All I want for Christmas???

Three weeks ago, I had a bad fall.  In front of our home, on the sidewalk, I tripped.  There was nothing wrong with the sidewalk, I didn't lift my foot high enough.  I had on my brand new Vionic walkers and the soles are thick. 

We were going out and Cec wanted to show me something in the front garden.  I fell so fast, I didn't have time to react.  Cec watched me go down but he was too far away to help me.  

Thankfully, I didn't break any bones!  However, I had bruising all over.  My face was heavily scraped and bloody and looked like I was in a bar fight.  I had cuts inside and outside my mouth.  My front tooth was chipped and the pain in my chin and gums was horrible.  I kept telling myself, arms, legs and phone are fine, you are fortunate!

Yesterday I went to the dentist.  I waited until the scars healed.  Lots of rules for going to the dentist.  I must say I felt safe.  They were in hazmat suits complete with blue booties.  Goggles, masks and face shields.  They have a new ventilation system that is super noisy.  Trying to listen to what my wonderful dentist was saying was hard.  

I chipped two teeth, not one.  My two front teeth are full of hairline fractures and may turn brown.  If they do, it's root canals and crowns.  I just have to wait.

I've had problems eating but it is getting better.  Corn on the cob and apples will be eaten differently.  I know how hockey players feel.  

I always try to look at the positive side and I am so thankful I didn't break any bones!   Bruises fade and teeth are easily repaired.  Oh yes, I've lost five pounds and Cec checked and I didn't damage the sidewalk! 

Is it ever going to happen?

The boondoggle of the George Massey Tunnel replacement has gone on for so many years and as of today, nothing has been done.  All we hear is...
