I AM A HURTING PUPPY!

If I thought I was sick yesterday, it was nothing compared to how I feel tonight.  I was fine earlier.  I woke up feeling much better.  Just one of those 24 hour bugs, I guess.  No fever.  No nausea and no diarrhea.  I had to go pick up Chewlee from her new school and got in the wrong line because she was a third grader.  She went to the school building BEHIND the main building so I had to wait for the gal to stop the cars so I could get out of the parking spot I had been asked to pull into since I had to go into the office to show my ID and let them check to make sure I was *on the list*.....

But, once I got to where she was waiting outside with a few others that hadn't been picked up yet, no one checked my ID since Chewlee ran up to the car yelling, *Grandma*.  I still feel good at this point.  BUT...I take a few bulky items out of my computer room that I had in there to be washed, head towards the washing machine and slip on a pair of the Beast's glasses that he had dropped on the floor and not picked up.  I couldn't see them.  All I knew was that my toes hit something that slipped and sent me down on one knee with a THUD!

Talk about hurting more and more as time went on.  It's black and blue, slightly swollen and I can barely walk.  I tried wrapping it in an ACE bandage but it seems to be making it feel even worse.  I felt around the knee and nothing seems out of place.  I can bend it, straighten it and even twist it slightly but it is so damn painful that I can't stand it.  After I post this, I am going to take a pain pill and hope it helps.  If not, I will probably be up all night.

It was actually kind of nice out except for the  wind today.  It was in the upper 60's when I left to go pick up Chewlee.  I had to because of the Beast's doctors appointment at the Pain Clinic.  He didn't give the Beast an epidural shot today because his back wasn't hurting him all that much.  But the doctor said if it started hurting him again, he was to call right away and then come in.  I took these same shots quite a few years ago after an accident where I was rear-ended and had whip lash.  I really thought that was a made up injury until it happened to me.  It helps for a while but doesn't last.  I had to take several shots (that were all that were allowed on my insurance since the other driver had no insurance and also hadn't lived at the address on his driver's license for several years ...of course!).  

I did get all my wash done, folded and put away before the pain became crippling.  I yelled at the Beast for dropping his glasses on the floor and not sliding it out of the way of our foot traffic.  He's so used to ME picking up the things he's dropped but I have to know he dropped them or see them.  With my arms full, there was no chance I could see that.  Oh boy...getting a bit nauseous right now from the pain. There...took the pain pill with full hope that it helps.  It's one of the stronger ones I have.  Should kick in within a half hour. Sooner I hope.

It's staying actually kind of warm at night.  I had to turn down my heating blanket or I started sweating.  It's 12:30am and it's still 65 outside.  We are under a wind advisory with gusts up to 40mph.  That can't be good.

I have to close this for now.  Love you all and I hope your week started off fine and continues the same way.  ***Hugs***
