It was a Tuesday in April. I was busy with my volunteering projects, my
“kids”- Katie, Kasey, and Sombra. Places
to go, people to see, things to do. I’d
been out and about all morning and had returned home to pick up the dogs and take
them to the vet for their checkups. Life
was very good! In the blink of an eye,
it all changed.
I took a fall.
My bones leave a lot to be desired but I was treating
them with great care and caution and they’d been doing their job. Then a weak bone gave and down I went. The hip replacement was loosened and a bone
in the hip was fractured. Fortunately,
the door was open and it only took about 2 ½ hours for someone to hear me and
get help.
Having my priorities in order, while the EMT’s prepared me
for transport, I called Judi and asked her to stop by the house on her way home
and pick up the dogs, telling her it might possibly be an overnight stay, and
would she also please make sure the cat was inside and feed her. Okay, now I can go down to the city and see
what damage has been done.
As this odyssey continues, I will try to keep everything
in my head until I can get it to the computer and then do a series of
posts. They tell me recovery’s going to
be a long road. I’d enjoy the company so
come join me as all the king’s horses and all the king's men and I put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
