From my e-mail inbox Tuesday morning: Hey Joe, Tell everyone I have not forget about anyone, my second surgery is September 26, I'm a nervous wreck once more, but having so much pain, I have to do it, The one I had done in June is fantastic, no pain, and I can't believe it, I hope the surgery goes well. I'm sorry that yours was a bad experience, how are you feeling now? A big hug to the support group, and hoping everyone is doing fine. KIKI. > . > . [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > 2.

Hey, Joe, pass on to her that we will all be rooting for her second surgery to be as successful as the first!

I have told her that all our prayers and crossed fingers are pointed her way. <g> ... Old age is always 15 years older than I am. Thanks for asking! I just hit my four month mark on Sunday. My surgeon said it would take me 4-6 months for a full recovery, so I'm right on track. I still have a limp and the leg is still weak, but I can bend and crawl and climb steps and put on my shoes and it doesn't hurt! Such a blessing! And, two weeks ago, I drove to Arizona from Missouri and surprised my elderly parents with a visit! I hadn't been back to AZ since I moved to MO 19 years ago- altho they had been here to visit me quite a few times. The drive was exhausting, but the look on their faces??? Waaayyyy beyond priceless! And..... I bought a 'new-to-me' full sized 4x4 truck yesterday! I was so tired of the puny truck after driving it for a year (developed an oil leak in AZ and lost 2 quarts of oil on the 10 mile drive to the dealership!) and it had a bunch of mechanical problems that were covered under warranty- thank goodness- but the warranty was about to run out and I was concerned it would nickel and dime me to death. So, if anybody sees a big silver Chevy truck in a handicapped spot just know it's me and I'm thrilled to be back in a big bad truck again!

Really appreciate it! Now, how are YOU coming along? I bet a whole lot better now that you are in your own home and can deal with things better! Did you ever hear anything back from the facility after sending the letter you wrote? Hugs and healing prayers to you, my friend!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.

I've learned over the years that sometimes ASA folks just can't post in the group but are willing to share e-mail updates. It really helps. > Now, how are YOU coming along? I bet a whole lot better now that you > are in your own home and can deal with things better! The swelling in the legs and feet is down and I can now wear shoes. <g> A little discomfort in the area of the incision. Off-and-on pain in the groin. Walking with a cane indoors but still using the walker outside until I build a little more confidence. > Did you ever hear anything back from the facility after sending the > letter you wrote?

"Sincerely, "Maureen Hanifin, RN, CRRN, BSN "Program Director, San Diego Rehab Institute" I'm sure that because of privacy issues she couldn't write exactly what happened. I know if I were in her position, anyone who forgot a patient for 2-1/2 hours, then called them "stubborn" would be fired on the spot. ...

You have to admit the level of nice pleasant BS in their letter is a huge improvement over what you might have received a few years ago. All nice and non-admissive to keep the attorneys happy while making the patient feel responded to. (I'm serious, the letter really is well done.) Jo ROFL!!! Congrats on the new truck Leslie!!! Whew, that was one very long road trip you took to surprise your parents!!! No wonder you were exhausted!!! I am impressed, though, that you were able to do that trip! Good for you!!! Am just thrilled to hear you are doing so well! Hugs and blessings! Donna . . . . 1. ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.
