Hi Friends. I have had a rough last 10 days. Kinda felt like I went to Hell and back. So, this is why I am posting sundown and sunrise photos. Today is a better day !!! Last week I had a terrible fall on the ice walking down an icey driveway with a vacum in my hand. My feet flew out from under me and I landed on my ribcage onto the vacum. Carrying a vacum outside you may ask??? I have a cleaning business and was heading to work. I lay in the driveway for 5 minutes in extreme pain with no neighbors around to call out to. Finally managed to get in the house and call a nearby friend to take me to the hospital. What is your level of pain they asked? on 1-10. Panting, I say 10 plus. They got me in right away since I was white as a sheet and hyperventalating. 5 fractured ribs, halfway colapsed lung !! Well, my hospital stay turned into a week from hell. They pumped me full of pain meds, stuck a tube in my chest to help the lung. That night the vomitting started and didnt stop for 7 days !! Imagine fractured ribs, nausea , vomitting. No fun. Apparently I had what is called an ileus which is a numbing in the bowel area due to surgery or trauma. Well, friends , let me tell you , at times the nausea and vomitting felt worse then the pain. Also, I do NOT do well with pain meds. Very sensitive stomach to that sort of stuff. On night 5 I felt like I was dying or maybe just wished I would. I asked all my friends to pray for me or at least send positve thoughts to the universe as I was at my end of the rope. Guess what?? I awoke the next morning with lots of response on my facebook page. Prayers and all that and I DID feel better. Lost the grim feelings of death that I had the night before.
I am finally home !!! 8 days in the hospital of which 6 of them where pure Hell. Good way to lose weight. Dont eat for a week and if you eat just throw it up. That is how it was.
But , I have never felt so good to be home as I do today !!!!! That is the sunset !!! I have lots of pain still but the other things are clearing up.
Amazing how things can happen so quickly.
Please friends be careful on the ice!!!!
