:Yes- they built me a new foot! Awful lookin' thing it was! All due to bunions. They broke all 5 toes and set them with pins & screws. They carved and sculpted till I had a foot I hadn't seen in at least 20 yrs.! Glad to have access to a surgeon so very highly skilled- had been turned down by 2 others (but I am thankful they were honest and sent me to someone who could do this very complicated
:surgery!). So, the nedresult will be that I will have a relatively normal, working foot- something I haven't had for many yrs.! Then it will be on to the other foot! Aaaaaahhh well.....
:OK- so there I was on the very same hospital room I had been in for 6 days. (I was transferred from one to the other after a wk.)
:I had my back to the rest of the room (my roommate had been freed a day or so before) and was watching the wretched TV. There was a tapping on the floor jst behind me that sounded like a cane or walking stick. It was a definite and deliberate tapping as if trying to get ones' attention. I glanced over my shoulder- nothing.
:So I thought it might be water or heating pipes in the floor. But if that was the case why hadn't I heard the noise before? We had had wicked weather all last wk. so the water or heat pipes would have been stressed out for several days. I should have heard them then, dontcha think? This tapping continued several more times- the number of taps was not consistant either. So, again I glanced over my shoulder. Nothing. But I got the definite feeling of a presence. Psychically I knew it was an elderly woman with gra hair tied in a bun at the back of her neck. She had on a dress and a dark colored sweater- the stockngs held up by elastic garters and black, high-heeled, laced up shoes. Her frame was slight and her face was thin but not gaunt or sickly lookng. And she was NOT in a good mood! She was waiting impatiently (quite obvious) for someone and my sense was that it was a son, or some male, that would be taking her out of there.
:Whether he did or not, I'll never know. Whether she had actually been a hospital patient or not, I'll never know. What I do know is that she sits there waiting for something.... with that tap, tap, tap of her cane.
:So that's my most recent "ghostly encounter." Like I said- you just never know where they'll show up!
:Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and "glowing" energy! I appreciate evry bit of it and am sure that all of this positive energy has helped me a great deal!
:Bright blessings to you all!

Yes, I am fortunate to have access to such surgical skills! Come to find out, people come from all over the country to see this dr. for cmplicated foot surgery. And he's not your average surgeon--- he gives a damn about you! He's a good guy! Unfortunately, 2 wks. after surgery my foot became infected and could not be managed by oral antibiotics. I was just released on Sat. (after 2 wks.!) from the hosp. where I was recieving IV antibiotics around the clock. Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!!!
I am not good in that type of setting! Prisoner, I was--- I tell you, I was a prisoner! But my foot is without infection now (no matter how hard I protested to go home to my sick ferret! who started eating better after all) and back in a hard cast to protect it-- I think they figure it should be protected from ME! Oh well. I am what I am! Thanks for the well wishes! I appreciate them all! Nancy
PS. Got plenty moreghost stories up my sleeve!
