I just want to thank all the kind people who responded to my journal entry today regarding the remark about permanent wheelchair status. I had hoped you would come through, and guess what - you did!! Thanks to all of you who responded today, and yesterday, and some on all three entries about this injury I've been dealing with. I have such caring, wonderful friends here, and on the outside, too! I feel a lot better tonight, and see the incident for what it was - an unqualified, insensitive person predicting permanent wheelchair status for me - when she doesn't even know my exact injuries or what the doctor said! I think I just decompensated due to a whole month of being basically bedridden and in the house 24/7 except for Dr. appts.! I will keep you informed as to when (notice I said "when") I start walking again, and life returns to normal! Who knows, I might even rewrite that movie review I lost the night of the (first) injury! Sometimes life is the pits - this is just one of those times - and I know it will change, and I will get my legs back again!!

I definitely think that as soon as you are better you should write the review and make that the close to this chapter. Just sort of pick up where you left off and rewrite the entire evening with a new ending.

Hey, pearlie - that's a good idea! I think I'll do that! After I start walking again...!

HEY GIRLFRIEND, you finally journal and I miss it. The falling and injury sounds like a repeat of mine in Dec. minus the dog pee. I don't know what insurance you have but when I told them there was no one to care for me they sent me to a nursing home. I wore that damn boot for 12 wks and cheated on wearing it to bed too! I pray that things get better for you dear friend........Love you, Nancy

You go, girl!! You sound so much better, and so positive! Kudos to you! Sometimes it is our responsibility to take care of ourself (ie: removing friends who bring us down) I don't do that lightly, but have had to do it when someone "refuses" to look up,...that can really harm us! I am sooo proud of you! Love, Judy

Good to hear you are in better spirits! Take care of yourself and remember.....

Thank you, all! Yes, I do feel better - thanks to you, my friends. I am getting better and better in the legs department as it has now been a month since the first serious fall (on the fourth, that is, it will be a month...)! Am now waiting for an aide to come and get me in the shower (I need physical support) now that I got the grab bar installed on Saturday! Thanks again, everybody! Next journal I hope to write a review of "The Soloist" - this time, without falling!

I am so proud of you She for hanging in there in these awful circumstances and you know I am sending you a whole basket of love and goodwill and get-well recovery wishes to my pal. So so sorry I have been absent here, you will have to ready my journal about me being in hospital.
You ARE getting better, I can hear it in your voice. The power of positive thinking and positive energy coming your way love. Love you dearly, Jani
