Thanks Sadhbh! That's exactly how I'm going to approach this. Because you are absolutely right. I don't want to be stuck in a foreign hospital again, and I'm defnitely still traveling (even though dh says no).

Sadhbh, that would be a MIRACLE! :-) People have been trying to help me in the "graceful" department for years. My poor PE teachers. I was a "lost cause."  When we moved toTexas ALL the girls did gymnastics. They cartwheeled and back handspringed and round offed to their heart's content. I was lucky to do a forward roll. Soooo the coach (I still remember her name, Mrs.Moody, and I LOVED her) pulled out this cool mat with hands and feet on it to help me cartwheel. She promised if I just practiced, I'd get it. Never did. A year later we had a softball unit and Mrs. Moody promised I'd be able to hit the ball with the bat if I juts followed her instructions. Never did. :-) Then there's dance. I won't even go there. Suffice it to say Seinfeld's Elaine's got nothing on me. But I kicked butt with PT today. I leg lifted and crutched and crutched and I feel a MILLION times better.

Thanks Orchid! 

I've heard the therapy will take a long time. Insurance agreed to 4 wks. in-house therapy and then it will switch to on site. The home health place wasn't sure what insurance would cover once it moved to on site. I'm so happymy mother-in-law talked to our family doctor about how hard it was for me at home. The doctor called the home health agency and the insurance to get this worked out for me. I'm sure I'll hurt later, but right now, I feel better than I have since the day I fell.

 

After the fall I was totally freaked out. For 24 hours I barely moved. Then last night I decided I have to make this positive. :-)

I'll definitely be talking to the doctor. It doesn't really hurt, but it still freaked me out!

 

It is the no choice thing that makes this such a pain! :-)

I have, however, discovered Facebook, and it's a MAJOR time suck. For once that's a good thing! 

I think I'll add that list to my "bored is a choice" saying...once I'm off bedrest. The list also reminded me I have a PlayStation 2 and Ratchet and Clank. Haven't played in a couple years because I'm with Ratchet and Clank the way I am with potato chips and Godiva. Once I start I can't stop.

LOL Sam.

On a bright note I got my shipment TONIGHT! I have:

They're just soooooooo expensive. BUT if people donated them, that could work.

 

I think the show is on MTV.

Sex is here to stay but it is too bad that safe sex is still a question mark.

What a great comment.
