Yesterday was one heck of a day. I was sooooo exited for my aging service lady to be here, I rushed too fast and should have went
slower. Getting in her car I stepped up on a platform, misjudged my footing and fell backwards. I sure have goofed up my body!
Down I went backward and lay on the asphalt. It was so creepy for 3 min. I turned white and my lips blue...lay there and my arms tingled,
people kept asking me if I was okay but I couldn't blink my eyes or sp eak or move my mouth. I thought maybe I'd black out again but
oh no then came the pain. I knew I gashed my head open because of the blood but I felt I should stay still in case I'd did anything
to my back. Darn they put me on that hard ambulance board with the neck brace on but I had to lay on the back of my head, then it was pain for almost 7 hours. The ct scan showed it wasn't broken just back sprained and the neck sprained. Then my hand, the bones
weren't broken just nerves in it, so I wonder how long I can type. We never noticed it tell I had to sign papers that my glasses were gone. Nola called the office, and she came out front, found them but one lense was lost the frames twisted so bad I'll have to get new ones.
They finally wanted a MRI in case I'd had a stroke. They found something in my brain they couldn't read so I go to a neurosurgon.
Finally they could get to my head....it kept breaking open, so they put this stupid bandage "bonnet" on me. It has a poof on the
top and a tassel on it and strap under the chin boy do I look stupid. I'm to be down 4 weeks....No way! Right now I can't raise
my head up or down or my neck left and right..I have help all over with my friends from Relief Society. Mary even
had to help get me to bed last nite, but I lay their about an hour this a.m. in bed moving little by litte till I could set
up. I've scrapes and bruises all over my body and hurt to much so I won't be writing for awhile. Just pray for the thing
in my brain that its nothing serious!
