UPDATE

I am rapidly recovering from the effects of my fall. There is still some soreness in my legs, but the pain is pretty much gone from my ribs. I had been curious why my legs had been so badly bruised because I didn’t think they had been directly involved in the fall. My doctor tells me that the bruises are caused by the blood from the internal bleeding settling in my legs. Good old gravity at work. Nonetheless is was quite painful and I am very grateful that I am now much more comfortable and able to get around without grimacing. The really good news is that I had an appointment with my oncologist on Tuesday and the cancer in my lung is essentially gone and there is no sign of growth. Because of the fall and the issues with my heart my doctor said, “I am not used to having one of my patients whose cancer is the third or fourth most serious thing they have to deal with.” So that part is really good and if I can stay away from any new setbacks I will be in great shape.
