I was doing better I thought. I had that spurt of energy on Sunday but since then I've been hurting a bit. It's the left leg that is bothering me more. Have pains in it at night. Those bruises are so deep and the muscle running in back is so sore and the ankle is so black and blue yet. Today my kneecap is hurting and I'm so afraid that knee will give out again.
I'm having aches in my rectum again also. I can't do the baking soda enemas since I fell and I'm afraid the tumor will start to grow again. That was feeling good for so long.
I have finally called my primary doctor so I can get some help. They are sending someone here on Friday to evaluate me to see what I might need. I want a wheelchair but afraid II might not be able to get out of it if it's too low. I also need something more to help me get up off the toilet before I end up breaking this cast. I also need lifeline so if I fall I can press a button from my wrist or neck. I really should have gotten one of those long ago.
I'm going to try not to need anyone to help in my apartment but if I need it I will get it. Maybe to help get some groceries and wash my left arm that I can't reach right now. I sure don't want anyone doing more than that. I hate my privacy invaded. I have been such a loner for so long.
My sister, Deb, stopped over on Monday. She picked up a few grocery items for me. She will be facing the same thing soon. She is having shoulder surgery om March 3rd. She won't like that at all. Hope her daughters will come up to help. Mine sure don't. She has no time. Thank heavens I have other sisters near if I need something. But I try not to ask for help if I don't need to. It's so hard being independant all my life, even with my disabilities from polio.I learned at a very young age that I needed to help myself and not depend on anyone.
I just hope this wrist heals good.
Till later.
Take care everyone.
Love,
Ginny
My cast that I'm wearing now.

Dear Ginny, I really don't know what to say, it is all so terribly unfair. Please take any help you can get, you deserve it! I wish I lived near you and could do something useful to help.
Hugs and Hugs and Hugs...
Dearest Ginny, please stay strong. I understand your reluctance to have anyone invade your privacy but as Jan says please take whatever assistance is available at a time that you need it. FAB.
Hi Tom. I'll be okay. I have contacted Home Health Care. Then if I need help with anything they will be here. Love you too.
Thanks Jan. I really appreciate you saying that. And especially when you have your own problems. I wish you well also. Big hugs!
Thanks so much Frank. I am asking for help finally. I appreciate you leaving a comment. I'm getting better at this one finger-left handed typing..Ha!
