Hi all. Just typing to let you all know my absence is not voluntary. 2Fractured ankles, 1 fractured tibia, 1 right knee completely gone, left foot is still an unknwn save, the swelling has to go away in order for the docs to make any sense of it all. Brain bleed. Have had 3 surgeries on right leg/knee. I am now in a rehab center waiting for left leg to be less swollen and start surgeries on that leg. Well, other than feeling totally useless, down and depressed, all is ok. -- Chip -----------http://www.penmanchip.com-----------------Micah 6:8 |
