Ok, I'm exhausted and in a lot of pain at the moment. All 3 of us fell out there tonight before the driveway was sanded. Sweetie fell about 4-5 times, Mom fell twice but didn't get hurt, I fell once but was already on my way down to help Sweetie so I didn't get hurt, although I had to crawl on the ice to get back as it was so slippery (about 25-30 feet of crawling over ice with a good layer of water over it). Needless to say, the 3 of us were soaked clean through. So now we are dry and tired, and ready for bed. Sweetie ended up with no broken bones and no fractures. Everything is just really swollen and it looks like he has 2 knees on his left leg at the moment (which also happens to be his really bad knee). He's got a brace to wear for a week and has to use crutches for a week as well (moving is going to be fun). Luckily he's got 3 sets of crutches so I was able to get him a set right away. He also has to rest and keep his leg elevated as much as possible for the next week and ice it a few times a day. Oh man, the reason I'm in more pain tonight is because when Mom fell the 2nd time (I didn't see the first) I put the ice spikes (cleats whatever you want to call them on) and went out to help her out. She leaned on me big time all the way to the house (she was about 50ft or so from the house at the time). Also, when Sweetie fell I had to help him as well. He crawled to the snowbank and was able to get up with my help as it wasn't slippery there, but he had to heavily lean on me until we got to the living room where he could sit down. Keep in mind Sweetie is 6ft tall and almost 300 lbs (He's lost 45lbs, I'm so proud of him!). So tomorrow we're going to our regular Thursday counseling session and then I'm going to see my orthopedic surgeon who will most likely schedule my shoulder surgery. I'm going to make sure it's scheduled after I move.
News on the apartment front, all that's left is the permission form for the cats. That doctor that needs to sign it only works on Wednesdays and Thursdays and I think they were closed today because of the horrible weather because I called a few times and nobody answered. I'll call again tomorrow from the road.
Wow, tomorrow is Valentine's day. I told Sweetie all I wanted from him is for him to write me a nice romantic letter. He told me all he wants is for me to cuddle with him. After the day we have I can't blame him. We're going to have a week of cuddling and watching tv together. If he becomes too whiney I just may come here and whine. LOL
Well, now I have to go to bed so I can get some sleep for a big day of getting meds and going to doctors appointments.
**hugs and love**
