You know when you are busy and running everywhere, trying to get things done - if you are not careful, you can sometimes have an untimely accident. Not me!!!!! Amy was running around getting ready to drive to Durham tomorrow, because she closes on the house on Friday. She decides to vacuum out her car and as she goes out the garage door, carrying the vacuum cleaner, she turns to call her dog, Buffy.
She feels herself falling, so she jumps, hits the concrete floor and hears her knee pop.
I take her to the ER - and Mom's traveling wheelchair was a big help! Everyone should have one!! The whole way we talked about what the injury could be and how it will impact the trip to Durham.
I volunteered to drive down, Amy's friend Anne volunteered to drive Amy to Durham. I also tossed out flying or going by train.
To pass the time, I texted Nancy (who went to sit with Mom), Lori, Carole and Carolyn. Carolyn called immediately back and talked to Amy and gave her diagnosis.
3 hours later - good news. No break, maybe a stretching or straining of the ligaments. (Dr. Carolyn Hardin is Correct!!) She has crutches, we will get the elastic sleeve to stabilize the knee. She is supposed to see an orthopedic - she says she will when she gets back, or maybe in Durham.
So, all is well. Oh, my tooth was a chip and not a major break. Now if this poison ivy would go away!
Be well!!!
Love, Leslie
