There's always something good in the bad!

This morning I dropped my daughter off at Nursery school. On my way to get back in the car and head to work I slipped on the ice. OUCH!!!!! I twisted my ankle and knee, it hurt so bad (worse than surgery did), I drove straight to the ER (1/8 mile away). After 3 hours the gave me an ace wrap and said to stay off my leg, ice it and see an orthopedist if it doesn't improve in a week! Also gave me some vicodin if I need it. Anyways, the Nurse Practitioner could not believe that I had had surgery 3 months ago! She would never had guessed I would had ever been a cantidate and commented on how great I looked and thew fact that I have little sagging skin! I hit -80 lbs today (WOOHOO!!!!). I can only imagine how much worse this could have been with an extra 80 lbs on my body! Although mytush (where I landed) probably wouldn't be so sore!! I'm sure I'll be fine for bowling this weekend, but this is one more reason to be thankful I have been given a new lease on life! Hugs, Carmen

Carmen, Great way to start the day! I would of gone home and went back to bed! I am glad you are going to be alright. I would take it easy, you will probably really feel sore tomorrow. Take care of yourself, Nancy K.

Carmen Oh my! That sounds like it hurt! I hope you are not too sore. I fell in my LR a few months ago..tripped flat on my face. My son strolled upstairs..suprised to see me on the floor...I didn't even make a thud !!! A few months before I would have shaken the entire house! Take care of yourself XOXO Joanie

Sorry you're hurting and feeling a bit sore, but what a great compliment from the nurse. Congratulations on hitting 80 pounds Make sure you ice your ankle and I hope you don't feel worse in the morning. Hugs, Maggie

Thanks guys, Fortunately I am not too sore today! I was able to just take Tylenol this morning and should be fine sticking with that! Carmen
