Clumsy Me

I have fallen down steps four times in one month. This last time, I slipped on some ice on my sisters' front steps and down I went. We were at my nephew's birthday party and I forgot a present in the car. I went out to get it, slipped and fell down 4 steps. I bruised and scrapped both elbows and broke my tailbone. I didn't do much Sunday so it didn't feel any worse, but Monday, I was in so much pain I could hardly move. Tuesday morning, I went to the doctor. He gave me some pain pills and anti-inflammatory pills. He said it would be 4-6 weeks before it healed and I may have twinges of pain for a few months. That will teach me to watch my step. And this is the week that David started his internship. It has been hard because David's truck broke down last Thursday and we have not gotten the parts to fix it yet. I took him to work yesterday and today because I needed the van. The boys and I took him to work at 7:30am, then picked him up and took him straight to his internship at 4:30pm, then picked him up at 10:00pm and bring him home to sleep. At least, when we pick him up, we get to see him during the day. But this morning, after we dropped David off at work, I had to pull over on the side of the road and throw up, because my meds made me sick.
