Hey gang
Caren posted a while back that she was in a car accident. It sounds like a recuperation doozy. Broken wrist and foot, so no crutches for Karen! not even a well chair. Unless there is a wheelchair push person around. Plus I am sure the RA is not happy about this traumatic state of affairs.
I thought it might cheer Caren's recovery on to start this thread for good healing.
Signing your casts from afar Caren. Hope your pain is backing off and all the bones are knitting.
hope you can prop your laptop in bed and get these messages.

About my mobility- I can't use forearm crutches because I have really poor balance. (I had a spinal injury ten years ago that left me with little feeling in my feet.) I did rent a knee scooter and will use that when need be, but I'm sure I don't need to explain to you guys how much pressure that will be on my knee. My knee is already swollen, just from kicking myself around my house in a wheelchair. So, I'm exploring the nether reaches of Netflix and rekindling my relationship with my couch :)
Thanks again, and I hope the coming week is good for all of you!

hope the wheelchair can navigate your house. stop bumping into things. your knees could use a break. my girlfriend had the knee scooter she also disliked the stress on the kneecap.
i hope the insurance sends in a nurse or a PT if you need.
we are thinking of you
