Update!
Yesterday and today I'm walking with almost no limp! Hot showers make everything move better. Looks like I'll walk to work tomorrow! And, I'll call my mom today and finally, gently, tell her some of what happened. No way I was gonna say anything while I was still highly injured.
Meanwhile, before last week, I met two women who gave off gaydar, and then turned out to have male partners/bfs who play World of Warcraft. !
Then, this week I met a woman playing WoW who lives in Montreal, who's queer! What are the chances? She says there's a sizable queer community in WoWland, and damn, I'd like to meet them!
(Yes, I've been spending large chunks of my crip-time glued to the monitor, playing my fave computer game. I think sitting still actually helped me recover faster...)
Just learned: one friend is being told firmly by her doctor that her orthotics are too worn out to help her, and that she'll need leg surgery to correct the nerve damage she's feeling right now. (She's going for a second opinion.)
Another friend just got back from a week of hospital visits: a student she taught maybe 4 years ago got shot 18 times...and survived! Minus a kidney, with both legs broken...but alive, and NOT in a coma.
This is not a good time of year for health issues!
