I WANT TO LIVE!

Today is four weeks to the day that my injury occurred.

I went back to the "scene of the crime;" one of my friends said I was talking to him when I fell.

I do not remember this.

I do remember that the staff had set up a number of tables near the area and that I was glad that I did not hit my head on a table.

My friend told me I turned my head at the last minute to avoid colliding with the table; he stated my head missed the tabletop by a few inches!

I let my left wrist take the inpact of the fall rather than my head.

I can live without a hand but I cannot live without my brain!

I WANT TO LIVE!

INJURED

I fell during a recreational outing after 9 PM on Thurs. Feb. 21.

To make a long story short I sustained a bad break in my left wrist; my first broken bone.

Surgery was on Feb. 26; I spent the whole day Feb. 27 in the hospital on a morphine pump.

Luckily I have good health insurance through my employer.

Since I live alone I am staying with my mother and her boyfriend at least through the second weekend in March.

I can make my bed every morning and make coffee and get my own breakfast cereal but it's hard for me to bathe and wash my hair without assistance; not to mention the bathtub here has a right sided bar left over from my grandmother.
