I feel as if I have been gone forever. Had another fall Saturday night and it about "did me in". I was okay until Sunday about 7 p.m. and then the pain hit. Went to emergency room and feel as if I had been kidnapped and put in a dungeon with the "other terrorist". The hospital was full and I (alone with other poor souls went into what they call observation. My room was about 10 foot square - no windows, no bathroom. I did have a phone, but no "welcoming" booklet with all the number I would need. I was on iv's and heart monitors, and the rest must have been restraints to keep me from escaping. What a wonder few days.

I am lucky, with a bump on the head and bruises all over, I am lucky, I didn't have bleeding in the brain. (so the Neurologist told me.)

My pain is almost unbearable, but the medication isn't handling it.

My family doctor doesn't know about all this. I went in thru the emergency room and they assigned me a doctor I don't even know. This is one of our best hospitals and my experience before was wonderful. Getting tires and a bit dull - see you later. Nenah
