After two and a half months of being bound to my bed, and not in a fun way, Lisa and I ventured out of the house three times this week. While it might not seem like much to someone who can stand up and walk to the kitchen, it was a big deal for us.
When we built our house ten years ago, we built a ramp from our front door to the car. Our house itself is on one level but we live on a steep hill with parking up top.
In true Mexican style, the ramp was built way too steep and not according to any regulations. Pushing my walker up it this week took strength and self control not to laugh.
Our three outings were 1) to the doctor.
2) A birthday party and…
3) An hour drive to the coast to meet up with friends who were visiting Mexico by cruise ship.
So to say we are tired is an understatement. The doctor released me to begin putting weight on my leg in a week. Light at the end of the tunnel.
DOS TORTAS

Hi Alex -oh my, dear Alex:
What a time you have had…I am astounded with your challenge and AND with your humor and resilience : way to go!! How fun to see friends…and how strong of you to man the steps and get “out”: you are my heroine ! I will come and visit…bring goodies? Anything? As soon as we are reasonably settled. I am in some pain myself (more on that if we ever want to talk about it..) but hopefully will be in Bacalar the night, late,, of the 15th…
The dinner photo looks so fun! Makes me miss so many of you…😊
All my love to you, Lisa and Alice (for now, have a thousand things to do today) xo L

Hmmm. Not a hip fracture? Quite extensive surgery. Glad you’re healing.

No hip, femur, multiple breaks. Crappy bones.

Yeah, mine too. Been taking Prolia for two years. Will know in February with next Dexa if it’s actually doing anything.
