1. Do what's asked, when asked. 2. Know what is wanted so it won't be asked for 3. Make life easy 4. Showing any resistance to the above will not be tolerated. Easy enough

You're so sweet, Jeff. But I can't be that "kind" to myself. I responded poorly to a planet rushing at me.... hopefully I will increase my knowledge and skill so that it won't happen next time

I chose "smart" but I really didn't know if it's the "right" answer. I know the angles and forces and procedures for landing.... but yet I still have a broken ankle. I think the right answer would be the ability to learn and APPLY said knowledge. Just being smart doesn't give you incentive or skill.... those are separate qualities. But of all the options.... I would rather have intellect than be pretty or rich or charismatic

It is hard. And there are times when all you will want to say is "FUCK!" There will be days like this one... and "time will heal all wounds" is a lie. Life will continue and it will make you mad. HOW DARE the sun continue to rise! WHY are people still acting out the mundane events that really don't seem to matter.... But then... there will be days when you will see the sunlight just right or you feel a deep and wonderful peace. Those days will help. Make it through this hard part, get help if you need it, cry to your friends, yell at the night, don't hold it too deeply. . . . it might be harder to deal with 3-5 years down the road.

I'm sorry for your loss. May you have comfort during this time of pain and sorrow.

I had faith that you would "do the right thing" and that you were just wondering, in the back of your mind, "what if"? Nothing wrong with daydreams like that.... especially when it seems to be really happening. It just frustrating now that you have to go through so much effort to give them the money back.

I was flying a Sabre2 190. Winds were at about 10kts prior to manifesting. Came in with a pattern, but with my wingloading and the winds, I didn't have a lot of drive. I didn't come straight down, but at a steep enough angle that I just kinda watched the ground come up and didn't finish my flare (got it to my shoulders.... and then just kinda froze) According to others, it didn't look like it was a hard enough hit to cause considerable injury.... but I guess looks can be deceiving. I need to work on the flaring. I have an issue with the ground.... so I keep staring at it, which doesn't make it go away. I need to learn how to better control that fear and nervousness.

It REALLY is hard not to. Even in a non wt bearing, full leg cast, sometimes I find myself resting a little on it, mainly when in a sitting (non reclined) position. I am trying though. Thank you for such a detailed reply. I'm a bit discouraged though by the length of recovery.... not that I was going to put Boston Marathon on list of things to do in 2008.... but I am kinda hoping to drive and regain independence a bit sooner than later. And I actually was disappointed in myself when I decided to close my clinics this week (mainly cuz having my foot down for any longer than a few seconds causes QUITE A BIT of pain). But at least your post gives me a more reasonable timeframes that I can look at and not be too annoyed with myself if I'm not driving by Feb 1st. Thanks again!!

Kbordson will start the year out on the right foot. But.... in time, she will figure it all out and SAFELY get back in the sky again!

I actually have that movie in the dvd right now.... "arugula, it's a veg-a-table."
-
HEY! I was making some good arguments there on the benefits of the filter thing. I don't understand why you kept running away. It's not like I was crazy.... I mean crazy would be leaving the hospital on a motorcycle.

Honestly now.... he hasn't been an international arms dealer for several years now. Granted he still has the contacts....

The ankle is all kinds of shades of beautiful colors.

[shakes head] Jeff, you're so silly Thank you for making me laugh

Karen doesn't seem to be playing well with others. I try to play well with everyone... I was just having a bit more pain today, everyone else needs to play well and give hugs..... (or that might be the narcotics talking)

I was an L&D nurse in the Air Force for 4.5 yrs. I greatly enjoyed helping people and using my knowledge. The problem is that as a nurse... in some fields you can get in trouble for independent thinking. "Follow the dr.s orders" and don't "practice medicine" .... even this past week, when I was admitted for the lil ankle injury thing, the nurse was having a hard time getting orders for labs that needed to be done (since I was having surgery the next day, I needed a CBC and a Type and Screen, but she couldn't draw them until she had a direct order from the doc to do so.... even though she knew it had to be drawn and sent. Luckily, since it took them 7+ sticks for my IV, by the time they got the IV in, she had the order.... ) But it was that mentality of just following orders that I got most frustrated with.... which is one of the reasons why I went back to medical school.

I could think of worse trial mousie boy

HEY! I thought this was supposed to be a Karen gets a hug thread.... not a pissing contest? Where are my hugs?
-
What a beautiful family! May you three grow in love and compassion. May you teach this new spirit to live every moment and enjoy every experience. (ok... maybe not every one.... like broken ankles, he doesn't have to enjoy those)
-
I would love to.... but my last plane ride to Kansas City didn't seem to make things better... so I might avoid travel for a week or so Thanks for the offer though!
-
Thank you! Just feeling lonely.
-
It was VERY nice meeting you, dd!
-
I know that I've met more than 12! I think it's nice going to "strange" places and already having contacts and friends.

pretty well match with the middle (which is correct) but still have other traits as well. sometimes these match to pretty much everyone but you want to say "HEY ... that's me!"

My veins kinda suck. It took seven attempts before they got an IV the other night.... so the veins in the arms are kinda blown at present. (I really should have started my own IV... I generally have better luck)
