Dear MelodyL, I've been looking for an update from you. I'm hoping 'no news is good news'.

Isn't it always the 'small things' that make life so miserable with a major accident or illness, like the constipation and then the gas? That's not to downplay the misery of a fractured hip.

But for me the very worst 'small thing' is the foley catheter. I had to have surgery three times in 10 months that involved wearing the catheter for a week each time. I felt suicidal by the end of each week. Just trying to sleep through the last day so I could get it out!

Let us know how you're doing at this point. Are you in rehab now?

Hugs, ElaineD
