This is my first post here in quite some time and it feels good to be able to post even though I doubt that I shall be able to post much over the next few weeks. As some of you know, recently I have been suffering from a severe debilitation (which, I am beginning to suspect, does not necessarily have a cardiac aetiology).
Last Sunday evening I slipped at home and broke my right foot. That's right: foot, not leg. I was rushed to hospital and they operated first thing Monday morning. Now I am back home, trying to learn how to live my life from bed to wheelchair to walker. And it ain't easy at all, because I must NOT tread on my right foot in any way for two whole months! (My foot is also in a giant plaster cast - I have never seen anything so big and so clumsy (apart from me, of course). Add to all that the fact that I just do notr have the strength to haul myself up from a chair or bed and you see that I am rather dependent on others. Hopefully, the visits of the physiotherpist will teach me how to deal with the situation.
Hugs for all my friends.

Hey JFR, if just words and thoughts help, get better soon. I'm sure you'll receive rhe best of attention and I hope they find out what the other trouble is.
Hugs

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Durn JFR, I'm gonna stop complaining about my shoulder. I hope it heals ok and after therapy you will have your foot back to normal.

I hope the surgeons have done their job properly, and that your foot is going to heal quickly and without complications. Best wishes!

You are sorely missed in our discussions, but your recovery is paramount. Come back to us soon, but not before you can do so without stress or discomfort. Be safe, and - just for once - put yourself first!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

I am beginnng to get organised. I know that I have to spend the next two months between bed and wheelchair (and armchair when there are kind folks to help me get there and up again). But, I have added a tray to my wheelchair which means that now I can use my laptop, and that means that (via the wireless connection) I have Internet access from my wheelchair! Yay!
So I should be around here a lot more now. There will be those who receive this piece of news with equanimity and others who receive it with dismay. That's life.

I suspect that I won't be the only person to receive this piece of news with pleasure at your presence (although, of course, sympathy at the cause of it, and your current immobility).
Wireless laptop is a major help to any of us with mobility problems: I've been astonished at the difference it has made to my own life.
