    Wow, that is terrible. With everything else and now the fall and all the breaks. I do wish there was something we could do for you, besides praying.  The break to the pelvic and be the worst and very painful. Thoughts and prayers Candi.

    Falling

     

    Sorry to hear about the fall but glad you are doing well now. I fell almost 8 feet down a hill back in February, I was walking with my walking stick and seen something at the bottom of the hill. When I tried to go down to see what it was my walking stick hit a soft spot and both it and me went rolling to the bottom. One of Gods angels must have also been walking with me because how I fell, I did not hurt or brake anything.

    Candi,

     

    I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I forbid you from scary stairs.

     

    Hope your recovery is good with much better times ahead.

     

    Be careful,

     

    Matt

    What a nightmare to deal with.  I empathize with you about the pneumonia.  I had a bout of it in January and then early March before my surgery.  Hope you continue to make progress and have a good spell soon. So not fair. Since my surgery, I've been going down the stairs like an old lady, holding on to the rails, a step at a time.  And it's because a doctor recently fell down some basement stairs and died!
