This weekend while visiting Carmen, my feet tripped over themselves and I hit the pavement. Hard. First, nothing is broken. Second, I am fine. Bruised, scratched, and a little humiliated. The girls had on heels…I was the one in sneakers trying to help them steady themselves over the stupid pavement. So grateful that it wasn’t nothing worse.
It happened early Saturday morning, and the above picture was the first night, still really swollen, and glasses scratched (badly). Wrists, elbows, shoulders, nose and mouth (no loose teeth either) are tender, but my left knee is in some pain. (The picture below is at home 36 hours later.)
This picture is Sunday (about 30 hours later) at lunch (breakfast) at Louie’s in Baton Rouge (a must if you are in town). We eat there whenever we are there. Swelling is down, and starting to scab and heal. Bruising is darkening, and my joints are hurting.
And, now I am home…another bath with Epsom salts…and spare glasses are working fine.
Blessings.
Spending the weekend with baby girl in Baton Rouge, taking pictures for her college graduation.
This a one of the shots outside of her sorority house. She has made some incredible friendships here, and I am truly grateful God took her here. She found a purpose, plan and is focused on the future. Looking forward to see what the future has in store.
Most days I am okay…some days I need help. My pain in my back and shoulder is manageable, with pain patches. I wear these most recently two times a week. It helps with pain management, and coping with day to day movement.
Most Sunday afternoons I take a bath with 2 to 3 cups of Epsom salts and a bath bomb.
David and I volunteered this morning for the Making Strides Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.
It was a hot, beautiful day. We were on the fruit station, cutting up bananas and oranges. I love being involved especially when we have had friends impacted by breast cancer. But really who hasn’t?
