Thank you Jesus.
Yesterday, as Storm was leaving I said: I'll walk up and open and close the gate, as it was a beautiful morning...
He drove out and down the Road and before he was even at the bottom of the hill I went to close the gate, turned to look at something and lost my balance, the next thing I know my leg was under my back and I was in excruciating pain, with the dogs slobbering me- what are you playing at mom??
I reached for my phone and it was NOT in my pocket.. I knew Storm would not hear me scream.
I called the dogs and between Arrow & Athena, after a few moments I was able to at least get up.. the pain - unbelievable.
I thought.. I broke something.. my long driveway suddenly got a lot longer. Between adrenalin and concern for not getting home (already being snacked on by mosquitos) I started the long journey. lol funny not funny. I crawled and inched myself - it took about 45 minutes, when finally in - I made it to the sofa and fell and got the shakes and started sobbing..
I sent Storm a text, he told me to go to the hospital, I went to bed.. when I tried to get up again, I could not.
I told him don't come home- no point I'll be fine.
He called Norm to come home and take me to the hospital around 1. He bought me crutches BUT due to my arthritic hands- I can't use them, I can't grip or put weight on them. Norm carried me to the car, he is not as strong as Storm.
At the Hospital
Norm said: there is no way you broke it , you would never have made it home...
Me: STFU.. you don't know my pain tolerance ( especially because of TN) or faith in Jesus.
Then the Dr. came back (Dr. George, nice guy): Yep! You broke your knee... & You can not have surgery due to your severe arthritis. WTF? I shall see that - as a BLESSING in disguise.
The entire time I was inching home I repeated: Jesus help me.. one more step.. over and over.
I felt calm -albeit in insane pain, determined and knew Jesus would help me- not until I was on the sofa did I start sobbing.
Anyway.. yes I am bummed.. 4 months possible healing and I'm to get lots of 'RICE' -Rest Ice, elevate..I forget the E
A bone specialist in a few.. why if he can't do anything I don't know.. we'll see. I feel bad for my girls waiting on me to explore the day. Good thing I have a dog door and they are trained to come when I call. The thought of not getting into the forest has me very bummed. Storm said he knows me, and he doesn't think it will take me that long.
I hope not.. Praise Jesus!
I also refused pain medication, they gave me something there but when they suggest some to take home - NO thanks.
I have cannabis & psilocybin and I will be o.k... pain is a part of life.. and a lesson.
I see this as a good opportunity to follow Gods direction and get some rest, go within, paint.. pause.
Before Norm left today he knew to bring me the essentials, a bucket to pee if I can't make it, my bibles, water, coffee, cranberry juice. I figure it's also a good time to fast! Just getting here- to the computer was exhausting today.. so it's time to take a break... pun intended.
The MORAL of this story - With Jesus I can do all things!!!
I made it home with a broken knee! I am so proud of me.
I can't believe I DID make it back - look how long that driveway is and more to the door!
I still love my driveway & woods and am inspired to heal fast so I can walk them both.
Today I will thank Jesus & enjoy this day The Lord has made - from the sofa. Waaaaaaa
& if any reading want to offer prayers- they are much appreciated!
I always say (as you know) "I walk with Jesus" - I am MORE convinced today & for the rest of this journey:
Jesus walks with me & a broken knee.
Enjoy this day the Lord has made!
