Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Wow sorry to hear this.. Ill be thinking of you. Jolene In a message dated 5/4/2008 2:20:09 P.M.

Yesterday, I was laying on the bed while my grandson napped. We have a large dog who barks like a pit bull. She had come in the bedroom with me and I rolled over and reached to close the door as I have done a gazillion times. Well, apparently, I reached too far as I landed on the floor. Our bed is 4 feet up off the ground...we have it on risers because of our huge dog who sleeps under the bed. I landed on my right hip with quite a thud. I don't recall hitting my elbow but it is swollen something fierce and quite painful. My back is swollen on the right side and of course that and my hip is sore. I haven't gone to the ER as they are going to charge me my $75 co-pay and then send me to an Ortho anyway so I figured I'd say myself the funds and just call the Ortho tomorrow. The pain is incredible but it's nothing I can't handle. My arm though...holy cow does it hurt. I can't straighten out my arm, I can't carry my grandson which has made for an interesting time and I can't dress myself. I am resting as much as I can. Typing is a challenge that's for sure. Going to rest now. Peace and fabulous smellies! Katrina Stiles **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
