As always, happy to hear from you, but sorry you've had a long and painful recovery. Thanks to your cousin for transcribing, and sincere wishes for your Merry Christmas and pain-free New Year.
Good grief! I know two people that have had that surgery, and it's a slow road back.
They both complained mainly about sleeping in a recliner.
I remember visiting Monticello and reading that Jefferson's preferred sleeping position was that,
to keep "dark humours" away from his head. No thanks;)
Four years back I had a Grade 3 shoulder separation, that I'd got after falling while running in a farm field with Sophie. My foot lodged perfectly in a same sized dried tractor tread, and I went down like the tall tree that I am. What was humourous about it was going in for second consult with xrays at the local hospital to see if surgery was warranted. The surgeon said no, not warranted, but you're going straight to emerg. I was put in a wheelchair and pushed a city block by a tiny 70ish volunteer woman.
I'd punctured my lung and it was slowly filling with more and more fluid!
They collapsed the lung, drained it, then let it fill properly again....a procedure developed by the local doctor Norman Bethune....who became a folk hero in China when he accompanied Mao Zedong on his long march....fascinating man played by Donald Sutherland in the film Bethune: the Making of a
Hero.
Anyway....Very best to you and your family and a Merry Christmas to all!
Wishing you all the very best, JM, and lots of LOVE. You are strong! We miss you! Glad to hear you’re recovering. It’s nice to know you are surrounded by loved ones as you progress through this in your beautiful created community. Perhaps a story about that soon?
Good to see you back here. And yes, I had been wondering about your absence. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You handled it much the same as I would have. No great belief nor faith in the medical establishment.
Wishing you well as you continue your recovery. I know you are in good hands with all of your family near. Happy Winter Solstice, and the coming new year. All the best to you, JM.
