Sorry friends.
I got into some trouble.
A bad PTSD episode was triggered by a psychiatric assessment where I did my best to be positive and not allow myself to be triggered. Yea, right.
Despite the fact the doctor was pleasant and helpful I was obviously kidding myself. Bizarre days and nights followed.
Things got worse on Sunday morning. I stood up and pain shocked me. I lost consciousness, fell and broke the ankle of my good leg. So now I have two legs that are injured.
Thank God for my loving husband, daughters and sons in law. They have been taking good care of me.
I miss reading your posts but even writing this is major for me. Please take care of yourselves and pray for my husband, Hamlin. Poor guy.
**Update**
After a second trip to another emergency room (as suggested by a kind Doctor who made a house visit to see me), it was discovered that my original diagnosis was inaccurate. To make matters worse, the original hospital sent me home with the wrong cast. The cast they gave me did not provide the appropriate support, it was only causing me more pain.
I’d like to thank the kind folks at Bowmanville Hospital emergency room. They made it a priority to make me feel comfortable and they gave me the right cast. I’m hopeful that the pain will begin to subside.
Thank you all for all your love and support. I’m so grateful.
Cynthia

Oh Cynthia, I am so sorry. I am sending you love and light and hoping you are feeling better with each passing moment. Some wise words/an affirmation from Louise Hay, “My healing is already in progress.”
One step at a time, my friend.

Oh Dear! Briskly sitting it is.
Praying for you and most importantly, for your doctors to find the correct diagnosis.
So very, very sorry! Oh, my! May the healing begin and the pain subside.
Dear Cynthia, sending you good energy, holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh Cynthia! My heart aches for you and your leg – what a tumultuous, trying time you’ve been through. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the speediest of recoveries, and a salve for the pain in the meantime.
Oh my gosh!! I am so sorry to hear all of this…a nightmare for sure. I will be praying for a quick recovery not just for the bones but for your mind to be at peace after such a stressful situation.
Poor you Cynthia. I hope you make a quick recovery. I know that the first couple of days after putting in a cast it can be still very painful, but hopefully pain will ease. Our health is so important to us. Sending lots of get well wishes.
Oh, no! NO! That’s awful–I am so sorry, Cynthia–let your family take care of you . . .
Thanks Kerry and all kind friends. Sorry can’t reply to each of your kind messages but I do greatly appreciate. Don’t stop messages The depression is miserable. And back to guilt over my poor husband who is working so hard.
I can finally see parts of garden. Sun shining. Send funny jokes please and my best wishes to you all.
As someone who managed to get themselves a gentle tap from a car a year or two back and knackered ‘the good knee’ please accept my smoothy mwahahaaaaargh or even sympathy (blimey auto correct is on form tonight). For what is worth you will cope and if all be ok even if you find it hard to believe now. Absolutely best of luck with everything : the broken leg and the ptsd. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take it easy and look after yourself. We will all be here when you are ready to come back.
All the best and god bless.

Cynthia, I’m so sorry this has happened. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now. We live fairly close by to each other so if there is anything you need please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My goodness, Cynthai! I’m so sorry to hear about all your troubles. I hope you heal very fast. Love, Yvonne
Hi Cynthia Hope the pain has subsided somewhat. Trust that you will be feeling better soon. Regards
Ouch! – Oscar
Oh dear Cynthia .. so sorry to hear this! Thinking of you both .. big hugs
So sorry to hear Cynthia! You must feel like you’re being knocked down constantly. Hush. It makes me think of this verse: “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed……so then, death is at work in us, but LIFE is at work in You.” 2 Corinthians 4:8.
I pray somewhere in the midst of all this, you seek God’s presence; and He continue to surround you with love; strength and resources to be healthy again.
Many thanks Joanne for this.
Thank you very much.
So sorry Cynthia and thank goodness you have now been properly treated. Get better soon and sending love and hugs ♥
So sorry! But relieved you are surrounded by lots of love and very good care. 🤕
Sending you love and healing thoughts, dear Cynthia. ❤
So sorry to hear this happened to you! I hope you’re feeling better.
Oh my… I cannot imagine the agony you must have been in both physically and mentally. I do hope you are recovering well by now, Cynthia. You were doing so well… I will be sending positive thoughts your way. Thank God you have such a loving and understanding family around you.
Oh, Cynthia, I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties. I’ll be praying that you find comfort and have a speedy recovery along with prayers for your family. God bless you.
Thank you very much Linda. Very kind of you.
