And surgery next week Wednesday or Friday.

Good luck with your surgery Dahlia. Glad you have two good men to help you with it. Hoping for the best outcome.

As an aside, and the cast on your leg notwithstanding, I love your bedroom furniture. Beautiful wood.

sure hope the surgery will take care of things for you .....

Feel for you. It sucks, recovering from any injury. God Bless you and bring you back to health.

Thank you everyone! It's a nasty fall. I'm just now starting to feel pain.

A fall? No no no. You need a much better story than that.


Heal up well and soon. RR

Been there/Done that. Hope your injury isn't as bad as mine was. I can't remember now, I either fell on a slippery deck or Tina shattered my femur with a lead pipe for mouthing off. Seriously, it was one or the other for sure...

I'm old, memory isn't that good. It hurt though.

P.S.

Hope you do well post op, sorry for your injury.

Not a good way to spend your birthday.

Praying for the best for you

Good luck with the surgery, when you fell were you chasing Bigfoot with a Viking sword?

Ouch! You try and take care the best you can Dahlia. We'll be thinking of you.

Hope all goes well and a quick recovery!

Marine I like the way to think.
I was coming down metal stairs at my local whole foods, and slipped off the last 2. Steel steps+ concrete floor+ rain = dislocation, fractures and a break.
Hmmm I tackled a train, Aha! I looked at Chuck Norris funny... Let's get a better story!

Wow so sorry for your injury. A prayer for you fast recovery.

I broke the femur in half just above the fake knee, then spiral fracture from knee to hip. Five hour rebuild, eighteen inch steel plate, thirteen screws, three steel zip ties. Month in the hospital, five months relearning to walk. I don't do stuff halfway. My right leg xrays now resemble the Eiffel Tower.

Best of luck, hope your surgery and recovery are much quicker.

Old brass, hubby approves your story!

I'm investing in steel!

Let me help.

You are an ex-Texas Ranger, the first woman to wear the badge. You were pushing a big herd north to Montana, and out scouting one day you came across a herd of buffalo. You decided to chase them just for the fun of it, because one day there won't be any buffalo left to chase, when over the first hill you came across a little band of Sioux warriors. After they shot some arrows into your leg, you outran them on your horse to a small gulley where you took cover. There was a fierce firefight and during the night the Sioux finally gave up and left taking your horse with them. Next morning you crawled out of the dirt bank where you made your last stand, pulled the arrows out and walked 40 miles to town using your Henry rifle as a crutch.

Totally believable, and would make a great movie I think.

That's a good one with my Texan blood I became filled with pride! YEEE HAW!!!!
