Rita, hon,,, just wondering how you are doing, has the pain lessened, are you in the least bit mobile now?  What is the next step?

Hi Rita...I was thinking about you also !! Do you have a date for placement of the pins ?


Hopefully, you are not in as much pain !

Today my leg hurts a little more than yesterday, but the meds help out sooo much. Next week I'm think I'm gonna do a body cast because then I can get around more and get outta bed. We might have found aDr in Cushing, Okla, which might be a good thing, but he can't see me for 2 wks and I'm getting real tired of just sitting here and having no life whatsoever. He said he'll put a spika spilent on it, but you know what....I have spilent on it now and I haven't gotten outta bed since I've had it on.

Yeah it goes around my waist, but its more support without a heavy cast, and I've had that before. I think they are gonna do it sometime this week instead of today, but it wasn't a 100% that they would do it today anyways.


I've got a TV and the computer in my room, so I'm okay for now, but every now and then I need a good cry, but who doesn't?
