MEMORIAL DAY 2010

This is what happened to me on Memorial Day Friday as I was getting ready to go to see Mother. Tripped on the steps going out to the garage and fell flat. I knew I had broken my big toe as I felt it fold up underneath my foot. I also skinned up my left knee as I was falling but fortunately, no breaks! No time here for a broken leg! I had my reading glasses on and think I must have just mis-judged the steps.

It was nice of Gracie to share her pillow with me!

This was pretty much my position the rest of the weekend...

Tom took me to the emergency room at the suggestion of Sister #2. But the break was clean so no pin needed. The pain was more than I expected but the "happy" pills prescribed by the emergency room doctor helped a lot.

While I was laid up and Tom was nurse for the weekend, my kiddies were having fun at the lake! (This picture is from last year.) Sister #2 and her friend Jen were also there and spent a fun time on the boat and just enjoying the lake atmosphere. I was hoping I'd feel better by Sunday to go over for a while, but no such luck.

My kids came home on Tuesday, completely worn out and ready to get back to daily activities. Chris is home so things will be busy, ball will be played, laundry to do, ...

I did not get to Mother's to go to the Alumni Banquet or go with her and Sister #1 to decorate the graves, but will try again next year!
