my crazy week..


Well it all started on Monday... whew, and on from there it went... You see my oldest son injured his back last October playing football and it took him several weeks to recover.. it was terrible.. well on Monday, he believe it or not was out playing basketball and bent down to pick up his ball and hurt his back..
I felt terrible cause I was at home dozing on the couch (a rare occurrence) and didn't get his text for about 20 mins,... well, I finally heard my phone and got his text asking me to come and pick him up.. his back was hurt and he could barely walk... so I pick him up.. and after stopping briefly at home to pick up my mom and my youngest son we head to ER about a 40 minute drive... ugh...


so I go back with my oldest son to see the dr. and my mom stays in the waiting room with my youngest... who I can hear all the way in the back and am informed by the nurse that he is "quite the acrobat" I am sure my mom is pulling her hair out.. and was shocked to see her in the waiting room all her hair intact when I was done... lol but could see a sigh of relief from the nurses as we left...


They couldn't do much for my son, just prescribed him some pain meds and told him to take it easy for the next week.. no activity or pe or things of that sort..



Then comes Tuesday... now its all my turn..
I was walking outside to take one of my little puppies potty and stepped down my porch steps and down I went.. twisted my ankle, heard a pop, screamed and cried... my ankle immediately started swelling and bruising.. it was awful... My mom had to drag my son out of bed to come help me off the ground as I couldn't stand by myself.. it was so painful......well I finally got myself up and into a chair, then next had to figure out how I was gonna get to the ER cause I couldn't drive and my mom hasn't driven in years.. so luckily my son's friends mom was able to come and get me and take me to the hospital.. Another 40 minute drive ugh...

this time I left my youngest with my oldest... and just brought my mom.. it was a long drive.. but found out that I didn't break my ankle just sprained it and super scraped my other shin.. actually picked bits of skin off the inside of my pants yuck.. it was gross.. so they splinted my ankle gave me some pain meds and sent me on my way...



So, I have spent the rest of the week on my couch and I am so bored... I am only now just able to barely hobble about on my crutches.. I am hoping for a quick recovery.. I miss sleeping in my bed.. (I haven't wanted to dare the stairs to get up to my room) my kitties have become my best friends and have enjoyed me on the couch.. lol
