Just glad it wasn't worse. You are right about old ladies with "sticks." They are pretty much ignored. I get more bang for the buck when I take my Rollator to the bookstore or whatever. (Plus, you can put your purse under the seat and let your purchases ride along on the seat. Long line? Sit down. Anyway, I send you all the very best wishes for a perfect recovery.Sharonhttp://www.napwithoutguilt.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-25634638735024622832011-01-19T22:19:53.544+00:002011-01-19T22:19:53.544+00:00Like Val's very practical suggestions!

When I was on crutches after a knee replacement I discovered that an apron with a large pocket worked well in the house and a book bag slung diagonally across the shoulder worked equally well outside.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382137851728211157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-5200451757976736352011-01-18T12:55:52.615+00:002011-01-18T12:55:52.615+00:00It really is a wake up call when one temporarily l...It really is a wake up call when one temporarily loses the use of a limb, hearing or sight. Last year when I lost the use of my left arm for a week, I was horrified to think that I might never be able to drive, sew, and do a hundred other things that I take for granted. <br />You are very keen to go back to work so soon - as Lucille said, it must be very tiring. Poor foot needs REST, not work!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-68937795313818567532011-01-17T22:44:46.717+00:002011-01-17T22:44:46.717+00:00Yes, I remember.

When he was able to walk normally he used to slam doors in people's faces and when he was in a wheelchair he would drive it into the door until someone opened, only when he was on crutches would he accept help and hold doors open for other people - we never found out why.Janehttp://jeeandme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-85957542349659533932011-01-17T13:23:16.685+00:002011-01-17T13:23:16.685+00:00Oh, poor you.
