My Single Mom Life

I think it's time to get some of those bathtub stickies or some other kind of safety equipment for the kitchen floor after what I did on Wednesday afternoon.

Sebastian and I had taken a walk to the corner store, come back, I started to make dinner, washed some dishes, we ate dinner, I watched a little tv, and then I went into the kitchen to toss my soda can in the recycle bucket and get a new one, and I didn't see the water on the floor, and I slipped with my left foot, tried to grab the counters, but couldn't stop myself from falling.
I came down wicked way hard on my right knee, heard and felt something like a knuckle popping in my right hip, and pulled like every single muscle in my lower back.
It's been on fire since, I can't lay on my right side at all, my right hip is just so freaking sore.

All of the floors in this house that don't have carpet, like the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and now my bedroom, are terrazzo, and when they are wet, they are a bit slippery.
The smallest bit of water makes it like an ice skating rink.
I need to put something down on the floors, not throw rugs, because those can slip really easily and then I'll be up-ended and land on my back which is worse than landing on my knees.
I think I just need to get a whole bunch of those bathtub stickies, and stick them all over the terrazzo floors to prevent any more accidents like I did late Wednesday afternoon.
It really sucked.

But this gave me a lot of time to watch movies.
We watched and absolutely LOVED Religulous!
Bill Maher is not only funny in this, he's truthful, and he doesn't just go after one or two religions, he goes after every single one, he speaks to a person of every faith, and it's not just a funny movie, it's a movie with a message, a very powerful one.
I highly recommend it.

We also watched Body of Lies which was really good, and we also watched The Princess Bride, (thank you Katy) and every time we watch it, we love it.
I think we've now watched the dvd 3 times since getting it this past week.
It's just one of those movies that makes you smile no matter what kind of mood you started watching it in.

I'm still not 100%, I am having a lot of trouble sitting up here, my lower back is freaking crazy sore, my right hip too, I have a massive headache, and I'm exhausted.
I've barely slept at all in the last few days.
Being in so much pain makes it near impossible to sleep, so I have huge bags under my eyes, and I'm just wiped out, totally wiped out.
I really hope I get some sleep soon, even just an hour soon, I need some sleep in a bad way.
I DO have an MRI and CT scan scheduled for Wednesday morning, so if I did injure something in the fall, they will find it.
That's been scheduled for about a month now, that's why I didn't go to the ER or anything, I knew I'd be getting the proper test done soon, and without all of the hassle of going to the ER.
Every single time I go to the ER, they check my vitals in triage, my blood pressure is always crazy high, they freak out, they don't listen to me about how long it's been this high, the meds I take for it, and so they freak, rip my shirt off, stick all of those little pads all over me, do an EKG, do a sonogram of my heart, they start prepping me for an angiogram which is really invasive, and then they say, "Oh, you didn't have a heart attack", and then they do an xray of what I came in for, they see all of the titanium, freak out over that, and then they tell me I need to see my surgeon, that my spine fusion is far too complicated for them to handle.
It's totally pointless for me to go to the local hospital for anything more than absolutely necessary.

Ok, off to get some more rest, will answer emails and such when I can.
Later days.
