Home at last

At last I am home after breaking my ankle in a major way on October 16, so
severely it had to be plated and pinned. I was in hospital for 6 days
before they could operate because my ankle was so swollen, I learned from my
shoulder break to call for help immediately and an ambulance came with blue
lights.
After the op I was in the hospital for another 6 days and I was not allowed
to weight bear on my foot for 5-6 weeks so I could not go home as my toilet
and bedroom are upstairs but they let me go to my aunt's house as she has a
stairlift.
I've been there for what seems an age, until today.
It was like I was in a timezone, I was not able to go outside and their
house is very warm, had no idea of the weather or what was happening in the
real world. I'm surprised to find out it's nearly Christmas.
When I got home my house is FREEZING, but I have lit the woodburner.

I have some disabled thingies to help me for a while. Toilet frames..I could
not have managed without them.
Zimmer frames.. still useful, perching stool to sit at the kitchen worktop
without being on two feet.
I was so unable to get up any step with one foot that I was confined to the
house. It was impossible.
My aunt tried (without telling me, I think she didn't believe it) but she
admitted she couldn't do it either.

Boyfie is so amazed that I've come back that he cannot stop meowing.

I'm glad you and Boyfie are back together, and I certainly hope that is the
last break you have.

Glad to hear you're back home. I'll bet Boyfie is REALLY glad you're home!

He is, but it's only taken 8 weeks for him to go back to his feral ways of
wanting the door to be open all the time, like it was when I was away.

Tweed,

I'm glad to see you back here! That sounds like a terrible, painful
injury, and so soon after your other accident. It's great that you're
getting help with disability gadgets - if you don't have someone there
to help you all the time, technology is the way to go.

It's too bad someone couldn't have gone to your place and picked up
your computer for you. If I were confined to the house I would certainly
want Internet access! What did you do to entertain yourself? I mean,
after the worst of the pain was past? Are you all caught up on the soaps?

You must be so happy to be home and to see your lovely boy. Did June
feed him the whole time you were gone? And if so, is she now allowed to
pet him? (Or at least, to be in the same room with him?) I'm sure he's
telling you all about it.

Wecome back. Purrs for no more broken bones!

Welcome back! I'm sorry you had to go through all that but I know you're
glad to be home. And I know Boyfie is!

He is, but it's only taken 8 weeks for him to go back to his feral ways
of wanting the door to be open all the time, like it was when I was
away. Tweed

I think that's understandable - he didn't know that you would be back,
after all. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he settles back into his pre-
hospital ways quickly.

So glad you're back, and so is Boyfie, I'm sure!
