I was in so much pain Thursday night. I can't lie flat on my back and have no strength in my arms to roll myself over because the pain that radiates in the my back. Even lifting my tiny baby hurts because of the pain in my back. I went to the doctor's yesterday and they did x-rays on my hips and my spine and luckily nothing is broken. That's the good news! They think it's severe muscle strain and bruising and it's just gonna take time to heal.
It turns out, I would've ended up at the doctors eventually anyway, because I was also developing mastitis, completely unrelated to the fall. Luckily we caught that in the early stages. When I got to the doctors I already had a fever, which I think was contributing to the over-all achiness I was feeling after the fall. It was beginning to progress, even while i was waiting for the xrays, so it was easy to diagnose and I'm so glad I was at the doctors so I could get an antibiotic quickly to stop it before the symptoms got any worse.
My husband was concerned that the fall was related to my Parkinson's. Coincidentally, I had a bad fall when Joey was exactly the same age, only he was in my arms at the time. That fall is what finally prompted me to go to a neurologist to find out what was wrong. A few months later (after 2 years with symptoms) I was diagnosed with the Parkinsons'. Honestly, I think this accident was completely unrelated to the disease. I think I simply was walking too fast on the wet porch. It could've happened to anyone.
So they gave me a prescription for Motrin 800 and they want me to combine that with Tylenol 500. I'm in a lot of pain still and move very, very slowly. The medication helped last night and I slept better than I thought I would. Hopefully this won't last long.
That's it; the story of my fall in the Fall, lol.
As for being in love, here's a few new pictures of Daniel. And to see more go to http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...&uid=144785 Enjoy
This second picture was taken last week at my oldest daughter Breezy's last Varsity Volleyball game. I took a onesie of Daniel's and ironed on this picture of Breezy with the "Go Breezy #16" below the picture, lol.

Oh no, so sorry that happened and you are suffering. I have fallen a few times myself and as you are falling it seems in slow motion and you just want to stop it! Ugh.
