lightbulb will turn on in their minds and they will get it. May God watch over you and send help your way and lots of peace and love.... Walk slow and take care hugs S.Debbie wrote: Thanks Rose for your thoughts and concern. Yes, I do have a couple of friends that I can call when times are tough. A lot of people just don't understand how to handle it or have trouble relating. Don't you find that sometimes? But I am off the crutches now and just on splints - taking it easy. I DO believe I was more dangerous ON the crutches. I am not very coordinated to begin with, never mind with crutches! LOL Yes sometimes I wish our group could all meet together in person, but I feel the warmthness and support over the web! Its odd how close you feel to these people without ever having meeting them in person, isn't it? BTW, No, nobody has cleared off the ice! You think living with 3 males, they would.
