as much, I fell foul of my steep stairs again, broke my leg and back. Leg
is
not so bad now, but it looks like I'll have to have cement put into my
spine
if I want to lead a normal life. I had to spend some time in a nursing
home
because my bed and toilet facilities are upstairs. It was not a good
experience.
Anyway, when I got the airboot off my leg, I was home from the nursing
home
next day, it was a Friday. On Monday I was measured up for a 2nd stair
rail
and they came Tuesday to install it. How fabulous is that?
Boyfie is always very patient when I'm in hospital, he just waits,
allowing
himself to be fed by sister in law, Claire, but the moment I'm home, he
claims she's a stranger and tries to rush out of the back door if she
visits, like he'd never seen her ever before. FGS, she's visiting nearly
every day atm, over the years he must have seen her a thousand times but
still he trusts no-one except me. Luckily, she is fond of him, and is
not
offended by the fact that when she feeds him when his mummy is missing
she's
ok and when his mummy is back, she becomes a frightening stranger.
I haven't a clue what happened to him before he arrived here, but it must
have been kind of serious.

Wow! You and Boyfie have been having a rough time!

I'm glad you're home and your 2nd stair rail was installed so quickly. I
know Boyfie is glad you're home too.

I know what you mean about what happened to Boyfie before you met him. I
wonder the same thing about Koala. Again, it must have been pretty
serious because, not only does he hide when anyone else comes over, he
shows absolutely no desire to go outdoors. He loves watching the birds
and squirrels that eat the seeds and peanuts I put out, but backs away
from the door when I open it to take the food out or to come back in.

I just wish I knew about his past. He had a posh collar on, so someone had
him before so that suggests they cared about him (not enough to have him
neutered though) which is probably why he got lost. Looking for girls and
following his hormones. I sorted out his hormones and now he's sleeping by
the fire :-)


I hope you'll be able to have the necessary work done to get your life
back to normal, and that that experience isn't too horrendous.
