Thanks again-I've already emotionally forgot that day. Im still astounded though-just how bad the ER was in every way possible.

The arm is supposed to be healed by 5/31 but i think im behind schedule a bit. I can do most everything with it (badly) but i cant lift more than a bag with 2 water bottles in it and some pain continues. It was brutal in the beginning - living alone- and not even being able to open a water bottle. Happy I am well past that now.

If you finish reading my stories here and like them- there are a few more at
