Still Alive, Mushing Onward

My computer died, not me I am alive and recovering well from kyphoplasty. I had the surgery on a Thursday, came home on Friday, fell in the bathroom on Saturday, sprained my ankle and knee, and have been laying low ever since.

My computer got sick last week, and  I could only get on briefly before it shut me down, Meg's boyfriend came over Sunday and did a temporary fix, and  I hope he'll come back eventually and really fix it.

I am still having mini sort-of-fainting-spells when I stand up too fast, because my BP falls 20 points when I stand up. I am now walking with a cane and a phone in my pocket, per order of my daughter. She'd rather not spend her Sat nights in the ER.

I've been depressed as hell, with crying jags-my own wonderful after affect of anesthesia. Luckily, since I'm living alone, I have only foisted this reaction on a few people. I hope to be better as time passes. My other personal reaction is that I cannot take in what I read. This one would panic me, but I've had enough surgery to know reading will return eventually.

I miss each and everyone of you, and will start reading  your journals as soon as I can.

Blessings, Margo

Sweetie you just take it one step at a time.  We are all here for you.  The cane and phone is a great idea.

I do hope you get your 'puter permanently fixed.  I hate it when my 'puter acts up.

Margo,
I'm so sorry that you're feeling depressed.  I know that this too shall pass and you'll soon be moving well, with a normal down OR up BP.  What a thoughtful daughter.  Better days are ahead . . .  just relax and let your body heal.  

Sending you prayers and positive thoughts . . .  oh, and . ..

BIG HUGS!

Oh Margo I am so glad to hear from you.  I have been so worried about you.  I too go on crying jags and depression trips after anesthesia.  Another thing I hate about being put under.  I always have trouble with my short term memory for about a month afterward too.  Jumpin Jees isn't it the most wonderful stuff!?.  I am so pleased to know that your surgery went well.  Take care of yourself.  we miss you!  Pennie
