I'm back following a 2 month hospital stay as a result of a multi fractured upper left femur (leg and hip). I have completely limited mobility. Must use a walker but can only stand for a couple of minutes. I hoped for better mending after 11 weeks, but have to deal with extensive nerve damage. Not under any driving restrictions, but I haven't tried the car on for size. Access is easier than most cars, but I'm unable to bend in the necessary ways. I'd never giver much thought to the exact bodily processes needed to get in and out of a car. I've given lots of thought to my own new limits and frailty with age. I suddenly see a little old man in the mirror. I'll keep posting my progress and thoughts surrounding my status. Meanwhile, a thought for the day..... "Health is like money. We never have a true idea of it's value until we lose it." Josh Billing's - humorist
