Jeesh where to begin? What a month!
The week of my birthday - (Oct 17th)
1) I chipped my tooth - that was no biggie
2) My cousin had his ACL repaired = knee surgery (he's doing fine now just a big slow - off crutches etc)
3) My uncle was starting to get sick and having right sided chest/abdominal pain - he saw his doctor had an ultrasound - had a bad gallbladder on my birthday (Oct 20) he was rushed into emergency surgery to have it removed. They put a drain in b/c it was draining bile and I think b/c it was so infected also. He STILL has the drain in and it is STILL draining.
4) My foot had been bothering me for about 3 weeks and I finally saw a foot doctor and he confirmed what I knew - I had a stress fracture but it was healing well and I was doing ok but on 10-30-05 I fell getting into my car and my left (fractured) foot stayed where it was and I felt it pop - ie: re-break - so I took myself to the ER (first time I had ever been there) ended up on crutches for the weekend and non weight bearing. NOW I am in a boot and doing ok - doesn't hurt much - just trying to not be stupid as I don't want to REBREAK it again.
5) Today my grandma was at the YMCA for her water aerobics class and after she was done and getting ready to leave she was walking up the hall and tripped and fell down and busted her lip - scratched up her nose and broke her knee cap. She has broken her knee cap 3 times - so this is the 2nd time for this one - she has done both of them. So she is to see an orthapedic dr. tomorrow - the ER doc didn't think she would need surgery this time.
*sigh* I HOPE that is all!
thank you for the thoughts and prayers!
