Up date on me.....
Okay - everyone knows that I've been wanting to get a bike and start riding again.....
Well I did that on Saturday - was riding around complex about 4 times and on the 4th time..I crashed and burned !!! OH MY - I fell all the way down.........I just don't bounce like I did when I was a kid............NO ONE SAW ME FALL........thank God for that................I had a great time - cleaned up and went to the ER on Sat night about 7pm. Was in and out by 812 !!
DX: Severe contusion, bruise and abrasion to the right knee...
To my surprise - apparently the ER dept tried to call me 2times on Sunday wanting me to come in for additional xrays - I missed those calls. I was so doped up all afternoon that I don't even remember my phone ringing.....I got those messages today when I finally realized I had voice mails to listen too.
THEY NOW THINK THAT I MAY HAVE A FRACTURED TIBULA PLATEAU (SP??) - THE GENTLEMEN WHO CALLED ME HAD AN ACCENT AND SO I WASN'T ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALOT OF WHAT HE WAS TELLING ME..
I called the ortho that they referred me to first thing on Monday morning and I have an appt 815 tomorrow morning - so Hopefully w/o going back to the ER for them to straighten up their mis-diagnosis.........the ortho will read and understand the xrays better than the PA that serviced me at the ER. !1 lol
Anyway - I'm fine and in good spirits....just in a lot of pain on whole body........the walker caused blisters on my hands because up until yesterday - I couldn't put any weight on the right leg at all - I can take 4-5 steps and then the knee just is like jello and just about fall down again !!
I AM STILL GOING ON THAT CRUISE - COME HELL OR HIGH WATER !!

thanks Viv !! I'm more worred about Kellie right now.. but the hydrocodone is helping...of course - its difficult for me to take antiflammatories.......so not sure what they'll do.
