Calling all Mudcatters with links to upbeat, encouraging music and funny-but-not-obscene videos for Mudcat's own Janie. She's managed to fall and badly fracture a femur. She's feeling a bit better than when she first posted about her injury:

"Fell on a slick floor at work Monday and have badly shattered my left femur. ,still in fog from surgery severe pain and morphine. Hop e this makes sense. Good thoughts please"
***

Janie tells me, "I would enjoy folks posting music or funny vids..."
So please, let's put together a fun, cherry thread with links to beautiful tunes, well-crafted songs, and funny vids to get Janie back on two strong legs.

Moderators, please feel free to slide this down below in a few days. Since this is a immediate need for good music links for a steadfast music-loving member, I hope it can remain topside for a bit where 'Catters will quickly see it.

Gosh Janie... all that might make it hard to get to sleep at night. You need a good book that is conducive to somnolence.

Here is a link to Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West..... sorry... it IS in German, but here is a *cough.. giggle*'brief' explanation which may adequately soporific by itself.

No need to thank me....

(I'll think about some nice music to add to the nice list above.)

See my post yesterday did not take. All God things posted thus far and continue to cheer me along. Glad last one didn't post cuz it included a grumpy factor about hospital staff not telling me anything. Mostly my fault for not assertively asking.

PT started today and it was good to not be flat on my back all day. Sore but feel overall much better in mind and body for being able to moon orderlies occasionally hoping down the hall with a walker. Then a more experienced therapist came along and suggested a 2nd gown worn like a jacket over the first☺️




(Actually quite happy with the additional cover)

Janie, that's good. Rehab is where they offer tedious but helpful tasks for your recovery. We like the idea of recovery. I'll send you an email.

Well, folks, I can report that she's as healthy and happy as you can be while you're still jacked up and pinned down. It's very nice where she is, but it ain't home, and it's crowded and noisy. What's probably needed is a damn good song circle, so I'm arranging to fly in a couple of world-renowned experts in that department.

She's way more gracious and patient than I could ever hope to be in her position, that's for sure : )

She needs laughter, music, and still good wishes for healing.
