    believe me I want endure the pain of Therapy, if it means I can walk and drive again.  on a note of levity I am having withdrawal symptoms from not playing EnB for so long and just sitting/laying here in bed,

     

    I should be discharged tomorrow and be home tomorrow evening, ($ hour drive each way to and from hospital (yes I do live in the boonies in California and quite away from the "big" cities.  

     

    I will try to get in game at least in the GM Chat Tool to and the GMTools to work any tickets that are in the cue   

     

    **************Beyond this point may cause stomach upset and revulsion  pictures of my leg after several day when they changed the dressings,  leg2.

    Leg 1 was taken this morning when doctor came and removed the last drain not far up my leg from my ankle the top of the scar will be just above the right knee, as you can see when people in my family do things we tend to go overboard and go for r the max critical  form the damage,  lol.   see you all soon.

    *****Update******  Well the took all of the IV lines and catheter out so now I can get up and hobble around to building before I can leave. I am supposed to be discharged either Sunday or Monday so I could be in game either Monday or Tuesday.  for the next few weeks my game time will be limited to a few hours a day but I will be working tickets first. but as I recover more I'll spend more time in game,  so see you all in a few days.

    wish I had a working laptop  here I am confined to the bed all day and night long and have a great opportunity to play the game for long periods.  

     

    on a side note I might be home Sunday,  Physical therapist had me get off bed into my wheelchair had drive around the build staying on this floor. primarily to judge my upper arm movement and strength. tomorrow is to make it to the door and back to the bed using the walker.  the next day walking (hobbling) from bad to the nurses station and back with the nurse bringing the IV stand and another with my wheel chair if I have to stop and rest, if I do well they probably move my check time sooner,  once the unplug my IV epidural from my back  and the IV's from my arms (3)  I will be one more step checked off to leave,   

     

    I will check tickets after I get home  and get adjusted and rest from the trip home  I am in a brace to keep my leg straight for 6 weeks, because of this I have to sit in the back seat with my leg across the seat, we all know how the floor space is in cars made in the last 20 years,   all I can say back seat in my car not at all comfortable.  there is no way that  am able to get in to the front seat I would have to recline the seat and sit on the head rest for the trip with my leg hanging over the end of the seat and against the glove boxes, LOL, well that all for this update.

    thanks guys.

     

    ******UPDATE******* 

    I got wheeled down to surgery at 530 am,  they did an epidural for the pain, plugged in the machines transferred me to the surgical table and cavemen the anesthetic which was just after 8 am I looked up at the clock,  I woke up around 7pm  my knee is extremely painful,wrapped tightly  and reached to keep it aligned over all doing good  Doctors said about a week to go before I go home  and no weight bearing on my right foot,  in  about 6 weeks I should be start weight bearing and Walking using my right leg and foot.  this hospital is nice  only problem I have had is at night its either boiler room hot  or freezing cold, I really wished I could have something more than an android tablet.

     

    so surgery went well, recovery is happening and boredom Has started to set in primarily due the pain meds,  time for a nap.

    *************** UPDATE**************

    the doctors office called me this morning to tell me the Biopsy results came in,  It is as I feared,   the cyst/tumor that weakened my knee joint bones so when I fell on they fractured,  is Cancer, possibly a particle from my kidney cancer (2010) that remained in the shadows until it was found when i fractured my knee,  So the plan is I will be resting at home until the 24th when i go check-in and do all of the pre-surgery labs and tests. with going in to surgery ay 5 am on the 25th.  with me being there approximately 2 weeks, then home to recover and sleep from the pain meds. LOL.

    ********* UPDATE************

     

    well I am home now after 6 days confined to a bed at the UCSF orthopedic/oncology hospital,  I have ultrasounds of both legs, a CT scan of legs, A Biopsy of my right knee, waiting for the lab results, probably gave a quart of blood for the lab vampires. and finally Friday night got an MRI  was waiting since Tuesday after the biopsy to get,'

    now my surgery has been scheduled for  April 25th showtime at 5 am,  which means I have to go back on the 24th and check in and sleep there the night before the surgery, the surgeon said I am first inline  and she will be replacing my whole knee joint,  bottom of thigh bone and top of Tibia, move a couple of muscles to hold my patella in place, she said I literally destroyed my knee when I tripped and fell,   I tried to log in on my win 11 laptop but didn't have enough of a signal to connect So I could not connect or get online. now that I am home I'll try and be online as much as I can be.

    correct Birdfarm.

     

    **** UPDATE *****  had an MRI last Thursday  had an appointment with Orthopedic surgeon to day, he said my knee is bad and he could fix it, if, it were not for the preset of a tumor in the area of the damage and extending in the joint area, he going to refer me to the UCSF orthopedic oncologist in San Francisco,  Since I currently can not drive and my wife is a very nervous driver I will need to find an alternate way to get to the appointment and arrange for possible multiple over night stays, we shall see,   I am in lots of pain  my right hip hurts I think mostly from the effort of holding my right leg up a little bit off the floor when I am crutches and cant put any weight on leg,  and from sleeping in weird positions so the I can curl up in a position that's mostly comfortable and is not putting weight or side to side movement on my knee joint,  an almost impossible task, I will post more when I have more to post.

    • UPDATE     I saw the orthopedic surgeon  to day  he's ordered a replacement Knee joint   it appears I had an unknown issue in my right knee  (  a cyst kind of like a sinkhole on the top of my tibia, he said sooner or later it would have fractured so when I fell on my knees I caused it to fracture and also caused more damage,  so it not an easy fix  but I will get a new knee out of it, this will possibly as early as this coming Monday  Monday morning I have my pre surgery consultation and will find out more,  I will post more Monday if I am able.

    1. A couple weeks ago I tripped and fell on my right knee,  What I didn't know is that I fractured my knee,  on Sunday while in the shower  I shift my weight from my left foot to my right foot while turning around  and almost passed out from pain,   on Tuesday I was at my allergy doctor  and as I was going from pavement to raised sidewalk, I re-injured it, fell across the hood of my car in pain, using words I learned while in the navy,  and a few other languages to vent my pain,   I'm lucky my Primary care physician is in the same parking lot.  I hobbled in on crutches, the receptionist placed my in the first free spot  available to be seen, the doctor listened to my description of the events  made an order for x-rays, which I immediately went and got, the staff at outpatient pavilion at local hospital expedited my path through the check in procedures as they could see me in pain,  got the x-rays,  the results came back to day I had a follow-up with my primary care doctor today, he read the results to me  I had fractured my knee severely and will most likely need corrective surgery and a cast (joy of joys), but for the time being I am stuck in bed with pillows under my leg to hold it in a natural rest position, I cant get in the game for a bit,  I am working updating a Laptop that I haven't used for a few years so  that I can try and at least get any gm help tickets signed off and chat in game,    well that's all for now   more later when I have an update.

    not that I know of, but if you use the net-7.org website signed for the account you can see all of your avatars and all of the items in your cargo and vault,  it also lists all of the items under recipes that you can build.  if unsure if you can build an item use the database search and set the the "show only items..." to item i can build, if any of your avatars can build the item it will show their names

    I run win 11 after migrating from win 10,  I have rarely had any issues installing and running the game  everything runs the way its supposed to on my systems, So I am no sure what to say that could help you,  we'll have to get more systems knowledgeable than me on this issue.
