Tsu suffered a hip fracture after slipping on gravel in a hospital parking lot, requiring immediate surgery. She is expected to undergo surgery tonight and return home the following day. The injury will keep her incapacitated for about six weeks, disrupting her plans for the Country Fair. Tsu's recovery will involve using a walker and managing pain with medication, including blood thinner injections. Despite the seriousness of her injury, she maintains a light-hearted attitude about her situation, joking about her new mobility aid and the need for care from her husband, Ivan. The community expresses their concern and support, wishing her a speedy recovery while sharing humorous banter about her predicament and the challenges of her recovery process.

Tsu is doing fine. She is bored and sick of the limitations, but we had a very nice evening at Integral's home. It was Tsu's first time out, other than doctor visits, since she fell, so she was way overdue for something besides kitty sitting.

Integral, don't you have a picture of Tsu's walker to post so that everyone can make fun of her?

Tsu loves fireworks, and Integral had PLENTY of those; the big ones!

Nice wheels, Tsu :wink: ! Glad you got out for a while...I feel for you, being cooped up for so long.

Thanks, Lisa! I did that on one of my first days home. Boredom is a terrible thing. Just LOOK at what can happen! :smile:

It was a lovely time at Integral's. Good steaks, good Mike's, good fireworks, and especially good company! It was just a darn GOOD TIME. :biggrin:

Now I'm back to reading. Good thing I love to read... :rolleyes: :smile: And playing with Little Tyke is always a great time killer. :biggrin: She has SO much energy!

Ivan, you need to make some flames for that walker! Love it!

fit it with a lazy V8.

I was actually wanting a couple of pinwheels taped to the front of it, so they'd spin as I cruised along. I often stick one of those (I get them out of our kiddie treasure chest) in my ponytail at work when it gets busy. Kids love it. :biggrin: Ivan's been too busy at work to run to Wally World for a bike horn and streamers. :cry: Oh well... My fuzzy scarves and my silky sequined purse of bling are true fashion statements. :biggrin:

Don't forget the English style bike-bell Tsu. When slow able-bodied people are holding you up, they need all the warnings you can give them. Tsu coming through!

No jokes from me. I don't want to feel that thing hitting me upside the head!

Love that cane moonbear! We need to get a matching set for the sisters! I see it has a picture of me on the bottom.

You really must market Walker Accessories, Tsu. Just think of it. Aging Boomers will all want to be stylish. You obviously have a flair for it. There's a whole industry waiting to happen! :smile:

And, Evo, as soon as I get my kevlar bubble suit, I'll be in business. No need for canes! Onwards, forwards ho! Damn the torpedoes and all of that.

Moonbear, how tall do you have to be to use that cane? It looks as if it was designed for The Friendly Giant. :biggrin:

Yeah, I was thinking that's going to be a little too tall for me, too! :biggrin:

Yeah, but it has a really good reach for whacking people. :biggrin: We could probably just cut off some of the bottom and adjust the accessories up accordingly.

It's the weekend of July 11-13. Here's the webpage again with more info.

Ok. We can blame it on your pain meds.

But every time I think about the fair, which is every day, I think about you.

Oh! And I found the vehicle I was referring to earlier that would get you around the fair: http://www.evalbum.com/104

A bit wide for the trails, but we could just shout, "Tsu coming through! Watch your toes! She'll whack you with her cane or frozen cod fish if you don't move! Tsu coming through!"

And it seats 8! We could get the whole PF sisterhood gimp gang loaded up, plus Ivan and Little Tyke. Though we'll have to put dark sunglasses on you, so we can claim she's your seeing eye kitty.:rolleyes:

Last but not least, love what you've done to your walker. Pure OCF.

I am a bit concerned, there weren't any tennis balls on the rear legs of that walker. :smile:

Now THAT's a vehicle! I especially liked the additional features and planned upgrades! :biggrin:

Additional features:
Remote control end table with satellite phone and lamp
Pops Wheelies!
Super Babe Magnet.
Semi Random Joystick Control (SRJC tm.)
Provides amusment park level performance.
Often used for towing broken race cars.

Planned Upgrades:
Monster stereo by "Wayland the Stereo God"
Twin Godzillas at 440V and 2600 amps each.
Liquid nitrogen motor cooling.
Interactive GPS moving map display on a 1600X1200 LCD.

Get me one of those and I'll make it to the fair, YET! :biggrin:

Last but not least, love what you've done to your walker. Pure OCF.

Thanks. :biggrin: Little Tyke has learned to climb it already!

Yeah. Well... you know... I'm cool but I guess I'm not quite THAT cool. :smile:

I think Tsu should have an airhorn attached to the walker.
<TOOOOT!>

OK, Tsu, do you really want to subject somebody to the fecal clean-up tasks that would be required after you pulled that one on a jumpy patient or co-worker. I can think of some people who could use such a wake-up, but just sayin'...

No problem. We just distribute coffee filters full of fresh ground coffee throughout the department, call a Code Brown, and housekeeping comes to save the day. They have the proper HazMat gear. :biggrin:
