I spent most of the morning catching up on lactnet digests and I thought I'd let the group know what's happening with me. Someone said it may be the first LC related work injury in history. On Feb. 3rd, I was helping a mom latch her baby on. The older child became upset that I was touching his baby sister. I'm still not sure how it happened but the toddler wrapped his legs around my bad leg and dad tried to pull him off. The next thing I knew I was on the floor! I haven't been back to work since. This incident was the straw that broke the camel's back. My prosthesis is ruined. I am scheduled for my 4th total hip revision on April 23rd. They will be replacing only the socket component but I almost died from this same surgery 4 years ago. (Old timers will remember the 22 units of blood and the endless body casts!) I am not looking forward to this but am thankful for all the email I have received. I am trapped in my bedroom and afraid to go out of the house because my hip dislocates so easily and am on tons of pain medication. Thank you for all the kind words, I'll keep you posted.
