You have and are prayed for and most of feel your pain and frustration. This business you are going through kind of scares me. Please, lets give this time for a good healing and no more standing on the top rung of ladders or sliding down the banister,,,, no matter how tempting it looks. :-) Harv

((((((((((((((((((Kate))))))))))))))))))))) I went through a similar, though not as mjor, disappointment with my wrist. I remember going home and crying - I'd been so looking forward to getting rid of that blasted pin that was rubbing against my radial nerve. I forget - how is the leg restrained? Any chance you can do more PT and/or water therapy just to help with the stir-craziness of this all, if nothing else? Isn't it funny how telling ourselves there are others who are worse off can help us feel a bit better? I suppose it helps us remember what IS good in our lives, even when we feel so down. -- Nann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive.
