THE REST OF THE STORY

friends and family... this is a post note to the story of my fall.... 2 weeks later cheryl'sUncle tom, who is head of the respiratory dept of the same hosp. heard about me not getting an xray. he came to the house and talked and got my story... the next thing I knew my own physican called and said Robin what would you like a picture of? so I got right in and got xrayed and they found a fracture of the 12th thorasic vertabre. ouch!!! a week later I had an appoi ntment with the boise imaging clinic.... There I had an hour in the MRI machine. and a short trip across the hall way. and climbed up on the table onto my stomach. an xray machine was in place and an IV was pumping happy juice into my veins. the DR. inserted a needle with the assistance of the xray machine to see where he was going and then placed a bone needel into the bone and into the fracture.. he inserted a polysester glue into the fracture line... I laid still for a few minutes and then got up and went home. I no longer had the intense pain of the fracture... but because of the posture or something else. I had a lot of pain in the muscles of the back... from my sholder blades to my hips..... and a week later the pain level has gone down to a4 or 3 and I am a happy camper. what a fun experience.... I havent written until now because I couldnt stand up or sit down for longer than 3 min.
Life is great I am not sure what I was supposed to learn from this experience... but not to stand on little stools... be patient with people in pain.//// and love and appreciate my husband for his care and concern during this time. I have spent the last few days and croched a rug... and have hand sewn 3 quilt blocks.... each one a different pattern.... and read a zillion books. Learn from me and remember that compassionate service never goes with out punishment. I love you all robin
