The dangers of reading and walking...

I had the worst experience today!!! I was walking to the lab to start a digest and then run off to the dentist to get a crown...and the walk from the garage to the research building takes about 5 minutes...so I started reading my book ("genome")...and I...wasn't paying attention and I stepped in a HOLE!!

So instead of going into the lab and the dentist I spent the day in the ER...YUCK!!

My foot isn't broken, but it was such a miserable experience that I am still in a bad mood...I was there for 5 hours!! It took them 3 hours to send someone in to order an X-ray...another hour for the x-ray...another 1/2 hour for it to be read...and then I had to wait 30 mintues for discharge papers...and they insisted that I stay and sign them....at the end of the day it was just a piece of paper that said that I would elevate/ice my foot...geesh!!!


Well, I just thought that I would vent... :\

Oh yuk! What a horrible thing! But at least you didn't walk into a pole! Then you'd have a lump on your forehead for people to ask about... and then you'd have to explain. If mommy has a sore foot, what kind of mileage can you get out of that?

Sorry, just trying to make you giggle, Kris!

Kris, is your foot these days?

Kris, is your foot these days?

Kris, is your foot these days?

Better, but still sore...it is a bit weaker now and I seem to be twisting it alot. I should have listened to the doc and taken the crutches....but yah right!! Can you see me on crutches with 3 children? I think it will just take awhile longer to heal...thanks for asking!

You know, a couple of weeks ago, I WALKED INTO A DOORWAY! I had this huge, bruised, raised area on my forehead above my eye. Jon was so embarrassed - he didn't want people to think he was beating me or something when I told others I walked into a door! It was awful! I was dizzy and couldn't see straight for days. My mom finally convinced me to go to the doctor. My doctor looked at me and said, "You need an MRI. I am worried that you could have a bleed." And of course, the first thing I think of is my little boy and the stuff he has gone through because of a "bleed". I swear he and I must have eggshells for skulls! Well, I couldn't get an MRI because I am not insured and they run upwards of $2000. So, she let me go very worried that I was going to keel over the next morning. I couldn't drive (blurred vision) and I kept feeling like I was going to pass out! After a week, it all went away, so who knows what was really wrong with me! I still have a ridge above my eyebrow where I rammed my head!
