Well, we just don’t talk enough………………….
Went home to MD for my nephew’s wedding…getting home an
d people were all weird including my mom…..spent time with steph (duh) and I think everyone was mad for us playing cards
T
hen my sister-in-law stated to me that “it was ok if I go to the rehearsal dinner” like I wasn’t invited after flying….then she was upset because I didn’t RSVP --- ok they knew I was flying in!!!!!! isn’t that enough notice?
Ok so I’m ready to go home before the wedding…………………………the wedding was ok but hot. They got married on the farm and had a tent setup BUT they ran out of food (too big of plates and people pigged out) soooooo that was interesting. Then comes the family pictures as an afterthought about 9:30pm (wedding was at 5) and most people left (because of the food and the pace was slow -- I think the cake should have been done after they
realized no more food etc)
Sunday and Monday, mom and I finally could talk without her being weird so that was good. I went to steph’s volleyball game on Tuesday
And she said “come play with us” -- right there I should have known better you’d think…..YEP klutz me, before I even touched the ball, I tore my calf muscle (this guy was trying to convince me it was just a Charlie horse)………..I hobbled home and iced it because I was really flying home Wednesday……………..I was going by subway but because of my leg mom took me to the airport (love mom)
Got to the gate early and the plane was late…..finally boarded and on the tarmac and the pilot
came on saying we were going back to a gate -- a light on the cargo door saying it’s not locked…………….that’s comforting. Needless to 
say we were about and 1 ½ late into Memphis and I watch my plane take off as we were taxing to the gate. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, I’m stuck in Memphis hop-along…..and they put us up in a holiday inn but with no bags……….they gave out a pouch containing, a t-shirt, toothbrush and razor plus 2 food vouchers……….had a great dinner and chocolate cake……yummy
t
ook a shower but forgot I didn't have my straighter iron....ugh bad frizzy hair. Great! was supposed to be in a meeting at work on Thursday where they moved it to 3pm...my flight into Tulsa got me in at 11 and April (Brent’s niece) picked me up because Brent had a major project going on............she didn't have to work until later so it was a win-win I guess!
NOT!!!!!!
As a hop along, I waited to get my bag (that I hadn't seen for 2 days) yes it made it off the plane in the right city....I had enough time to go home change clothes -- fix the frizzy bad hair and make it to work...........or that was the plan.
So I’m still a gimp with my leg but as we were coming off 11th street and Garnett,
we hear a horn honking. I can't see much in April’s car the seat is so low....then BOOOMMM! yep a lady hit us from behind.....I don't know why my first reaction was to call work and say I was in an accident and I don't think I’ll be in.....but I don't remember much. The lady was honking because she didn’t have any brakes and knew she was going to hit us if we didn’t move……bad brakes???? And you know that???? And you still drive the car??? REALLY???
all said and done,, I was loaded in emsa and off to st Francis I go. I do remember that A) the back board the firefighters put me on -- wasn't secured. I was moving everywhere and I knew my shoulder in the back was in pain. B) the paramedic took one look at my meds and wrote me off. I guess emsa stopped running lights on non-emergency calls or what....but the EMT did find every pothole he could hit or so it seemed. C) the paramedic didn't talk to me or offer any comfort considering I’m strapped down and confined, in pain, panic and condescending that I’m hyperventing when I said my arm was tingling.....
so, the trip to the er was non eventful as expected. finally, got the backboard off and the er doc was nice and sent me to xrays --- meanwhile, April called her dad and he told her to go ahead and get checked out at stf too...and that he'd be there in a while. after getting back from xray - Bria
n (April’s dad) was there and let me know about April and glen were there. then Brent came in and he's actually working in the children's building on that project so he was in and out of the er......granted I’ve finally been given something for the pain (it's wasn't that great) and the xray came back with a broken rib...YEP broke the 11th rib in the back and stress on the 12th (not sure if it was broken but could be) --- also because the leg had nothing to do with the accident....everyone forgot about it including me....
finally after 6 hours in the er, we get home and I still have not been in my bags and Brent was going to Texas for the races on Friday....so had to dump all in a basket so he could use that suitcase.............then I crashed.....percuset was ok but I don't like it as much as hydrocodine. I had given Brent my work's number to call me in sick -- I didn't want to deal with them over me not being there! like the accident was my fault....anyway....
when I woke up I realized Brent was still home and he decided not to go because he wanted to be home if I needed something.....and the er dr did say someone should check on me in case the rib punctures the lung....like I didn’t know what to do and what would Brent do about that anyways........but it was nice that he decided to stay...I hadn’t seen him for a week!! kind of missed him too (and the girls/stewie)
so get through the weekend but my leg is definitely worse for wear...when I get to work -- it's like I have the plagued and that I get the looks that I’m stupid or something.....my supervisor keeps asking me why I didn’t' come in on Friday and I kept telling her I broke a rib in the accident and my leg was swollen (now very black and blue). I had made an appt on Wed to see Thomas because I already had an appt for the new psych that I have to see (another story again) but as I get through Monday mornings emails and stacks of paper on m
y desk – I get an email from my supervisor telling me that I have to be here all week because they are counting on me to do my job. Like I didn’t want to do my job???? REALLY give me a break but she was so serious. Then I emailed about my dr on Wednesday and bowden on Thursday and she emailed back that I really was needed at my station (???) and I should consult her before making any dr appt in the future….REALLY!
SO you know me, did the knee jerk and cancelled everything. Sucked up and did only what HAD to be done and kept to myself. When I called Bowden’s offi
ce and told Brenda to cancel me appt she kind of knows me when I’m upset and what did she do----transferred me into bowden (ummm) like I was ready to talk to him…..so of course he want’s to see me…duh…no brainer considering I’m slight basket case as if he didn’t already know from my emails and blogging. Hmm let’s see my issues can range from: Brent, mom, sister-in-law, people staying at my moms and me sleeping on a board, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister, neighbor, mom being weird….and let’s not mention past haunts that I so thought I would have time to deal with. And that’s just Maryland…..then back to Tulsa – plane travel/stuck in Memphis, WORK, Brent, accident, emsa-paramedic aft
er realizing my “meds”…..WORK, no food in the house, back, leg, rib, leg…..
Whine, whine, and whine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t realize how pathetic this is rambling on but hopefully you get my sarcasms and misspellings and misuse of vocabulary. Ha
So here it is FRIDAY and I’ve been saving this email since Monday trying to complete it while I’m at my “STATION” and not desk….whatEVER.
I did get to go to Thomas PA late Tuesday afternoon and she did give me a shot in the muscle around the rib and that did help with the pain. Got more drugs or at least pain meds that work for me. And didn’t realize how seriously my leg was – torn calf muscle but since I flew the odds are greater for blood clots…..ok, I can’t take it anymore!!!!! So had to do an ultrasound. Since I haven’t he
ard back from Carmen I guess it wasn’t a blood clot….I just have a pretty bruise (and milking it at all cost as a martyr at work only because it really looks bad!!!)
So I’ve been at work (early) to prove a point I guess and stayed in my seat as much as possible……………..so now I’m working on how to work through the insurance claim and police report, emsa report, er visit/billing, etc……………………..yeah so much fun!
Ok – NOW HOW IS YOUR LIFE GOING???? You can tell me anything and I’ll believe it!!!!! or you can tell me I’m pathetic!! Ha either way – its all good!
