Indeed, i can believe it,,yes, we all were just discussing on the topic a few days ago and now this happens. Fortunately you are alive, yes, is a fortune. This kind of events make us feel quite vulnerable and show how fragile the existance is. And in a certain way, it proves what i was talking about, it is only when something terrible happen when we sit and begin thinking on all those valuable things life have and that we use to ignore due of the daily routine. I wish you to get better soon, well, meanwhile you can consider it as a little break, a time out, for you and your soul, to sit and be idle, it is true that moms are always the busiest members of a family, well, now is your time to rest and take a pause, what a bad way to get a break, that is for sure, but, you know, sometimes it is better to be a little mr. or ms. brightside, even when there is not that much positive to think on.<br />My best regards dear, and then again i wish you to get healthier soon. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-61073365755001411592010-09-07T16:31:10.055+10:002010-09-07T16:31:10.055+10:00Oh poor Elisabeth That was a bad experience Hope y...Oh poor Elisabeth That was a bad experience Hope you're feeling better soon and take good care of yourself.

Perhaps it won't help.

Thanks for all your good wishes. I s...Hi Everyone<br /><br />Thanks for all your good wishes. I shall endeavour to respond properly over the next few days. Hopefully I'm home tomorrow carting a huge plaster cast from my ankle to the top of my thigh but that's only for ten days and then we reduce, all being well. I'm delighted to be going home, but I must take it all a day at a time.<br /><br />Im trying hard to avoid the need for surgery and the surgeon is happy to go slowly slowly, to let it heal of its own accord but it's a fracture of the tibia plateau, if that makes sense to any of you medically inclined anatomically knowledgeable folks. In other words, it's around the knee joint and it will take some time for me to bend again. the surgeon is concerned that my bone does not move, If it does it'll need surgery and later rather than sooner is not ideal for surgery but we'll give it a try.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-8121071114118806242010-09-06T18:31:31.102+10:002010-09-06T18:31:31.102+10:00Elisabeth, I saw your comment over at Mike's (...Elisabeth, I saw your comment over at Mike's (Annotated Margins) and wanted to wish you a speedy recovery!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-79269567403216108212010-09-06T15:44:28.242+10:002010-09-06T15:44:28.242+10:00I love the lucid old ladies.

I was getting my next IV drug treatment (for my chronic illness) a few days ago, and even with the needle and tube stuck in my arm it was a pleasant long conversation with a lovely lady who used to ride motorcycles on long roadtrips across North America with her husband, who used to rebuild Triumph motorcycles. About the only motorcycle I'd ever own is a Triumph, not that I'm into cycles. I used to know a group of Vietnam veterans who had their own informal motorcycle club, and they all rode Triumphs.<br /><br />I'm glad your fall was not worse, and that you'll eventually walk in triumph out of the hospital.Art Durkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463180236975988432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-6400104028259564622010-09-06T13:41:13.457+10:002010-09-06T13:41:13.457+10:00I'm so sorry to hear about your accident.
