- Those motorized carts in the stores aren’t nearly as fun or as fast as they look, nor do they come close to fitting in a dressing room or between clothing racks.
- I will never again take for granted immersing my entire body in a bathtub. Or carrying my own coffee cup down a hall.
- Armpits bruise rather easily.
- Being unable to drive in rural America is a serious personal independence issue.
- So is having control of the TV remote.
- My next house will have no stairs at all. I swear it by all that is holy.
- I am eternally grateful that I am not a single parent.
- When you are crying from pain, hearing “It will be okay, Mommy, don’t worry” makes you cry more. But not from pain. And kisses from three-year-old boys are great analgesics.
- I was not born to sit still; it’s simply not a part of the programming.

Holy Moly! This is interfering with your coffee consumption?? By all that’s holy — NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 😉
Take care of yourself, at least you went out with a bang, right?
Well, that just sucks all around. Take care and get better soon!
i am so sorry that you are hurting! completely sucks. hope you get the hang of getting around soon and feel better fast!
(Sorry for the long delay in commenting lately. I’ve been reading, but commenting – well, that’s been at a minimum these days). However, I thought I’d pop into pass along my get well wishes.
At least try to milk it for something spectacular – preferably electronic?
You forgot #10:
It is nearly impossible to eat out by yourself. Buffet-style places are right out. Places where you have to go through a line to pay (certain steakhouses)won’t even think about carrying your tray unless you beg them to.
I agree with #1, though. It’s even worse when the battery dies while you’re on the other end of the store from the entrance.
