Thanks, y'all, for the good wishes. Y'all are the best! I'm feelin' the good vibes through the airwaves.

The ortho guy couldn't see me today, but I got a wheelchair and a walker. I'll see him Monday, I think.

Also bf was behaving like an a$$hole this morning. He had to take his mom to chemo and also close on a very big land purchase (the 50 acres next to mine in the country), and yeah, that was a lot on his plate, BUT when he's under stress, he feels that gives him a right to be rude.

Days like this I want to bail... especially when it's a day when SOOO many total strangers treat you like a princess. The manager of the practice (primary care doc, not ortho) even bought my lunch today just for the heck of it. I noticed this when I used to take my late H places in the wheelchair-- people are so kind and thoughtful. Everyone I encountered was so nice... why is my SO such a jerk? Yeah, yeah, he's under a lot of stress... but that's no excuse to be hateful to me, especially when I'm sitting there with a broken ankle.

I'm such an idiot for sticking with him for so long... what will it take to make me see the light and dump him? And now he's my neighbor. The property has a garage on it. Some VERY nice people bought it and put in a well and electricity, and were getting ready to build a house, but then the guy got laid off and had to sell it in a hurry. So my bf talked to his mom and they decided to buy it. It's a fantastic investment. Development is coming my way, alas, but by the time I need the $$$ for the nursing home, my property will be worth a fortune. I only have 13 acres. His 50 acres is going to go through the roof.

Glad you're doing well, Lou. We do need a thread entitled "Sick Call." LOL!
