My unfortunate 78th birthday yesterday [View all]
I was looking forward to a birthday dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse with my roommates, but when I got out of the car I lost my balance and fell hard. Some kind people who had just arrived to have dinner helped my roommates load me in the car and off we sped to Patient First for treatment. I was in severe pain and found out I broke my clavicle. I finally got back home, had more trouble because I was one-armed, ended up in the floor, had to call the Rescue Squad for a assist and tried to sleep at my desk because I knew I would have to go to the bathroom and wouldn't be able to get up off the couch.
Not exactly a restorative night of sleep, but I got enough ibuprofen in my system that I could work around the pain. I finally got to sleep on the couch this morning around 5:30. I am completely black all over my chest from the bruising.
What a memorable birthday!!
