Timelies all!
Trying to type around a cat...
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Bennett, that's an excellent question—I had no idea that would even be an option!? I'll have to look into it after my next appointment (in a month—they said I should be trying to move the ankle on my own but no PT yet). I did tell my parents I'm not coming home for Christmas, even though they are planning to move in the spring and sell my childhood home. That feels weird, but not devastating or anything.
Also, how can I have a terrible headache when I'm on So Much Tylenol? ,synergy it doesn't actually do anything for my pain, hmmm?

Because books.
Kat, that is nice to hear! I can send you a copy for her (I think, let me make sure I have copies). Shoot me your new address via email? Or FB message?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Meara, the important thing to remember when they ask is that you are completely homebound, and unable to go to places for things. Not the occasional dinner, not meeting for work, not anything. There can be an exception for church, but that's often it.

Ugh. That's ridiculous, Debet! Just because a friend can drive me to dinner doesn't mean I can get to a daytime PT appointment, or count on a friend every week or whatever. But I'll keep that in mind.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It absolutely is. They try to make a bright line, but it mostly just forces people to lie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What Debet said. You don't have family nearby and you have no idea how you would possibly get to PT etc.

meara - In my case the doctor's office made the arrangements with the insurance, so you might see if your doctor can make it clear to them that you're house bound, no family nearby, etc. I suspect insurance will believe doctors offices more than their actual customers.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There are CBD creams and patches for topical use, and they are fantastic.
I am so annoyed, because the CBD cream that worked for my intractable hip pain also caused my skin to peel off! I gave it to my mom. It was really helpful in terms of pain, though...

Because books.
Kat, you have a FB message.
