So somehow I fell down my stairs and fractured the C2 vertebrae in my neck. I am SO VERY LUCKY I was not paralyzed, but just have to wear a neck brace for 30 days with NO EXERCISE. Not even walking except around the house. I just might die. Or get fat. I can go back to work next week, but unless I feel better I may not. Nurses out there, tell me why the send people home from the hospital with no pain meds? Because we would get addicted or sell it? I broke my neck and was told to take Tylenol. Ya, that will help. Not.
We have an expensive ski trip planned for 2 weeks from now. My favorite thing in the world. I should be happy my hubby, sons, and grandson will have fun, but I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself.
Plus I came home from the hospital after eating about nothing with a 5 pound weight gain. Tell me it's the IV fluids, that would make me feel better. Or maybe it's lying in bed for 2 days. I am going to have to be so careful with what I eat these next 30 days. With my love of exercise I have never had to be that careful.
I remember nothing about the fall, don't remember the paramedics in my home or the ride to the hospital. I couldn't tell the paramedics my age or the president. (Hubby said I was really tying to think hard!!)
Life happens, doesn't it?
