Jappy...glad that Sage is doing well and you are getting out!

Chris-- Geez Louise (that's my middle name LOL!) pneumonia...you sound like me now...get yourself well! :hug:

Beth - glad your ankle is healing...how much longer in the cast?????

Hi Cheryl
No cast, the air cast lasted 6 days and my doc said take that off. I guess the ER was so surprised it wasn't broken that they treated it like it was. :Dunno:

I took the ace wrap off a couple weeks ago, and wore a neoprene brace (walmart). I stopped that because it hightened the spasticity in the achilles, so stiff. Yuck.

So now, I just wear slippers in the house and tennies outdoors. I can go up stairs like a big girl :D but have to go down stairs like a little kid. :( PT is kicking my butt, but I'm still working on getting the swelling down. More ice and elevation. It actually increased by 1/8 in. in a week. Not good.

I see a podiatrist on the 18th. Not sure what s/he can do, but pcp wants it done. Wow, this has turned into a long reply. Aren't you glad you asked?

:hug:

Yes, I am glad I asked. Sorry it has turned into a nightmare for you! I hope the pod can help you out! I broke my ankle a few years ago and it was not fun so I can imagine what you are going through!

Take care!

Hugs! :hug:

Is anyone getting more snow with this storm that is coming thru?

My son lives in Winchester,KY. He said that they are getting ready
for 6-12in. more of the white stuff. :eek:

He also said the winds are really blowing. Can't wait for this weather to
change.


Here's hoping that no one has anymore falls. We have to keep
these bones in one piece.

Beth I hope that you are doing better.

Jappy :hug:

Hi Jappy! We just have low temps and a brisk wind. NO snow and you can keep it.. I am sooo sick of Winter. I don't care if I ever see one stinkin flake of snow again!!!! Spring has got to be coming soon! *sigh*


Take care Beth and don't over do. You need to heal!!!
:hug:

I agree DM...we're supposed to have a rainy icky day tomorrow...snow in the foothills.

I got chilled yesterday out with a client and am just feeling crappy...been in bed most of the day today. Just can't seem to get warm.

Last night we had heavey rain and high winds. This morning when I
woke up it was 42 degrees out and lightly rainy.

There is fog rolling in now. I don't understand what is happening with
the weather anymore. Two days ago we were in the low 20s. This is
the first winter that I can remember when we had only snow 1 time that
had to shovel. The ice storms were not as bad as all of you had. Not that
I am complaining. It's just that everything is changing so.

Even Fla. had unusual cold weather this year. My sister said this was the
first year that she had to have the heat on more than ever.

Let's all cry out for


spring

Jappy

We got about 18 inches in our blizzard yesterday. Today the sun was shining and it was cold. But could see patches of concrete where the plow and snowblower with some help from the sun, was peeking through.

I tried to shovel, but after 15 minutes, and getting just down the steps and about 5 ft from the door... I fell backwards and had to be rescued by my sister. I tried using my arms to get up, but they kept going deeper. Needless to say, a warm shower and some dry jammies followed.

My fellow Ohioians are you as buried in snow as we are? I even heard Atlanta got a bit of snow yesterday.

:hug:

Dang, Beth! Are you on some kind of martyr mission?:eek: Cut it out, fer cryin' out loud! Stop getting yourself all bashed up, how will you have any summer fun if you're in a bloody body cast???:holysheep:

I felt so bad when I saw how OH got dumped on. Son in law's parents live in OH and got about another foot of snow...

We didn't get anymore, in fact it was 40
s today and supposed to be 50 tomorrow. Pleeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!

Sorry about your tumble, Beth.... As AMN, said....no more of that!!
