Homebound

This last Sunday as I was rollerblading with Isaiah, I took a nasty fall on my right arm and dislocated my elbow! ugh I don't remember the last time I was in so much pain! I tried to break the fall with my arm as I was falling backwards, and I fell on my arm or hand with a locked elbow and heard a pop, and I was down in total agony. What's weird about this whole thing is that Annamarie ended up coming to the park to join us about an hour later to hang out, and thank God for that cause she helped out tremendously, calling the ambulance and her dad to come pick up the boys. And she ended up coming with me to the hospital and staying with me throughout the procedure. After taking X-rays they said it was dislocated with a few small fragments loose, but they said they shouldn't bother me. They ended up sedating me soon after and the procedure took no longer than 10 minutes actually, so it wasn't too bad, thank God.

So lucky me I get to stay home this week and practice using my left hand for practically everything, including typing! lol The bad news is, I wasn't yet covered by my medical, which starts in a week, so that's gonna hurt! My brother's gf works at a place where I guess they deal with issues like that, so she's gonna see what she can do to help. That would be good.

Anyhow, the pain is almost nonexistent...I just have to deal with this sling around my neck and sleeping on my back, which is a pain. Other than that, I'm just in the Word and trying to stay busy with my site and other reading. Man...I hope I'll be okay by the time class starts! yikes...I just thought of that, too. Oh Lord...I pray for a quick healing! =)
