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!

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!
