well, my goodness - i wondered where you were! so did you have the other tests? my grandma got beat up by the wheelchairs they used at her residence - they didn't have the metal legs wrapped and the patients were always getting their legs cut. my bro and i went to a hardware store and bought $100 worth of rubbery pipe installation cover and duct tape and spent a whole day wrapping those chair legs. end of problem!
it's a tough business, those nursing homes. stay on them, and advocate for the best care! you deserve it, jersey, as does everyone else! hugs, k

I've been pretty much bed-ridden since my freakish accident, and going stir crazy. The leg is still bound up, but it's good to be "mobile" again in my electric scooter. Don't know how long I'll last, so I'm going to make the most of it for now.

I'm up for a bit...don't know how long I'll last before I have to get back in bed for a while. The Tylenol isn't doing diddly, and the percocet tends to "clog the plumbing", which just creates another painful problem. If I had a bullet, I'd be biting it!
The weather here is really nasty...windy and raining. Would have liked to get outside for a breath of fresh air, but tomorrow is supposed to be nicer.
Have a good weekend, everyone.

I stayed up way too long yesterday...the leg had swelled to twice its size again...not going to make that mistake today. Back to bed after I have lunch.
Trying to work up a bit of Halloween Spirit here...I love the holiday, but just can't seem to get into a festive mood this year. Bummer!

The frost is on the pumpkin here in Jersey. Had to activate the heat last night. I'm already wishing for May 1st...I hate winter!
They put me in a regular wheelchair, and I felt powerless, unless I have someone to constantly be pushing me around. So, I'm back in the motorized one, which gives me some small sense of freedom. We can become spoiled so easily.

Pop a wheelie? I've got all I can do to get around corners without running into someone! I have a bumper sticker that says, "Higher Powered - Sponsor Driven"...and, it's a good thing.
I finally got a much needed two-week overdue shower...the last one was interrupted by the shower head incident. Well, at least I'm cleaned up for Mischief Night.

singing along to the MONSTER MASH!
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

Good Grief, Charlie Brown! You sound like an accident just looking for a place to happen, Wild One. Are you sure the second half of your name isn't indicative of the number of lives you have?
