Where is Faith?

I’ve been out of touch for a bit, rather hit and miss….here’s why. I fell on my big head ! and messed up my back. It was an award winning fall really. I grabbed the curtains as I went down and snapped the curtain rod in half. As I went down further I smacked my big ol’ head on the trash can then fell to the side smacking it on the wall. I landed on my bad knee too. It was truly award winning. I couldn’t duplicate that if I wanted to. When I hit the floor, finally, I knew for certain I was hurt. There was no way I was going to get up and simply walk away from that and only be soar for a few days….not after that performance. Come to find out I did some spinal damage and nerve damage in my right knee. I’ve also got a sprained wrist and seriously bruised pride. So, this is why I’ve been hit and miss lately. Friday I have an MRI and will have x-rays then I’ll return for the results a few days later. How does a fall result in this? Degenerative joint disease…....Good times I’ve had, real good times. I also have Lupus and RA so it’s been totally fun these last two weeks. So….. if you saw me regularly but haven’t for a bit this is why. Hopefully I will be back to “normal” soon.

later taters,
Faith

    Yikes, Faith!! I’m so sorry you took such a fall, and on top of problems you already have! Please take care and I hope the tests on Friday lead to a good course of treatment.

    Faith, things get better, the bad times are to strengthen us. You have a great name. My sister has lupus and is going in for a knee replacement this month so I understand in part, some of your problems.
