AT HOME AGAIN

Surgery went well according to Dr W.  He said that my bones were strong and, although a bad break, he got it together very well.  He does 2 or 3 of these a week. Usually, they are  almost as good as new.  Wait a minute; didn't Assistant B say "as good as new"?  No almost in there.  I distinctly remember.

I am mostly pain free due to block that went in leg before surgery.  

I come home with a walker and crutches and take to my bed for the evening.

Two weeks in this hard cast then 4 to 6 weeks more with out any weight on my foot.

I am 58 years old. Before now 

I have never been laid up for even close to this long.

I have never had surgery.

I have never been overnight in a Hospital

I have never taken Narcotics.

I have never broken a bone.

I am a very lucky person.

My life's experiences are growing by leaps and bounds.

My dog, Robin comes to me in bed and licks and licks my face.  She has never done that before in our 9 years of sleeping together.  Then she curls up beside me.

The crow with the broken leg is on the power wire in our back yard.  She is a little unsteady as she tries to balance on one good leg.  She sways like a tight rope walker.  She does better when she sort of sits on the wire instead.  Another crow is gobbling up the chicken Husband has laid out on the deck railing.  Stuffing as much as he can into his mouth, he barely makes flight.  Only crumbs left for poor one leg.
