"Stumpy" lives - much to the chagrin of the trolling trash...
....Just a quick update on my status for those concerned. I'm at home,
and I'll be honest, kids - it's been pretty rough getting adjusted to one leg here at OMWorld Central. I've had two nasty falls already, both of which impacted the stump pretty hard. No major damage, but it's resulted in a rethink of the ergonomics and logistics of getting around the apartment. Biggest problem was the bathroom, as the door was about 5 inches narrower than the other doors in the apartment. This kept me from using the rolling office chair to move from the bed to the facilities without having to stand up and move around. One slip, and BAM. Needless to say, it's still hurting like hell, but it's getting better. It just appears that I bruised things, as no stitches or sutures were ruptured. ....In any case, we've got everything worked out now, and the only thing I have to worry about is the fact that the combination of Vicodin and Soma I'm on has me rather weakened. Luckily I've got mOM and Brother Dim helping ouf when needed, so I'm able to get to the desk and get some work done. Transferring from the bed to the desk chair is a little odd because of the unadjustable height difference, but I"m coping. I've also learned that if I fall, I've got to make sure that the stump is up in the air no matter how I land. I've wrapped it up with some additional cushioning, but I'm in no hurry to see if it actually helps. ....Once again, I want to thank everyone who's posted their support in this rather difficult time. The ordeal isn't over, as I've got a few months of therapy left, including training inthe use of the new leg when/if it gets approved. I've got to get the ball rolling on that in the morning. From what I'm told, I can get assistance up to 100% provided they're convinced I'm not a "bum on the street" and I *do* need the leg in order to do my photography work. We'll see. ....One thing's for certain: as hard as that stump hit, I know how our returning ISS crew felt when that Soyuz landed a bit too hard yesterday!

He'll get that lower leg back as soon as we stick his stump into a pit full of Sandtrout. Then those trolls had better damn-well watch out...."Sietch Wizard" will be arriving. :-D Pat |

Good luck with the rest of the rehabilitation. Dealing with health care (doctors and insurance) isn't fun on the best of days. ...One thing's for certain: as hard as that stump hit, I know how our returning ISS crew felt when that Soyuz landed a bit too hard yesterday! A 10 G re-entry after six months in orbit has to be a p.i.t.a. At least the Soyuz didn't kill them, but still, not the preferred way to end a mission. Jeff -- A clever person solves a problem.

Glad to see your spirits are up considering part of you got left behind at the hospital. Stumpy is perhaps not the best name but I recognize the sardonic humor behind it.:-) Maybe the regulars should nominate a new one for OM. Somehow I know Pat's gonna pile in on this one ;-) |
