Monday Magic – Inspiring Blogs for You

Monday Magic

 

Happy May Day! Can’t quite believe we are already in May – or that the weather here in the south of England has been more like January than late April.  Duncan has been away with year 5 (9-10 year olds) on an activity week and has returned absolutely shattered and full of cold, and the rest of the household is supposed to be revising this bright bank holiday!  Engineering third year exams begin this week, A level English lit course work is due in tomorrow and the youngest has to finish her art portfolio and complete an art exam tomorrow.  The house is a mess!!

So what better way for me…and you…to get away from the stresses of the household than with a cuppa and some more inspiring blog posts from the CIB community.  This week I have included something about EDS awareness, as a zebra myself, and also be sure to check out #ProjChronicWisdom and #May12BlogBomb.  Enjoy!!

Monday Magic

 

Good evening and apologies for the delay in today’s MONDAY MAGIC.  I have been otherwise engaged in Accident and Emergency following a Potsie faint yesterday afternoon – my Smart crutches held onto my arms as I fell leaving me with dislocated shoulders, elbow alongside a hip, knee and ankle.  One shoulder was not playing ball and by this morning my hand was swollen and resembling navy cottage cheese, my neck and pec muscles were in spasm and my arm was twitching like a paper fortune telling fish.

An xray confirmed what we already knew – and more as it was a particularly “odd” dislocation according to the consultant.  A dose of IV fentanyl & paracetamol, midazolam to relax the muscles and knock me out and 2 burly doctors did the trick.  We did smile though when told to go back to fracture clinic in 10 days – it will be out several times by then!  Feel like I’ve been hit by a truck tonight – I hurt so many bits in the grand collapse that Duncan is banning all walks now!!
