I knew it was gonna be the Beatles!!! So a picture blog sounds cool. Is your kitties glad we are gone? lol
i can't believe you can't find transportation. the transportation here in phoenix and in LA you don't have to apply you just call them and show them your medicare card when they pick you up. Sux..... I get to see my neurologist tomorrow. On hold with my insurance as we speak. Time to reapply.
Thanks so much for the input, lady-- I immediately thought of you back when this first happened so I always wonder how you are throughout the day . I take my legs for granted obviously, hehe-- never really thought about the strain I must be putting on them until this .
In hindsight:
I actually messed up my back almost 4 years ago, and during the physical therapy they discovered my right leg is a few millimeters shorter than the left, and in my case this was causing the issue. They said I needed to have a custom lift made to even out the distribution of weight, but it didn't seem that important to me then . The sad part is that now you can actually see what NOT using a lift has done-- the right leg carries most of my weight so the whole right side of my body is twice as toned as the left side . After this is dealt with.... I should probably go have that damn lift made, hehe
You're a strong woman, and even though I know your foot issues suck beyond comprehension I know you'll be ok . You're a sweet, kind, intelligent chick and even a bum foot can't take that away
Have you checked into whether there are any community aid programs that may be able to help you get to your appointments? A good place to ask might be the Patient Advocate at the hospital you were in for the surgery.
I can't wait to see your pictures...(can I see one of your little piggy, before she goes away?) It was probably a really cute toe, back in it's wilder days.
^^^^I think that you should make him come and get them.
Though to judge by his Avatar he seems content
without them.
Writing this made me smile. And these:
-PBS Great Preformances- ''Cyrano DeBergerac'' staring Kevin Kline
-My nitely dose of MASH.
-Making a yummy supper of: Swedish style turnips and the last of the
=X-mas ham in creamed onions [ home made not froz ].
-the kitten stalking the older cats, and being a kitten.
I wish you well in your healing and there has to be something for transportation.
Try that Advocate suggestion.
Hey girl, I know whatcha mean. I live 22 miles from town and literally put my life in my hands every time I get into a car--a 'rear-ender' will probably kill me due to so many shattered/missing neck vertebrae.
why not move into town? let's see: 1) my house is paid for; 2) I can't sell it for that much (I live in a poor county, "town" is 4x as expensive--really) 3) I LOVE my house & 60 acres.
so I am stranded 80% of the time. I have, over the decade of disability generated a matrix of drivers/hospital waiting room pals that keeps my wife sane and me married. I use local church people, friends, and school teachers. the church folk know that I don't do their god (I teach Hinduism for gods's sakes!) and that I do the work of the devil (I make a living as an astrologer). but they don't give a shit--or the one church doesn't. they just like to be helpful. And they've made life livable. So don't exclude a resource until you've met the folk working there--some new age folk that I know have NEVER lifted a finger for me, even though they've taken years of free advice and classes from me, and some Christians are sick fucks who won't shut up, but there are some folk that share a 'don't ask don't tell' policy--they're just retired, bored and like a little company. I feed them at the hospital restaurant and we call it even.
BTW I go to a neurologist, internist, GI guy, PCP, and Acupuncturist every week. I have to. so the whole ride thing is a major basis around which all things get scheduled. I've also trained my PCP to see me right after/before the Acu lady even tho it's not a regular day for him.
also: here's a link that might give you some local info: http://www.aclu-nm.org/Issues/disability.html
it also seems that Easter Seals does transport
and I think I remember that the (gag) Methodists the run Ghost Ranch do too (though they really scared the shit out of me with their zombie smiley faces!)

honestly, when we met, we hated the idea of marriage, and the government interference and whatnot, but its like we are perfect for each other, and we want to do the ceremony, and have our vows, and our rings, and the closest people, its awesome, the excitement is crazy. im sure im probably gonna cry
I've been through a similar situation - and the trials and tribulations have been the fodder for many jokes. When I was living it - I never thought I would be able to look back at it and joke about it. Humor is the best medicine - it get's us through impossible situations.
I 'm glad that you have been able to hold onto some semblamnce of sanity through all this. I absolutely love your spirit. You've managed to retain your sense of humor through all of this - which shows a true strength of character.
Kudo's to you. I'm looking forward to the picture blog. Hugs!
i made it thru stage one of my project.... now stage 2... ugh... more editng
