What is UP in here???

Sorry! I missed the chat because I didn't know how to get on! Arlies e-mailed me with instructions, so maybe next Saturday I will be there. Today is the first day that I have really felt good since my fall. My foot feels much better today, and my sister is supposed to come this afternoon. Maybe I can get out of this house! I am going stir-crazy!! I talked to Janet today about my surgery date. She said December 16, but that Dr. Whitehead was afraid I would not be able to go to work Jan.2 as I have planned. I'm kinda afraid of that also, since my little accident! I see Dr. Williford Tuesday. I will make a definate decision then as to whether to have the surgery now or wait until after my foot heals completely. Dr. Williford says it is ok to go ahead.......... or at least that is what he said Wednesday when I saw him. Since that time I have fallen two more times. Thank goodness I had that brace on! My sore leg was ok, but now I am afraid of going to the bathroom when I am alone. My husband is working nights, and sleeping days. I don't sleep well without him here,(even after 37 yrs!) so I have been sleeping days as well. Today I am wide awake! Doubled up on the pain meds last night and slept like a baby! Jimmy really IS looking good! And I am proud of you as well! Thanks for sitting on the ground with me, and for coming to check on me in the hospital. Have a good day! Susan

Hi SUSAN! I have been wondering where youve been. I am sorry you are going thru all of this. I wish there was some way they could move your surgery up. Did you ask Janet about the possibility of that? I think as far as going back to work--I guess everyone is different--I went back fairly quick. I felt great. You better be really careful getting around-dont over due it. Keep your weight off of your ankle. Maybe it will heal quicker. That scares me when you say you have fallen 2 more times. Hunny, our feets are meant to stay firmly on the ground. BE CAREFUL! If you dont have the surgery in Dec when will you? I think you will be ok. But if you wait-then you get to come to another support group! That will be fun as long as you dont pull that stunt again. Talk to you later ---let me know if you need anything!
