L:  Mixed berry smoothie
    Chicken
    Salad
D:  Frozen pineapple

Thanks for keeping us updated.  I have thought about Madie off and on all day. My husbands sister broke her hip about 6 mos ago. She would not work with the Drs. on trying to walk again. She said it hurt so bad. So now she is in a wheel chair for the rest of her life. It did not have to be this way. She is so stuborn, she just won't do it if there is a little pain.  Too bad.....So important to try to learn to walk again, If you don't you will get stiff.

It is amazing, they had Madie up on her feet within 3 hours after surgery.  Yesterday she made it over to the sink to wash her face.  She is determined to get out as soon as possible so will push herself to be walking asap.

Saturday:

B:  Banana
L:  Refried beans w/ eggs
    Pork
D:  Banana
    Frozen pineapple & watermelon

So glad Madie is tough and stubborn!!!    She should do well.  Pam

It's the stubborn ones that usually do well after surgery. They seem to want to shock the doctors by proving them wrong. I had a friend who's very stubborn husband had been in a horrific car accident while driving without his seatbelt. He ended up going through the windshield and laid there on the pavement with a massive open brain injury (it should have killed him). The doctors told my girlfriend that he would remain in a coma for the rest of his life (which wasn't going to be very long according to them). Two months later after being sent to a long term acute care facility (a hospital is considered to be a short term acute care facility), he was awake, walking and talking as if nothing had ever happened. Of course, I KNOW that God had a lot to do with that...we were all praying for his recovery....BIG TIME!

Madie has been a fighter of her health all the years I have known her.  She has MS and has taken up horse riding to keep her legs strong and to help her balance.  Years ago she broke her femur and it took awhile to heal but it always amazed me how well she did.  You are right about stubborn people being the fastest healers because they push through all that pain knowing the results will be worth it.

I read how horseback riding helped MS!  That is great that she's done that.

[MsHeirloom]

I never would have considered riding a horse 60# ago.  I would have felt too sorry for the horse !  Pam

[wendysgoodnews]

You are so funny Pam
Never to late to start.  Madie is 71 yrs old and it has helped so  much.  She was with walker before riding horses and now was walking without any assistance.  Now I wonder if she shouldn't have at least used a cane for these dizzy spells but then maybe that wouldn't have helped who knows.  She is pushing to get to walking to get back on her horse again.
