Good Morning,
Thanks for checking on me!
So sorry, you fell! You've fallen twice this month? Do you know why???
Karen, I know you worry about $, but you have to worry about yourself, too. When you fall, they reason for the falls and the consequences from a fall can be serious and MUST be checked out by a professional. I'm certainly no doctors, but maybe you should be using a cane or some kind of assistive walking device. I worry about you. Do you have medical insurance???
I'm OK. I am still suffering from pain, but I do not believe it has anything to do with my surgeries or my back, per se. I'm in PT and my therapist, who has known me for a while, says that because of the way I have been walking (for so long), I've weakened the muscles on one side of my body which makes my inappropriate walking a negative cycle. My legs are weak still weak and each morning I wake up in pain all over my body. Think it's the arthritis. It takes me about 1 hour after I awake to get myself moving. I'll be seeing a neurologist (as per my neurosurgeon's suggestion) at the end of January. Perhaps she'll be able to give me some idea of what she thinks is going on with my legs.
Anyway, let's try to have a happy holiday season!
Hope you had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Feel good and please get yourself checked out and get yourself a cane!

Warm thoughts,
Ronnie
