E got his stitches removed from his head and now that I can see his laceration better, it looks nothing like I thought it did. But it is healing well. We finally obtained the police report after 12 days.
After 45 minutes this morning at the doctor's office they finally got everything set up and I got to see a doctor!! YAY! I like him, you just have to listen to his stories (LOL) way better than having to have a doc that doesn't care or a bad bedside manner. I spent all morning there, and also really liked the nurse I had and the desk staff. What a wonderful blessing!! I went in prepared for a fight and was met with "what can we do to get you better", "and it's gonna take us some time if you want to get in today but I think we can do it", you don't always run into that.
Dr. I reviewed all my xrays done the night of the accident and my cat scan. I got some new xrays done today, why do they make you turn like a pretzel to take a film? LOL Nothing is broke and instead of some swelling going down I have a few places that it's not and a few new places that have started hurting. New plan of action, he thinks I need to give the head longer to heal, I'm just pushing it too much and too far, same with pretty much everything else too.
Got a steriod shot today, my first! It is suppose to help with the swelling and pain. (huummm I think my hands are feeling better already...maybe) The pills they gave me for that previously made me sick so I had to stop taking them.
They say this shot will last for a while.....bad thing about it you will gain 3-5 pounds...
HELLO what chic wants that!
Good news, they tell me it will go away (but still).
I asked my nurse to give me the shot in my numb hip...it didn't hurt, but HELLO afterwards for a hour it did. Man the things a girls gotta go through to feel better so she can start putting on her makeup and fixin her hair to look good LOL. Got some new meds and a fancy sling to keep my left arm immobile and stay off my feet as much as possible (yeah easier said than done). Gotta give it about a week and a half to two weeks and go back and see Dr. I for a new assessment. There are some things he is watching and if some of those things aren't better with my knees or elbow, without going into all the details I will get some MRI's done and could be looking at some surgery.
I told him I've deemed myself Super Woman since I flew through the air (LOL) and we can say we walked away from this wreck. He agreed I must be some kind of super woman since he knew I had to have been hurting this past week and kept on keeping on. I have some popping in my knees and shoulder. I should fit right in with hunting season here, E says I sound like a gun going off. My doctor is a older guy, like a big teddy bear, he told us instead of getting a bike in our mid-life crisis or whatever you want to call it we should have gotten a sports car! (yeah he doesn't know me to well with the lead foot and all does he!)
Got a long day tomorrow, but hopefully it all goes well and we finally get Eric on his road to recovery. I feel confident in Dr. Collins, I just hope when he gets in there it all goes smoothly since he said it was a complicated surgery.
I think I need to get some duct tape or something to hog tie E down here at the house afterwards. He went out yesterday to "exercise" his left hand and arm.....shooting pistols.
God give me the strength to wrestle with him I think I'm gonna need it!
Oh yeah, someone turned in front of us today.....yes again....I'm started to wonder if we aren't a magnet! Anyway, it was the only time today when we were out that I was totally in panic mode, my heart went in my throat and was poundin something crazy like. But for the most part I think I made it pretty good today. Tomorrow, well that may be a different story, E's brother B is driving us to Little Rock.
B combined with Little Rock traffic may not make for a good combination LOL.
Eric can't eat after midnight. If you know Eric and his stomach that could turn into torture for the rest of us. That Sunday when we left the hospital after the accident his first request was to obtain food....soon!
Beam me up.........Superwoman's getting re-charged!!
I got to start physical therapy.
