I had a bit of a rough day today, I took the day off for a doctors appointments and to assist with setting up with a church yard sale. While helping to unload a truck at the church, I stumbled on the step (singular) and fell flat on the concrete. My Daddy was with me, and he tried to get me up. I told him to just let me lay ( I was hurting so bad, I couldn't catch my breath). I sent him after an ice pack and got myself up. I was a bit sore but feeling ok.
We finished at the church for the morning and I rushed to my doctor's appointment, a bit late because of the fall. I explained to the receiptist and she said no worries handing me paperwork to fill out. I set down with the paperwork only to have three nurses rush out to look at me . I had a big goose egg on my head and by that time was getting a little blurry eyed. They decided that I did not need to see the Hemotologist today and put me in a wheelchair and pushed me to the emergency room. Seemed like the little lady pushed me half a mile.
Once there, I called Daddy (because I was suppose to meet him back at the church later to help finish setting up) and he would have worried if I didn't show up. So now I have finally got home for the night. After xrays, a CAT scan, and much ordeal at the hospital. (They didn't want to give me pain medication because of the goose egg. My nurse there left a lot to be desired, I asked three times for someone to help me to the restroom, Daddy finally did.) My eldest daughter came after work.
Good news no concussion(the ice kept the swelling on my head from causing damage), bad news bruised badly, and have a fractured ankle. Daughter thought I ought to go and spent the night at her house or Daddy's so I wouldn't have stairs with hubby being out of town (DH's brother has been admitted to hospice, more news that we were expecting but not today). I finally compromised and had them bring my pillows, quilts etc downstairs to the sofa for me.
And I will miss the fun at the yard sale tomorrow. The yard sale is a benefit for a family here and I was looking forward to it.
