Thank you, everyone.
Reading this slowly now that my phone is found, charged and I am recovering and off the heavy pain juice has been very warming for me.
I appreciate all of your good thoughts to the very fullest, believe me. In the immortal words of Bill & Ted, you are all most excellent.
To clarify what happened, one boy had developed a bad habit of pushing in the playground. While visiting FL I was holding baby girl at the top of a flight of stairs. I remember taking a step and tipping over, holding her close, bounce bounce then the cliché of waking up in hospital.
The guy who saw me take the quick way down said I foetal'd around her as I was doing my best homer simpson impersonation. It must have been pure instinct. She got off with just minor brusing.
I had a nasty knock to the head and two extremely minor spinal fractures as well as my right shoulder and right leg. Thankfully my bones are very strong after years of Ca and vit D supplimentation. Also, after two years of American food I am very well padded too.
It looks like I will be out of here very soon and back up north by hopefully comfy amtrak roomette.
Thankfully my medical insurance will cover everything but a little spare change, I am more fortunate than most in my situation.
Now, I have several pm's here I have to answer then my emails...
Thanks again, friends.
