2020 is a hot mess....

On thursday I slipped on our wet loading dock.

Fell 3-4 ft onto soft ground on my left forearm.

In 2007 I had 2 plates and a ton of screws put in that forearm after a wreck.

There was 1 1/2" of space between my wrist and the plates.

I broke both bones, snapped prev. plate off and bent the other plate.

Covid 19 was a new experience in the ER and the resulting surgery.

I know have new plates and screws I think.

That was the plan the surgeon discussed prior to knocking me out.

With noone allowed to enter hospital with me and my surgery ending at midnight I never finalized the actual diagnosis after he opened up my mess of an arm.

In 10-14 days I guess I will get the specifics.

For now I am carrying a cider block around in my sling.

I am not sleeping, eating much or happy .

This too shall pass just not soon enough for my liking.

Sad Sidenote...

The day before my 79 yr old Dad had another stroke.

I found out in the hospital ER the next day.

He has a blood clot on his heart and one on his lungs.

Those are a result of a fall the previous week or so when he bruised his heart falling and his pace maker/defibrillator slammed into his chest.

He is now in a nursing home/rehab center to recuperate.

I think it is a death sentence considering the virus.

He is dazed and confused and my heart is broken.

He hung my moon and whole universe.

I am mourning him while he breaths but lost him a long time ago.
