Oh my gosh, Kevin! You poor thing!! That sounds just awful! I pray that you
will heal quickly! Don't worry about posting to the list. Just work on
getting better!! Glad to hear that you have some in-home nursing care!

Holy Cow, Kevin!! I’m sure sorry about your latest, enormous health challenge!
It sure let you know that you aren’t a kid anymore, huh?
Concentrate on getting well and healing your body so you can get back out there
to fight the big ones!

Subject: [vmfa] No fishing for me report
Hi all:
On June 13 I took a fall in our home. As it turned out, I broke my neck at C -
1 (yes, yikes!) and my shoulder which took two surgeries to put back together.
I'm now home wearing a body and neck brace that can't come off for three to six
months! Another yikes. Confined to bed, no fishing for awhile for me.
It was 14 days in the hospital and then 20 days in a rehab. facility. Home
since this past Sat., we have a hospital bed in our living room so I'm only a
few yards away from the bathroom, kitchen and my office. Email is short as it
is not easy for me to type with one arm in a sling.
Spouse Becky is also blind but is being a great nurse as is her retired guide
dog Jake. Our insurance is also paying for in-home nursing, physical therapy,
occupational therapy and a bathing aid so help some days of the week. We are
low income but not low enough for long-term care helpers funded by our Apple
Care (Medicaid in WA state).
I wish I could say I broke my neck hauling in the "big one" but...well, maybe
one day! LOL
Happy fishing, Kevin
