It is now 9:00 pm the last night of my Christmas vacation. What have I accomplished these two weeks I've been off? Not much by some people's measuring. By my own thinking, quite a lot. I got a lot of cross-stitching done on the next Christmas stocking, so that is a big step. Speaking of big steps........I didn't take one, or rather I missed one and fell kerplunk! That is why I haven't really accomplished much these two weeks. I fell so hard and bruised up my legs like never before. It was not a pretty fall, and I had to actually use my cell phone to call and get help getting up. So thankful for my phone in my pocket! But pretty embarrassing to have to call for help. But I was one hurting person. Being that I cannot in any way kneel on my right legs, getting up off the ground was pretty impossible. I am so thankful for the ladies at R Pizza Place for helping me up and getting me to my car. They also called me during the evening to make sure I was alright.
I spent the next three days just moving from my recliner to the bathroom to the bedroom. Garth was still down in Arizona until Sunday evening, so I was needing to get around by myself. And it wasn't easy. The cane was my biggest helper. I did get up on Sunday morning and went to church because of the choir program that morning. I hobbled into the chapel after 1st Ward was over and I am so glad I did because I met Uncle Royce as he came out. He stopped and gave me a kiss on my cheek. So glad I have that memory because he passed away the next Sunday morning.
Garth and Nicky came home in time for Christmas Eve. We had a slow moving Christmas morning, then we drove up to Salt Lake. We spent some time with Tammy and her kids. They were all so excited about Christmas. Kids is what makes Christmas so fun.
We weren't able to meet up with Barrett and his family this year, so we just drove on home that afternoon. Since then I have spent a day in the doctor's office trying to get answers as to why my legs don't work so well, besides taking that great fall. And yesterday we drove to Spanish Fork so I could get a tooth pulled, along with a growth taken off my lip. He sent it in for a biopsy, but I am sure it will be just a weird thing, since it has been on my lip since forever. Now I have to get the dark spot on the top of my head checked out and I should be ready to go for another week or so.
I missed seeing our Logan and Arizona kids this holiday season. We saw Tyler and Grayson on Facetime and skype for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. We talked with Morgan and Max on Christmas day. Isaac and Eli weren't really up to talking quite yet. Maybe next year. It was Maxwell's birthday on the 29th so we were able to talk with him. We sure do love those phone calls.
So tomorrow I have to go back to work. It will be good to be back to a schedule again. But I'm worried about being able to get around and using my legs. And I am terrified of falling. I will be finding ways to keep inside and keeping warm.
I do have one request: I have someone looking at my blog from a service called 'Adelphia' based out of Middletown, Maryland. This person is coming to my blog from Chelsie Young's blog, (she is my niece.) I'm glad you are enjoying my blog and you are more then welcome to continue, but I am just wondering who you are. Could you please just leave a comment or tell me how you became interested? I asked Chelsie if she knew anyone in Maryland and she said she doesn't, so she is as surprised and puzzled as I am. Thanks for the information about yourself! I hope you continue to visit my blog.
