It has been ages since I have been here. The past week and a half have been quite busy and eventful, making it very hard to even think about getting on the computer, playing games and updating every one. I am sorry. I do hope things will go better now and I can be on here most of the time.
On March 28, Tina went to work. She was to train in the ER, learning the registration and meeting the staff, etc. She went it and put most of her stuff on her desk, then went back to her car to get something. She missed a step and fell. the wife of the head of HR saw her and stopped. She called her husband who came out with medical people, a back board and whatever else. They took her in and put her in one of the ER rooms. She was very concerned because she couldn’t feel her right arm so thought it was missing.
It turned out she had dislocated her shoulder. Long story short the doctor said he didn’t think it was broken but the swelling was preventing them getting a clear picture. Monday, the 5th of April, she went to the Orthopedic Surgeon. He believes that it is her rotator cup, but has ordered an MRI. She, on the other hand, believes that it is just a bruised muscle and will be just fine in a couple of days. This occurred March 28th and this is now April 9th. She still can’t raise her arm nor can she hold it without support, so I believe I’ll go with the rotator cup call. We are still waiting for the MRI appointment. Workman’s Comp can be a bit slow.
So she is home, sleeping in the reclines, wanting to go back to work, watching TV, and trying to do everything she isn’t supposed to do. I am working on being a good nurse, keeping house, cooking, washing, etc. And preparing for the garage sale this weekend. She has a brace to wear that is quite the deal. It even has a ball attached to the end by the hand. I told Jerry and Tammy that she was ready to come and play with the dogs. They can play ball! Finley would love it as she loves to play fetch.
It should be a good garage sale as Jerry and Tammy are, and have, brought stuff, Dottie is bringing stuff, we have stuff , Charles said he has stuff and I think Melinda, next door has stuff. it should be fun and, hopefully, profitable. At least we all will of gotten rid of things we no longer need. And the meeting and greeting people will be interesting and fun.
Today Tina has a doctor’s appointment in Knoxville so we decided to go to Cosco and get Kleenex, paper towels and toilet paper. they say it is all going up due to the tariffs, and we need it anyhow so might as well get it now. And probably coffee as we know that isn’t grown in the USA. Can’t run out of coffee!
I am hoping to get back on schedule, but if I miss a day or two, you will know that it is my nursing duties that are keeping me off the computer.
