Well, hello there my lovely followers. It has been far too long since I have babbled on to you with my pearls of wisdom. Don’t laugh too hard at that, ok? Anyway, I have missed this. We all need an outlet for our thoughts from time to time and I have been holding way too much inside my crowded little brain.
I wasn’t busy just being a lazy old lizard. It has been a pretty rough year and a half for me. Let’s see… I had Covid twice, various other minor ailments, and the big one… a major accident that I am still trying to recover from!
Oh, not to mention, I turned old overnight! How does that happen? Well, I will tell you. That major accident I alluded to before… it was life changing.
Ok, ok, here’s the details. (I will try to do the Cliff notes version.) We were taking two of our grands to the movies and we ran up the broken escalator because… well they are 4- and 7-year-olds… always in perpetual motion and in a hurry. We thought it was safe. There were no cones or hazard tape blocking the entrance and (mob mentality here) everyone else was going up!
I got to the top and my grandson reached out for my hand, so I reached out too and did not see the top stair which was protruding out just about one inch. I tripped and fell into the side of the escalator and then ricocheted off to slam my face into the ground. My apple-watch set off an alarm and called 911!
*Sidenote here: I’m totally in love with this watch now!
Paramedics came, took me to the hospital and 8 hours later… I had two breaks in my humorous (NOT) at the shoulder, tore my tfcc, got two trigger fingers, torn tendons and carpel tunnel had to be released!
Doing nothing for 10 months stiffens body parts, messes with your head and makes you old! Ok, not overnight but 10 months to old lady! Fortunately, with lots of hard work, I am reversing all of that! So, my dear ones in conclusion,
I’M BACK!
