Getting back to my life

It's now been two months since my car accident. Y'know, the one where I broke my neck and had a hairline fracture of my left ankle. Also had a fractured rib.

Patient Progress: I'm now walking with a cane. Graduated from wearing an Ace bandage over my ankle and a too-large boot. Different modes of mobility had been a wheelchair, and a rollator*, to a cane. I think I'll be able to walk unassisted within a week or two.

Went from therapy in a rehab center, to home-based. I'm waiting for an appointment to start therapy at an outpatient facility.

There's still a bump at the back of my neck, but it's healing nicely. Used to be a freakish sight.

Other Progress:  I bought a new car and I'm reacquainting myself with all the outings I once enjoyed.

  • One Monday a month - political party
  • Wednesday Scrabble games
  • Thursdays from 1 to 3pm -  "Telling Our Stories" in Selma
  • One Thursday per month, 10 -12 meet my Critique Group
  • One Thursday per month, 6 to 8pm - the Triangle Writers Group meeting
  • First and Fourth Fridays, 6 to 8pm - Open Mics (Benson, Selma)
  • Ad hoc events for writers to promote their works 
  • Saturdays from 11 to 1 - meet with my accountability partner
  • Spooky has finally forgiven my absence and once again uses the litter box (Yippee!)
  •   


    *A rollator is like a wheeled walker with a storage seat and a set of brakes
