Ouch

Twenty-four hours ago my Dear husband and I were sitting in the Reading ER... Yesterday my bones n muscles were feeling achy like I'd be coming down with the flu, a cold or something so I decided I was NOT coming down with this thing and when Lee got home I did twenty minutes of exercise/walking outside in drizzling rain which felt delicious! Lee suggested that when I get back I need to have a hot vinegar bath and he'll take care of the kids, dishes, cleaning up the house which he so often does. So a claustrophobic vinegar bath it was...I never did like them but it's a great way to fight off colds n germs and I do feel better afterwards usually. Well this time when I let the water down and stood up for my shower......................ding ding ding..........I woke up on the tile floor in a puddle of blood and my husband right there talking to me. After passing out I fell out of the tub on my chin which split open, the curtain came down rod and all with me. I'm so thankful I didn't break my nose or knock out my teeth! Crazy!!! So here I am with seven stitches and much sorer bones and muscles then before!  Especially where the tetnus shot was given! The Dr found what she thought was a piece of grout in the wound when she was cleaning it out. So grateful for hospitals n great Doctors even though none of us like to go there! We took the kids to Lee's Mom n Dad before heading into the ER around 9:00. And there were people everywhere waiting to see a Dr. When we were finally admitted after waiting 3 hours the hallways were lined with patients waiting for an empty room...and it's a big hospital. We got home at 2:00 am this morning. Lee stayed home today to help teach school, do a huge laundry and take care of me...God Bless him!!!!! I couldn't ask for a better man! I still feel weak and dizziness at times but hoping by morning I'll be much better. My mom is coming to do housekeeping etc tomorrow for which I'm so grateful! Praise God for family!

Have a Blessed and Joyous "2012"!!!
