Been A Long Time

Same ol thing still going on.  My son fell 3 weeks ago, and now the neurosurgeon has him on a hurry up to do surgery on his neck.  His right arm and leg look like he's had a stroke but he didn't.  He has to wear a boot on his right foot because the toe won't lift up.  Still not sure if that's part of the neck nerves or not.  His neck would lock up and make him fall at times.  He's ready!  Monday is his last test, another MRI, then a date set.  He's had so many.  The EMG and nerve conduction ones were done last week.

Then, i fell last Tuesday, just stumped my toe and down i went, face first.  I landed on my hands, messing up the tendons in my elbows,,bumped my nose and glasses enough to make the inside of my eye black.  My nose is still sore, but not broken.  My arms are black from the elbows up, lol.  I didn't even know it til yesterday when i raised my arms to show my sis and she went,,, OMG... I can't straighten them all the way, nor bend them up all the way either. Had a hard time eating, couldn't get the fork to my mouth with my right hand... They are better each day.

Otherwise, loving the weather change. Had to use some heat this morning. Gonna be in the 70s today.  What a change!

Even tho i don't post every day, i still read all the blogs. Well, the ones i keep up with. lol.

Got a class reunion coming up on the 18th. Will go if son's surgery not interfering. It's the 55th.  WOW

Yall tc, and

  1. Dang, I am so sorry that you fell. You know that it doesn't help your son any if you get yourself all banged up. Be careful, be safe. Missed your posts. Glad you are back posting.

      Hard to post when there's nothing new going on.

  2. Take your time to recover from your fall... you might find you have aches and pains in new places for a few days yet. I get the stitches out from my fall on Monday and believe me, I'm sure gonna pick up my feet a little higher when I walk!

  3. Now is the time to test your motto of "don't worry, be happy", and honey, if you can still say that, I want some of what you're drinking. Good luck, both of you!

  4. I am sorry to hear about your and your son's fall. Hoping his surgery goes well. May you also feel better soon.

    Was getting worried about you since you had not made a post but I understand why now. Remember we are a "blogger family" even though many of us have never met in person...we still care what happens to the other blogger members.

    1. Yes, on blogger family. Agree all the way.
      Son has the last MRI tomorrow, so we think his surgery will get set now. He says,, do it NOW.

  5. I, too, fell today. Now, I have to use a walker to get around. I hit my cheek and have a big red mark. The eye that just had cataract surgery is hurting me and feels like I got something in it. My L torn rotator cuff hurts so bad I can barely move my arm. The L knee that got a cortisone shot under the kneecap is sore where it was fine after the shot. My legs are really torn up. I hope the two of you get over your falls. I never heard of a neck problem causing leg problems. But, I guess you will find out. Let's try not to do this again, all of us.

    1. WOW, i'm shocked, about all of us falling...Think you might have had the worst one. My nose is sore, and black where the things on my glasses hit. But no pain. Elbows only thing.
      Hope YOU get over YOUR fall!
