U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

It was the scariest thing yesterday when I fell. I guess you can say, it reminded me of Natasha Richardson when she hit her head. Well I fell, my head and shoulder hit the chair and I felt my back just snap, crackle and pop. And thought to myself if I move, I could paralyze myself. So I laid there, tried to see if there was any pain in my back. There was little at the time, but more in my knee...it was on fire. I scared the ER doc, they though I broke my wrist and was worried about it being the scaphoid bone because its the most commonly broken bone. Thank goodness it wasn't. Then when they said they needed another opinion on my back xray, it scared me even more. Well I woke up today with little pain but my arm very sore. I've been taking Ibuprohen and so far, so good. I woke take the other stuff til' bedtime. I don't like taking medicines, in fact I hate it. But irritated me last night was the doctor offering me different drugs like Darvocet, Lorotabs?, Tylenol 3's, Vicodin, whatever I wanted. I said, give me the less invasive stuff that won't wreak havoc on my stomach. So today, my boyfriend and I worked together, he did most of the work but we got the attic done. That is a blessing to have done. Less to do later. In a little bit my Son's Aunt from North Carolina will be here to go thru the clothes that I have been saving up for her. I have a huge heaping pile, that I have been washing for her. Hopefully she takes most of it, the rest is going to Good Will. I am so excited. People don't realize all the "stuff" I have. This move is kicking my ass so far.

After my tumble yesterday I think I bruised my ego more than anything. The wrist is better but all the way up the elbow is really sore. They gave me pain pills, but sorry...I don't like taking them. I don't like the weird ass feelings it gives me. I for one, like to be in control my mind....lol. Ask anyone they will tell you. They tried giving me pain medicine in the ER last night but told them no. I had a empty stomach and knew I would get sick if I did. So I waited til' almost time for bed before I took one. It was a rough night, thanks to the furbabies....but managed. Today, we still have LOTS to do. Oh, forgot to mention while in the ER my boss called to tell me the time and place for training for work. I was all calm and shit, he had no clue where I was at....lol. THEN, when they took my blood pressure the first time it was high, they think it was from the fall and hurting myself. It was 142/100 and then the second time it was 122/86 so that eased my mind. Kinda scared me though.
