After the Fall

Today has just been a SWELL day! One of those kind where if I could get my hands on a tranquilizer, I’d take it quick, but then.....I wouldn’t be able to because I can’t get my teeth unclenched! Grrrrrr!

Pounding out my thoughts on this keyboard will have to suffice for a way to release my frustration, since it’s illegal for me to choke out those idiots who are pissin’ me off today! Normally, I am a very calm person, the kind that my oldest daughter says you always want near you during an emergency. But today, there’s just been too much "attitude" from those that I’ve had to deal with today. You know….problems with their tone of voice, or the way they "deliver" the message. A little sugar coating goes a long way when telling a person you can’t or won't do something that they’ve asked you to do….be polite, smile and say I am sorry, offer an alternative or something, etc.

So, like I said, it was….a SWELL day, which really was a spill-over from the day before. Yesterday, Papa fell AGAIN, for the second time in just a few weeks. This time it was in the house, and he twisted his ankle pretty bad.

Of course, yesterday he says it’s just a "little sprain", but he spent the whole day and evening in bed. Mind you, he just got out of the hospital Saturday, so the fact that he was in bed after the fall wasn’t too alarming.

But this morning, he said he couldn’t walk and his FOOT hurt all night long. He asked me to take Ab to school, which is about his only activity anymore. I checked out his foot and ankle and told him that I’d take him to the doctor. He said he’d be able to drive himself and he didn’t want me to take off any more time from work. He promised me he’d call the doctor and get it checked out.

But, did he do it???? NOOOOOO! He said he didn’t want to go to the doctor and he laid in that bed allllll day long, without eating or drinking anything. Which also means he didn’t take any of his medications.

Arrrgggghhh!
