Morning at the Hospital

May 24, 2018 1:33pm CST
This morning was my session at the hospital, my injection for colitis. It was a pretty uneventful three hours. In fact I slept through it for the most part. They give me Benadryl and Tylenol before every infusion, which is why I sleep through it. It was actually good to sleep this morning as I was up at 2:15. At least now I don't need a nap. Everything went well until I left. I made a grand exit by tripping off the curb and landing on my posterior in front of my car when they brought it to me. I've been very careful about curbs since it was a curb I fell off of three years ago and landed in the hospital for a week, having a broken leg at that time. This time the only thing wounded was my pride. Though I might have twisted the right knee this time as it is a bit difficult to walk, but not too bad. I'm not taking myself back to the hospital to find out what I did to myself this time. At the most it will cost me a day at the pool tomorrow if it's still giving me trouble. Above is my beautiful wrist bracelet, showing where I was all morning. Now, my plan is to get the notifications done and work on a book, though I might need to put my leg up, which means the recliner. We'll see how it goes. So, that was my morning. How's your day going? Thanks for reading.

I've been so careful about curbs, but my shoe caught on the curb, and down I went.

Glad you weren't seriously hurt when you fell. Hope you don't have too many aches and pains either.

I'm going to need to get it up. My knee isn't as good as I hoped, still I don't think it's too bad, maybe a slight twist to the knee. No pool tomorrow. I think I'll be using my cane the rest of the weekend.

Take care. I don´t like hospitals, but many times it is the only thing you can do. Why do you have colitis? What is the diagnostic?

I don't know why I have it, but it's incurable. I'll be on medication for the rest of my life. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm almost finished with the notifications, then I'll be taking to the recliner with ice. Looks like I'll be using my cane the rest of the weekend.

What a morning that was for you.[em]lol[/em I remember falling some years ago - and like you the only thing that hurt was my pride - until later when I felt the bruises.

If it still does not feel good go to the doctor and has an X ray

I had the second part of my root canal done and then met with friends for lunch. I had to pick the dogs up at the groomer and then home.

You had a busy day. Just one trip left to the dentist, is that right? I think that's what I read about that.

Ouch! Glad no real damage done from the curb this time. I broke my ankle in February taking a wrong step off one and I’m still healing.

I hope you heal soon. I was in the hospital for four days with a broken leg last time and in the nursing home for a month rehab. I'm glad it didn't come to that this time.

@just4him I know that you do not like the idea to go back to the hospital, but if it hurts you should ask the doctor opinion.

@LadyDuck I see my doctor next Tuesday. I'll tell him about it then. It was an appointment I made many months ago, that just coincided with this accident.

No, it wasn't, and I get to do it again on my birthday, and that's definitely not the best way to start that day. My knee is almost healed. I'll be back in the pool tomorrow.

do you keep your wrist bracelet for souvenir, or you throw it right away?

@ridingbet They make it so loose it was easy to take off. Nobody likes to be reminded of being in the hospital, unless it's for the birth of a child. I do have those wrist bands in my baby books.

I did last night. I'll be taking more soon. I'm resting it as much as possible. I had ice on it last night, though I don't know if it did any good.

@just4him So Valerie does that relate to how you knee is feeling now or is this something else that happened then? Is what happened to your knee now something new?

In a way it's related, as that was the first of three accidents I had with falling. I have bad arthritis, so it doesn't help. It's getting better now, more every day. It will never be pain free because of the arthritis, but it is bearable.

@Hannihar Not so much when it rains, as when it's leading up to a huge storm. As soon as the storm is upon us, the pain isn't as intense any longer.

@just4him How about when it rains does the knee act up then too? I find that injuries I have when it rains I suffer from them. I am so sorry. It is not much fun.

It's starting to feel better, but still hurts a lot. I've been keeping it up a lot. I've watched more TV than usual, which means I'm not getting any writing done. I'm planning to do that with the rest of my day.
