Thread Name: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort
Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort
Broke my shoulder. Slipped on ice, Jan. 20. Shoulder surgery on Jan. 28. Housebound, can't drive, live alone. A waterproof substance was supposed to be applied so I could shower, but the hospital was out of it. Let's hear it for US healthcare! Sponge baths only until at least my post-op appointment on Thursday. Nerve blocks were used just before wheeling me into the OR. I wasn't sedated yet. Gasps of pain. A friend who'd had knee surgery said she was partially sedated when hers were administered and felt no pain. I'll ask about these things at the post-op appointment. Probably won't be able to go back to the Y for 3 months, and then I'll only be able to do chair yoga for a while until my upper body strength builds and I can rise from my yoga mat. At least yoga has given me the flexibility to dress myself!
Trying to decide if I should sue because the parking lot where I fell hadn't been sanded yet. The manager said she'd called for the sander but it hadn't arrived yet. I've never sued before even when I might have had cause.
Other than that, life is good.
