Life Happens

Date: Dec 22, 2009      Category: General

The past few days have been insane. I woke up this morning feeling as if a fleet of buses ran over me. With my husband’s sprain ankle to deal with, I’ve had to pick up all household and parenting duties. He can do a few things off the couch, like change the TV channels. Other than that, he’s constantly miserable and in pain. At his doctor’s appointment today, more fractures (or chips) were found. The emergency room scan found only one, but the techs never bothered to scan his entire foot. They only scanned the ankle part, and he has at least two additional fractures below what we thought was the only one. So now he has to have an MRI done this week before any definite prognosis can be made. It does not help that it’s right around Christmas and every doctor’s office is short on staff.

He’s obviously unable to work and has no sick or paid vacation days. So now we are stuck with one income for several weeks or at least until his vacation kicks in. At least we are the type of people who manage money carefully and save up. We’ll be okay and I’m not hitting the panic button just yet. Maybe I have my finger on it but I’m not ready to scream. Life happens at the strangest moments and when you least want something terrible to occur. The timing could not be worse. I feel bad for him but I still feel like kicking him for being a dumbass. And I certainly do not need more work. I have 10 articles, 6 blog posts and a website to finish up. All in a matter of days, and I also have to research light oak furniture. So no play time or days off for me, there are bills to be paid.
