OK, so the pain pills made me write the above. Now, almost to the four week mark and my PT said 6 months to a year…… It doesn’t matter whether it was an incident or an accident, just wish it wouldn’t have happened. This is something I wish on no one! It’s a Pain in the Neck (or leg), don’t care if it is defined as incident or accident. Still Dazed and Confused! But I will thank all at the Antlers that drove me to the Head PT clinic and Dan for taking my luggage down to the front desk, my last day, and I never ask for help with luggage. Most of all and Chris knows, the person who “went beyond the call of duty” was Gladys. Bless her kind soul when she stepped out of a unit to help me in my unit and asked to help me with anything. My sister had left and I was left for two days by myself after the surgery and she touched my heart with her concern and care. Hoping to ski again but not for a year…. It’s a powder day here at home and I can’t even roll in it with the dog. So sad…….. for her AND me.

So I agree. I now know what the difference is between an accident and an incident. I created an incident today. Thank you for distinguishing between the two Maura! Loved the massage I got on the ride down on the sled all bundled up like a newborn baby! Bumpity, bump, bump! Yee-haw! Thank you Dan at the front desk for the ride home from VVMC!

Being in the medical profession a new “idea” or diagnosis is now being integrated into the community. Accidents are no longer….they are now called incidents. But most of us all know that a little knowledge gets us a long way and a lot of knowledge gets us a longer way. We must continue to learn and experience so we can be wiser and more prepared for our next incident/accident.
