Re: home from hospital

Dear Star,

I will continue to pray for you, my friend. Just stay off the hip for now & try to stifle any sneezes...cuz they are bad for a while....trust me on this.

Don't stay in one position too long try to get good sleep. I gave up the narcotics so it was safe to take my Lunesta. 'Couldn't sleep w/out it myself.

Anyway, every day it get's better & you'll be walking again soon. Then you can go shop for a box frame to show off that hardware!

Blessings to you,
Jackie

Only one night in the hospital with the hip surgery?

You are one tough cookie!

Hoping you feel better soon.

Re: home from hospital

hi starlight,
glad to hear you're home. hope you're taking good care of yourself.

laughed about the surgeon giving you the plate and screws. that's kinda cool, isn't it? i have two screws that used to be in my leg and i think it's neat to have them.

feel better soon.

Re: home from hospital

On the souvenir hardware topic:

I told my NS that I want to get his autograph on my films. Of course, he and everyone else thinks I'm nuts. I wanted to scan it in into a jpeg, get a photo print, and place it next to a picture of me standing in front of Stonehenge.

I liked the artististic juxtaposition of these stones still standing eons after the Druids erected them placed next to my hardware-fused-neck. To me, that's funny; to anyone else, that's sick.

But I wasn't "normal" before the surgery, anyway. Why start now?

Feel better, all!
