Sounds like you are in a tough spot. Are you completely off your feet or can you get around? How long before you get to go home? Will you need to be able to do stairs?

You’re in New Hampshire, according to your profile. I am in Central Maine. We have lots of snow and I bet you do, too. Aside from the lack of conversation, is the place ok? Got books?
