Hello and good thoughts to all.
I have news about myself which is not so good . I fell in my TV room and broke
my right hip. At first I was very angry with myself for doing that but everyone
convinced me it was an unfortunate accident.
I was taken to Robinson Memorial Hospital where I had surgery not a replacement
but a repair. Because of it was a repair job I must keep all weight off for
eight or nine weeks then I will be able to practice walking again. This procedure
requires my hopping on one foot (using walker) then getting into a wheel chair.
Enough, but think of me and I know it will help.
After surgery I went to Edwin Shaw Rehabilitation Hospital for
very serious therapy They were terrific.
Initially the people at Robinson Hospital didnt want to send me there because
they said I was too old and would not be able to handle it. But I proved them
wrong I did great and am continuing therapy at home.
I am now able to put all my weight on my
right leg and am getting around with a walker and learning to
walk again.
The last Christmas of the 20th century is now in the past. That really seems so final. In reality it is a new start and so far all is well with the world - and of course with the computers. They are really a very mysterious invention. I think they were made to frustrate us little people!!
Had a great Christmas dinner with all our loved ones together. It was a nice climax to all Christmases past.
I welcomed the New Year quietly at home - called Barby and Jack to wish them the best and had a pork dinner to welcome the new year.
Uncle Joe Mervar is in the hospital with pneumonia but I think he will be okay.
Not much more but my usual attempt at being a poet, so here goes...
