I Got A Picture From Annabelle Today. 4/21/2022 - Page 5

@ECBG It's such a jolt and a shock to the system when trauma hits. Physical AND emotional. If you talk to her please relay all our hopes for her recovery. I picture her healing and the fractures kniting together to be strong and whole again. The brace is a scaffold. She broke but now she's Under Construction! Everything she's enduring now is her path to healing. Wishing her Well in my thoughts.

Many thanks.

I'm hesitant to call her and afraid she is sleeping so she can heal. The picture isn't one I can bare to see. I have never experienced anyone I know with a trauma like this.

I send a text every few days but I don't want to be intrusive.

@ECBGUnderstood.

Oh John, you have to be just about the unluckiest person I've ever known, medically speaking. Best wishes for a quick recovery. Hope Doc doesn't restrict you too much.

The strength always happens when you really believe in it....that you will overcome this: and the belief in this makes it happens.

The road ahead may seem long but you are doing it with all your friends and are never alone.

And of course, YES, you can be cranky if you want!

Sending prayers and well wishes.

@ECBG yes don't call. Hope she sleeps a lot because it helps her to forget the pain.

@depglass it keeps him down for a while but he always bounces back. He'll tell the doctor he's been throught this many time and he knows what's best for him. lol

I could hear the Doctors wondering if at his age he's still skating. They would want to be like him.

@depglass

Thank you, but I consider myself to be quite lucky. As for physical injuries, most were caused by the choices I made. I seem to choose things that come with a higher than average risk factor, and no matter ones skill, injuries happen. I have known that since I started playing ice hockey at a very young age, and after 16 years old, driving race cars.

As for my many serious health issues? I see myself as quite lucky to still be alive. A few of them were had I not been where I was at the time? I likely would not have survived them, right places at the right times, luck/fate?

These health issues had nothing to do with my chosen lifestyle. One, I believe is my genetic predisposition, others? Not even the doctors know for sure the causes.

I believe my good physical fitness helped get me through several of my toughest times, and recoveries. along with maybe a little luck.

As far as my "Doc restricting me too much"? They all know me quite well and realize I am a very unusual person when it comes to levels of restrictions after recoveries. As long as they say I can't further injure myself, I am good to go, pain be danged.

Thanks again for your thoughts about this old guy.

Our good Friend has fallen, is in the hospital, in pain, and has asked for our thoughts and prayers.

The continued back and forth about railing, and who said what about them, and who deduced what about them, to me seems argumentative, and unseemly under the circumstances.

Easy enough to start a thread about the need of railing for older people. Seems way off to me. Just IMPO, others obviously disagree,
