It has been a while since I have seen this particular movie but, if you have ever seen the movvie or read the book, there is one scene that you will never forget: the "hobbeling"...
In the movie a best selling author is in an accident and nursed back to health by a rather deranged woman who keeps him prisoner while forcing him to ressurect a favorite character that he had apparently killed off in his latest book.
As part of her efforts to keep him from leaving until he had finished his work she "hobbled" him by bracing his legs with a board and breaking both ankles with a sledge hammer. It is one of the most memorable movie scenes that I have ever seen.
What does all this have to do with? I will tell you. Any effort I make to "escape" my present situation my even getting up and around enough to take a shower and cutting my hair (a total of about 15 minutes) left my knees hurting so much that I felt like that same woman had taken the sledge hammer to me as well. My knees hurt so much for the next two days that I could barely make it to the bathroom even with the use of a cane.
I can't help but wonder what the future holds. The only thing that comes to my mind is "Misery"....
Please forgive any misspellings or gramatical errors in these blog posts. The medications I am on make it very difficult to concentrate enough to spell properly or keep from rambeling and repeating myself. If you care enough to be reading this then I owe it to you to be honest regarding not just my physical condition but my mental status as well.
