Sunday Funnies

Well, I thought things could not get more interesting in my life… but I was WRONG!

:Late last night, I got out of bed to make my way to the bathroom and WHAM! I lost my balance and collapsed on the hard fake wood floor. I landed on my left knee HARD! Jason heard it in the other room. He helped me up and back into bed because I could not put ANY weight on it. Upon waking in the morning, I managed to get dressed and brush my teeth but as I was doing that I got this EXCRUCIATING pain in my left knee and literally could not move. Jason got me into my desk chair which has wheels on it and wheeled me over to the elevator, down three floors, through the apartment lobby and out the front door, almost dumping me out when we hit the brick walkway. We then went to the emergency room where I spent half of the day. Three X-rays later, the doctor told me that nothing was broken BUT there was extreme bruising and swelling under the kneecap. They wrapped it in an ace bandage, tried to get me to walk with crutches – well, because my compressed spinal cord makes me lose my balance a lot, the crutches were a BIG no – I almost fell again trying to learn how to use them. So, the gave me a WALKER, charged me a $150.00 copay, and sent me on my way…

After dropping me off at the emergency room, Jason had to go to the auto mechanic for an appointment he had. Well, they ended up having to replace something called a “coolant reservoir and hose” because it had a massive leak. Well, luckily (I guess), Jason had just gotten paid so he had the $908.00 to have it fixed, which TOTALLY drained his bank account – so now he has no money to pay his other bills. Not to mention that rent is due on Tuesday. Fun times!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤕🤕🤕🥺🥺🥺

Did you ever just want to not be here anymore? I am not suicidal, but if a giant asteroid came falling from the sky and slammed into my head, I don’t know that I would be that upset about it. lol But seriously, do you ever feel like life is throwing just a LITTLE too much crap your direction? If you can relate, PLEASE tell me how you get through those times?

Anyway, I have to say that I am SO happy and lucky to have Jason (and Bonnie, of course) in my life and I am hereby publicly telling him how much he means to me and that I truly appreciate all his patience, love and support through all of this!!! He and Bonnie are my FAMILY and I LOVE them both!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry there are not as many Sunday Funnies this week. I have not been online at all so I have not found any funnies lately and the supply I have is dwindling.

Here is hoping that YOUR weekend is slightly more fun than mine! lol!

Self Portrait Saturday

Hey guys!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the end of summer! I am having good days and bad days. The constant crushing, burning pain that feel 24 hours a day/7 days a week is having a huge impact on my mental health. I know a lot of people get uncomfortable when you start talking feelings, which I think is unfortunate. Everyone deals with things that would be easier to cope with, if you talk about it with someone else. It doesn’t have to be a therapist, it could be a good friend or even your dog (or cat), Just ask Bonnie! She is a good listener and usually gives some pretty good advice!

Anyway, my bestie/roommate took a big step (for us) the other day. We went to our first cannabis dispensary to get some gummies – me, for trying to get relief from the arm and hand pain and the other Jason got them to help with concentration. It is our first time trying gummies. We have not yet taken any – We agreed to do the first one on the weekend. Wish us luck! lol. Does anyone out there have any personal experiences they would be willing to share?

Anyway, it is time for some selfies!
