Yes. I’m here. Insomnia is the pits, isn’t it.
I will be posting some pictures soon. later tonight or tomorrow.
Here’s the deal. I was reaching for the aluminum foil on the top shelf of the pantry. Since I’m short, I moved a chair to the pantry and stood on the chair. I got the foil and was turning to get off the chair when something happened. The next thing I knew, the chair flew out from under me, as I fell I hit the cement corner of the wall with my head and I landed directly on the lumbar portion of my back. Y’all may remember that I had ruptured that disk almost 20 years ago and a little more than 10 years ago, I had back surgery. since the injury I have been dealing with back pain.
I had the cell phone in my pocket and after I had quit yelling (cause it hurt), I called the medicoes who came very quickly. They got a back board and carted me off to the local hospital for x-rays.
Praise the Lord, no fracture.
But since noon until now (almost 1800) we were thinking, “Darwin or Singapore” and “who should accompany me” and “who can do the (few) things I do” and “who can do the many things everyone else involved has to stop doing”?
I’m hoping I’ll get some narcotics in a few minutes and then my typing should get a bit funky.
Prescription: pain meds as needed, bed rest.
My Gosh!! What a horrid story. Were you unable to get up? It’s lucky you had your cell phone. I know I should carry mind all the time for the exact reason you needed yours.... but I often leave it laying here on my desk.
Apparently you don’t have any Ibprophen on hand?
I will pray that you are only ‘shaken up’ and will soon be back on top of your game.
First, I’m glad it wasn’t more serious and that nothing is broken.
Second, do you mind me gently scolding you a bit and everybody else who is tempted to use furniture as ladders? This sort of thing happens so often, a friend of mine broke her wrist last summer doing exactly the same thing. (I scolded her too, after giving her my love and sympathy.
Which is what I’m giving you now ((((Jemian))))
:^)
(Use a step ladder next time, please!!)
