I am getting more and more impatient with the healing process....Bob and I have decided to take a short walk around our circle this afternoon to build up my leg muscles. I found my un-used sneakers ( unused since I fell). Finding them myself can be easier than giving him instructions ..lol. I will take the walker which is all wheels and a seat ( if I need to rest) and head out when he returns .
The lack of enthusiasm is for starting any new bears or friends ... or anything really. Going to have to work on that!!
Bob and I just returned from my first walk with walker around my cul-de-sac.....time to strengthen my leg muscles!
My granddaughter wants help taking photos for a portfolio...think I can get up enthusiasm for that!! She has made great strides in her art classes this year!! She's my favorite grand daughter even though she's the only ...!!!!LOL!!

I'm back sort of...
Just after my last posting Tigger ( Robb's orange striped cat) tripped me in the kitchen. Well... I had a choice.... either crush him or fall. I chose the latter. I fell with a huge bang and when DH came running could not get up. Luckily the First Responders are only blocks away! They managed to get me onto a carrier, out to the EMT vehicle and off to the hospital.
I broke my femur ( thigh bone) into four pieces. The orthopedic surgeon inserted a titanium tube into the femur.
All this was complicated by by my afib and the thickness of my blood.
My insurance sent me to a rehab facility after the hospital stay where I received physical and occupational therapy..... now I am home. I still get physical therapy ( Scott is really good). The doctors say I am healing well
So with a rented hospital bed. toilet lifters, walkers and a transition chair we are coping. It would have been a lot easier if our house wasn't multi-floors.!
DH has been wonderful throughout.... constant visitor to the hospital and rehab facility.... washed and brought clean clothes etc. He has watched me progress and has been a great "go for" . For whatever I need or want!!
Today is my first time back at the computer!!! Life must be getting much more normal!!
