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!
