Big BOO-BOO
I have wanted to write for the past 10 days now but have not managed to be able to get up here to do so. Seems once a gain I have managed to really hurt myself. A week ago on Thursday while watching my (our) grandson I stepped onto the porch, twisted my ankle and fell. Slid on my knees right off the porch, all while holding onto said grandson so he wouldn't get hurt. He did get a few scrapes on his forehead, but that's all. I on the other hand broke my ankle. Well not a big bad break, but a small break, it has a chip and a crack, so now I am on crutches..again knowing how graceful I am NOT a good thing. It hurts real bad so I take the pain meds. Which makes me goofier than I already am. Probably the best sleep I have had in months though. :o) I saw the doctor on friday and he said it could take up to 8 weeks for this to heal. Shades of high school all over again. I did this my senior year...same porch just fell a different direction. You should have seen my face. It looked like someone went over it with sandpaper. Had a big honking knob on my forehead. The black and blue is now turning to yellow and green so I know it is healing, but man just the slightest wrong move and it hurts like hell. I do now have a much deeper appreciation for people with disabilities. Just going to the hardware store yesterday was an event that wore me out. But anyway. I am now off to read journals that I have not read for awhile. Hope this finds you all well, and enjoying your summer! Take care! HUGGS!
