My niece brought my mother some face cloths to fold and she started folding them and then fling one to the side and said "I would not have the patience" and now she is talkng to herself and complaining about foldng them. She was great before she gave them to her. LOL.

As an aside, the vaccination rate out in this rural area is only about 20%. But, it must be getting better, as I was waiting for mine yesterday, one other person came in for it. And the increase has spurred the health department to update the website.

I overdid. Doc cleared me for some range of motion exercises. ROM has gotten pretty bad. I did too many and am hurting. Had Moderna #2 yesterday so that may have something to do with it. Taken some Advil, now will try to nap, I feel exhausted.

Looking at my MIL’s dementia as a blessing today. She was mad as the devil at me last night when I refused to turn off the kitchen light. First she wanted it on, then she wanted it off. On again, and the second off again, I refused and told her I’d do it at bedtime. Oh, the FIT she threw!

Today…she’s forgotten all about it, and has told me that I’m a “good girl” and that I work so hard.

There are blessings to short term memory loss. This is one.

Well my brother is out having breakfast on the back porch and I put on my classical music on the front sunporch and put on my computor but low and behold brother is sitting on the porch now. I just told him I was going to finsih my breakfast he laughed and went to his room. LOL. I am not a morning person, love the peace and quiet and brother is a talker. I ask him if his mouth ever gets tired. He is a good guy, though.

Finally starting to sleep better. I have a selection of seven different pillows in my bed.😂 it is an exercise to just get myself situated. Then wake a couple hours later and adjust pillows again.

The chest area is relaxing a bit not as tight as it was. When I was released from the hospital I was sent home with oxygen. Now I am convinced it was because my chest was so tight, just not able to breathe deeply. The oxygen was picked up last Thursday. O2 readings are in the mid 90's this week, last week low 90's. I wondered if there was an altitude component also. The hospital is 2,000 feet higher than home is.

EB,
I don't know if Statin drugs can cause severe foot pain.
But I will share that I do have severe foot pain and do not take statins.

Send,
Do you think severe foot pain can be caused from statins?

Bridger,
Years ago, when I fell and broke my ankle (not as serious as yours), I was having trouble walking. Some of it was caused by lower spine issues. A wheelchair was sent. (Not a treatment, and to be avoided).
When I walked into the chiropractor, holding onto the walls for balance, I did not even think there was a chance for me. But within two months, I could walk again.

You might know this already, but be sure to fully investigate the reason for your fall. It could be neurological, or a medication (even statins).

And slow way down. My feet were not going in the direction I was aiming them, so I had a total of 3 falls over two years.

You can recover! Do your PT, and if you can, see a chiropractor when the time is right.

Best wishes Bridger!

Oh my! Bridger, that was terrible what happened to you. I am so sorry to hear. I can't imagine all the pain you have had. It takes longer to heal as we age. Are you stil doing PT? Have faith that you will heal and walk normal again.

I’ve been off here for several months. I fell at the end of April-shattered my ankle. Spent two weeks in hospital and eight weeks in nursing home, have had three surgeries on ankle complete with pins, screws and a metal plate. Did nerve damage in my lower back. Still not walking much except on walker.

Infection not as bad as it looked. Doc told me to put gauze on it yesterday, when she took it off today much of the yucky stuff had been absorbed. Don't even need antibiotics, but keep an eye on it. So that was a relief! I don't even need to see a medical oncologist. I am in very good shape. No radiation or chemo needed. In the grand scheme of things I am very fortunate.

A call from my dd1 to tell me to call ts2 who has been trying to reach me. I just have not felt like talking with anyone much lately. Dd1 told me that one of my best friends from high school has passed. Colon cancer stage 4. Hard to believe, am I in denial?

When my mom passed this friend made a beautiful, smallish flower arrangement on a rattan heart and such a sweet note. My mom was the fun mom and helped friends with crafts and sewing and just ideas. This friend worked in the grocery store floral department where mom always shopped. She would tell me stories of mom getting lost in the store. Mom was always found on the candy aisle.

She loved my mom and mom loved her. And there were two of them, identical red head, Swedish twins and went to the same church as well.😢
