Long time, no post...

...and really, no excuse for it, except that I've had nothing interesting to say. Have been off work these past six weeks, due to a broken left foot (the foot was fractured in 3 different places) and sacrum, and a badly sprained right ankle sustained in a ground-level fall in mid-February. Have been completely cooped up, 24/7 (except for Doc appointments, and the few times that my brother has taken pity on me and had me over to his house to hang out for the evening), in the house with my retired husband, who has scarcely left my side. Since I tend to have what little "peace and quiet" time I DO have while at work, these weeks have been frustrating. At 55, I'd normally have been too young to have sustained fractures from a ground-level fall, but I've found that chemo-induced osteoporosis is a real bitch! Am now on meds for the osteoporosis, along with my regular meds.
But the good news is this! My repeat x-rays show that I'm healing well, without complications. While the sprained right ankle is still giving me pain and remains a bit unstable, Doc is convinced that it can be strengthened with physical therapy. The broken left foot is giving me no pain whatsoever. Finally, after all these weeks, I've been cleared to return to work, beginning next week, without restriction! I'm so relieved, because when I haven't been irritated, I've been bored as Hell! So, lucky me...I may eventually have another "work rant" composed within the next few weeks. Not much else to say. As I previously indicated, I've been boring as Hell, recently. Hopefully, that's about to change
