Jan I am so sorry to hear of all the pain and suffering you have gone through since last Month. We will be looking forward to your gaining your strength and being able to get back to our so called "normal". I know that P.T. is not easy, but something we need to do. Don't give up and remember we are all behind you and rooting for you to get better. Remember, don't overdo.
Take care. Patti - Wisconsin From: Jan Hargrove [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 4:31 PM To: tmic-list Subject: [TMIC] AOL........ Dear tmfamily, I have deleted every piece of mail since 9/16, as I have spent the last 2 weeks in the hospital......I fell the night of 9/16, went to hospital 9/17 had surgery 9/18 and went to rehab 9/19. The surgery placed pins in my rigtht ankle which I broke on both sides. Am home as of Sat 10/2 and most happy to be here........I'm tired and only moving by wheelchair which will be replaced by scooter next week. I deleted more than 1700 emails, which included all from youall.......I'll catch up with what's going on as I gain strength. This is not all bad news. I've not shared what's been happening to me since Feb...........at that time I had an illness, not flu,but flu-like. My doc said it most likely was a virus that would wear out in time. I was down long enough that I began to lose some of my mobility. On the other hand I began to regain feelings that hadn't been there since tm came to stay (19996). I wondered if the pains I began to have were there all along, but I couldn't feel them. As I lost more mobility, I came to depend more and more on my 4 prong and my walker. My walker was part of reason I broke my ankle........that and my clumsiness!! With rehab I have begun to regain the strength I'll need to become a member of walking wounded again. Home Care, esp.p.t., will continue for at least next 60 days. This is all for now, it's taken two sessions to get this written..........later....... janh
