Welcome to my jungle!
Hello family,
Sorry, I have not been on in a while.
Monday, was a VERY bad, no good day! I am living on my sis' property in the apartment behind their home. She has this awesome washer/dryer set up that allows for huge loads at one time. So, I did like 2 weeks of laundry for J and me in ONE load!!!
In my attempt to carry a very overloaded basket of clean laundry back down the steps and to my apartment, I fell off the last step when my right ankle turned in. I heard a very distinctive "SNAP" about 4 iniches above my right ankle, the outer bone broke instantly.
I was up before everyone that morning so no one knew I was lying out there in the freezing, wet lawn, unable to even crawl for help. Thank God J woke up and came out looking for me. I sent her in to get Auntie and tell her I fell down. She did an awesome job.
I split open my left knee, totally jacked up my back and my right ankle/lower leg was already twice the size. brother in law got me into his truck (a whole funny home video could have been made with the process it took to get me up!) and he took me to the hospital.
Sure enough, right fibular fracture! So now I am parked, and have been since Monday, on my sis' couch, not able to bear any weight at all for 4-6 weeks. I am going NUTSO!!! I did finally get my hair washed today and got a sponge bath, feels sooooooooo much better being clean!!
This is so beyond frustrating, not to mention painful!!
Thank goodness J is being beyond wonderfully good and gets along with her sibs/cousins sooo well!
I got very upset with Aly the other day as she visited me and then did nothing but compain that I wouldn't be able to go to the Special Olympics with her. Finally H took her home, but only after sis gave him a very mean look!!!
Anyways, just a poor ol me post!! Can't be on here very long, my leg swells very quickly!
I am thinking of y'all and will be checking in now and then.
Hugs and love,
Vickie
