Back again at last

[thekristeen]

Well, in case anyone has noticed, I haven't been here for awhile. After several weeks of just not feeling well, I finally had a crisis and ended up in the pokey for almost three weeks. I've been out for awhile, but haven't even read my Friends page yet. Just haven't felt up to it

Hey!

[rclementmoore]

It's good to "see" you. I've been sending good thoughts your ways. Sounds like even with the back slide, you're bouncing back on your feet more quickly. :)

Yeah, with a good physical therapist to act as cheer leader (she knows I've been through this before, but she's good at getting my buns moving) and some help from my sister, I'm standing fairly easily and walking without too much trouble. My big motivation right now is to get mobile enough to lose the Foley. The nurse is planning to take it out on Saturday(hurray!)

Well, that would be serious motivation. :-) Also, a good PT can be an excellent motivator, too. We had bad and good with mom, and she made MUCH faster progress with the good.

Yeah, the good ones are all half cheerleader, half drill instructor. And they know when to be which. Cindy is medium height, thin, but she has muscle. The way she hauled my carcass around the first few days is proof of that. Plus she and my sister managed to pick up my very heavy bed and put blocks under the casters to raise it so that I can get up easier. I didn't think they'd be able to do it, but Cindy is a determined lady. The drill instructor side came out and they got it done.

Good to have you back!!! Hope you get better soon.

I'm working on it, Ranger. Thanks.

It's good to "see" you, Kris! I hope things are going well now.
