I'M HURT!
1. Just this weekend we both had stomach virus. I'll spare the details on that one.
2. I know better than to put plastic bags of cans or jars on a chair, because they will always roll off. But last night I stopped and put them on a rocking chair, so I could hurry to give Bob some meds I brought home. When I went to get the bag a 2bl 8oz jar of peanut butter hit my foot, right where the big toe attaches to the foot. I thought for sure it was broken. I knew better to not put the stuff on that chair, but I wasn't careful enough.
3. Now, I was just putting out the garbage...and wondering why it seemed so much darker than usual when I do it. Later I figured out it was because I brought a bag of paper garbage out the front, and I usually open the garage door and take out the garbage. That lets a lot of light onto the drive. When I got to the end of the driveway, I stepped on an uneven part and twisted my ankle and then felt my knee twist, then my back twist as I fell. I wondered if anyone heard me scream when I fell and might come out... nope. I lay on the road for about 15 minutes, waiting for the shock of the pain to stop, and hoping nothing was broken. I saw the lightening and wondered if it would rain on me. I kept hoping a neighbor would drive down the street, but no one was coming, and my darn "I've fallen and can't get up button" was by my computer. (lesson learned) Then I tried to set up somewhat and tried scooting on my butt to the cars, to use them to get up, but it started hurting my back when I pushed up to scoot. I got to the dip in the drive and thought I might be able to roll over into the grass on my knees. After much struggle, I clawed my way up, and made it inside. So thankful I was able to get up and nothing's broken. Knee is not feeling right - it's the one I had surgery on before for torn this and that. But, will keep a good thought. I know this is all my fault. I should have did it earlier, and not kept going when I saw how dark it was. I'd have thought of the garage light if I'd given it a while to sink in. I should have had my button on, I did pay for it, but it's useless if I can't get it. I know it sounds strange, but I'm overwhelmed with thankfulness that I am basically OK and was able to get in and back to Bob. I'm always so scared if something happens to me, what will happen to him... thank God, we didn't have to find out. Please pray for me, I seem to keep doing stupid stuff lately... my confidence is shaken
