Peppermint Pattie's Condition

[DanTheMan]

Hey Patti, I just read the latest postings on this thread. Glad to hear you're up around again (in a fashion, anyway)

[pmint patti]

I went out Friday night and did not wear my neck brace....dumb!
I looked down at my shoes and felt this 'electric shock' from my neck, thru my body and down my legs. I happened four times.
My friend took me right home, and I'm wearing this cumbersome neck brace all the time now. ( Again.)
I hate the neck brace...and MAN, is it hot underneath this brace, especially now, that we're experiencing this heat wave, it's even worse.

Curt, I live the first exit south of Sedona. It's a little more normal here, I mean, not everyone wants to read your palm, or tell your fortune (for a price).

My friend lost his house and is in the middle of moving out (got a big storage shed) and is moving in with me. His name is Bob, and he was the one who told you (on site) about my truck crash.

I love you all and miss you too.

Hi Patti, I'm glad things are improving. An increase in pain is your body's way of telling you you're pushing too hard. Use the pain to guide your recovery. A small amount of pain,once in a while,let's you know you're aggressively trying to recover. BIG pain means you're going too fast. Be aware of the pain and don't bury it in meds (save them for recreational purposes later). Thanks for your inspiration. RJ

I was supposed to go to the Casino tonight.
I have no oney to gamble, but we were going to the Lounge, because the have a great Band tonight...
I would be dancing with a large neck brace. ...That's one way to get attention, I guess....

I got really tired, and stayed home, The band started at 9pm...Guess I can't be the party girl I was, at least, not for awhile.

I've no car...big bummer. Good thing I like my house so much, huh?

A bunch of flowers took over my veggie garden...kinda ... But, it is quite beautiful, if you like flowers.

I'm doing as good as can be expected. I even use the old lady motor carts in the grocery store.

Be good and careful!
Love, pmint

Good to see you back at it. You're one tough chick. Keep on the healing path..maybe see you soon when it cools down a bit.

I assume they've lowered, stretched, hot-rodded, and painted one hot pink for you, right? ...and you're ATGATT in aisle 6?

Feel better, Girlfriend!

[pmint patti]

Yeah Bill,
It would be nice when to see you again.
Are you bringing your wife this time?

Steve,
No they didn't !!! ...It's not like I'm in Chicago,where everyone knows me !
BTW: What does ATGATT mean? You're dealing with Gramma here...

Thank you both. pmint

Wife? You looking for a girl friend? She wont go via bike...maybe, just maybe.

[dueller]

Thank you for all the nice things you, (especially those who not too famliar with me ) said to me..

...AND MY FAST, EXCELLENT, REHABILITATION RECOVERY, is just as miraculous as the fact they saved my life at all, in that near-fatal crash...
People I meet everyday are astounded that I'm getting around so good after, and so soon. It happened June 3rd, that's not that log ago.

I think that in a month or two, the right ankle that I destroyed will be strong enought to hold up my bike...
Gotta contact Ray.

I truly love my GSR Family....Hope I can make it to a reunion again soon, but, I'm afraid for most of us $$$ is going to be in short supply for a while..

Thanks for sharing!

(I'm trying to be more active on the GSR, but, my energy drains quicker than it used to. ) I'm really trying to be better...

Sorry for any mispellings, I can't find spell check !!!

June 3rd??? How dare you get hurt on my birthday!! LOL. Glad to hear recovering fast. Didn't see this thread till now!

Hi,
I went to the doctor who repaired my spinal cord and fixed my broken neck, yesterday. He said my x-rays looked very good and I do not have to wear that awful collar any more.
He wanted to shake my hand, and I said, "You saved my life. There's no way your leaving this room before I get a hug." So we hugged and I thanked him for going to school.
He smiled and said, " I paid attention too!" How do you thank a complete stranger who saved your life?
So, I'm celebrating... Bob and I ate steak tonight. It felt really good and tasted even better !

I still have to go to physical therapy for neck exercises...( I still need to go for my hand and foot, too...)
Thanks for all the love, prayers and invisible hugs you've all sent. I feel them, honest.
Gramma Loves You !!!

Glad things are improving, Patti! Time to get your Chicago connections to send you a proper Hot Rod Store Scooter!

Hope it isn't morbid of me but Curious George was my favorite book as a kid I am told. What happened to put you vehicleless and on the mend?? I heard something about a dually truck that was demolished?? It wasn't a Dodge was it?? You know that the adage if can't Dodge it Ram it is JUST an adage right????

If I ever get back out there... I will stop in and say Hi...
