Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 : I'm losing what little mind I have left. I swear on my children and my deceased mother that you're not going to believe this. I had six kids over today, sent one home and the rest of them and I were watching Rudolph on DVD in my living room. I got up to go into the kitchen and noticed that the door to the attic at the top of the stairs was opened, I go up the stairs and shut the door. Turned around to come down the stairs and got down three of them before I slipped and fell down the remaining five steps. The kids were upset so I pretended that I was ok. Told them " no big deal and Bumble's Bounce " the line from Rudolph and they laughed. I then went in to my bedroom and started to cry. Just got off the phone with my doctor and he wants me in the ER because I hit my head and I'm now vomiting. Not a fun thing to do with cracked ribs. My left knee is swollen, my left elbow is stiff, stiff neck and my left wrist hurts when I move it. My left shoulder popped when I fell, now I have matching dislocated shoulders. Low back is really starting to stiffen up. Told the doc that I can't go to the ER, I just can't and will wait and see him or my orthopedist in the morning. I work for the ortho guy and he will get me right in. Says if the vomiting gets any worse or if I get a headache or any kind of unexplained feeling get to the ER. He spoke to Tim and told him what to watch for. I'm living in the twilight zone. I just can't believe this crap!!!!! I'm sitting here typing in hopes that the need to vomit will go away. Trying to keep myself occupied. Not trying to be difficult, but the thought of sitting in an ER is more than I can handle right now. Two weeks in a row??? My God, I should get frequent flyer miles or something. Told Tim we have to get out of this house. It's trying to tell me something and apparently I haven't been listening. I keep hearing " Go West " , but Tim keeps hearing Sinatra singing " New York, New York " . Going to go lay down and not move for the rest of the evening. At this point, I'm not even going to get up to go to the bathroom. Don't want to take any chances. Have to go, I'm typing alternating using both hands and using the hunt and peck method. Just thought I'd amuse you with this. I know it's not amusing, but after awhile, there's nothing left but to laugh, otherwise I'm going to have a breakdown.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 Oh my dear Regina, The hell with a helmet and shin pads....how about we just cover every blessed inch of your in bubble wrap. At least then when you have a " regina-moment " you'll just pop with no harm done! Heck, people will want to hug you constantly just to hear the satisfying pop pop! You take special care of yourself. Your poor body has been through so very much.....We know Tim will watch you carefully and I'm sending up a special prayer to the big Guy to keep you safe. with ever so gentle huggzz, Sue Either we move or we have an exorcism performed : I'm losing what little mind I have left.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 >> I'm losing what little mind I have left. I swear on my children and my deceased mother that you're not going to believe this. I had six kids over today, Here's the first problem -- you just got out of the hospital, and you have 6 kids over? You're supposed to be taking care of YOU!!!! >> I got up to go into the kitchen and noticed that the door to the attic at the top of the stairs was opened, I go up the stairs and shut the door. Here's the second problem -- why does it have to be you who does this? Couldn't DH go up & close the door? One of the many kids? Girl, you DO too much! But the thing I'm really worried about is the vomiting, as this could be a signal for a number of things, including a heck of a concussion. GET TO THE HOSPITAL and quite trying to type with 2 dislocated shoulders! Tim, when are you going to tie her down? She has to heal! With many big hugs and lots of worry ~~ Lyn G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may seriously want to consider some kind of positive reinforcement therapy at this point, because anything you do right now has to be tinged with fear of another problem. Ceep would probably know more about something like that, right Ceep? Love, in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
