This is the view that *I* have from where I sit:
You see, we just can't seem to get enough of the wonderful hospitals around here! I missed out at being with Moira so much I thought I needed my own turn to see how it all works :-)
Yeah, pretty cool huh? NOT!! That my friends is a photo of an immobilized knee. A broken knee cap to be particular. I am to make sure that I keep my leg *straight* at all times. Emphasis comes from from the nurse practitioner that I saw.
I really don't feel like typing out the whole story in detail, but here are the key points:
We were in Target looking for shoes for Flannery, we were moving on from there and Jonah went to run ahead of me.
I tripped, with the baby in my arms.
I did all I could to try to keep the baby from hitting the floor.
I fell on my left knee.
Baby still got a bonk on the head. But he is fine, we had him checked out at the hospital as well.
My patella has a crack that runs from one side straight to the other. I risk it snapping in half should I bend my knee.
Lots and lots of fun......that is a joke :-)
All of our summer plans, what ever they might be, are now totally changed! Lickety split just like that.
The end.
