So on new years eve day before work Cole and I decided to go for a walk and we walked around for 2 hours in the snow and had a great time. When we got home I slipped and fell on ice in my driveway. My feet came out from under me so fast next thing i knew I was on my back  and landed on my shoulder. I herd a crack and instant pain. Cole reached for me but I told him not to touch me. eventually i was able to get up and I figured i could shake it off. I went to work that night and worked the grave yard and the pain just kept getting worse. Went to a massage in the morning and she said she thought my bones where bruised in my arm , shoulder and ribs. I made a physio appt for the next day because I did not want to wait in a clinic for hours. When I got to physio at 3 yesterday and the physio started to examine me shoulder I fainted. I have only ever fainted once when i was 13. I was unable to drive and had to have my sister in law come pick me up and I was so scared I decided to go to emergency.  The emergency room is a lot different then Victoria ,  in Victoria there is one triage and one big waiting room where everyone has to sit in no matter what they have. Here they have the check in counter triage and then they filter you into different waiting rooms and areas . When I got there there was a young family that came in after me. The young mom was a mess and her baby daughter was injured  Turns out the mom tripped over the dog and fell down the stairs with the baby and the baby fell 7 stairs and landed on her face. I let them go ahead of me before i learnt that.  After they had checked in I started to get really hot and dizzy and nauseated , i bent down on my knees in the line and the other people helped me to get up and sit in a chair and then I fainted again. They took me right in on a stretcher. I had ex-rays they suspected i cracked my shoulder blade or had a fracture. my hole numb was swollen and i was in so much pain. They gave me a shot of morphine but it did nothing for my pain. Cole got to the hospital at 8 pm. I was not aloud to eat or drink and I was getting really dehydrated. So they started me on a liter of saline. I kept fainting every time I got up or they tried to move my arm so i was on the stretcher. I had to have an EKG of my heart for the fainting and some blood drawn. My veins are very small and everyone always has a really tough time the tech did not believe me. She ended up having to use a pediatric butterfly and take it from my hand. She was considering trying to get blood from my feet thankfully she was able to get enough from my hand.  turns out no fracture or cracks. Doctor said I have a hematoma in my shoulder, a brachial tear in my arm muscles and the bone is bruised  I also pinched a nerve in my neck so my arm is in a sling now . I was not able to leave until I stopped fainting  I also have to follow up with a neurologist in 4 weeks. I am off work for 5 days and then I can go back to physio and massage.  we eventually left at 1230 and home around 1 am.  I left my car at physio when I went to hospital so today I had to go pick it up. Cole got up at 530 to go to work I knew he was to tired. I tried to sleep more but my head is pounding and I cant get comfortable any way I move or lay to long makes my arm swell or go numb. 

I got up around 830 and Cole came home around 10 am because he was to tried to work. He drove me to take my car . Even with my arm in a sling I was able to drive safely and took my doctors note into work, Then I got gas for my car and a stranger helped me fill up my windshield wiper fluid. after I got groceries and had to have them carried out the car but I got everything I needed to make dinner for Tracy and Kenny  First time I was getting to cook for coles mom. Cole was making the ham though. I made roasted potatoes and veggies in apple juice and spices. as well as a salad. before they came over thought I was restless and had a migraine so i started cleaning. I swept and washed all the floors and vacumned and loaded the dish washer. Then I laid down for an hour but my mind was racing. I think it was from the Tramadol I cannot sleep and get insomnia when I take it. I am also taking 800 mg of Motrin twice a day.   Tracy and kenny got here at 5 and we had dinner and then watched the remake of total recall . They just left and now I am catching up on my blog and some things on facebook. I have a really bad headache and it really hurts to type. I am surprised I am still awake I am so tried and almost fell asleep during the movie.  I defiantly over did it today. I did way to much and I am paying for it now. I dont want to take any more Tramadol  It use to help my back but I think its what is giving me my headache and making me restless. 

I have no appetite and did not eat anything all day, just my formula and my water. untill I dinner I had a bit but little appetite  I am really thirsty though. I  cannot seem to drink enough water. I think I am going to do a level tomorrow to see how being off track this last week.  I got paid today to so hopefully I can order some low pro food. I need pasta and wheatstarch. I am thinking also that I might try the dietary specialties lasagna. Tracy gave me a recipie I can use with the noodles and now i have my vegan cheese so it would be something new to try and I am kind of excited. Hopefully special products have some. 

well thats all for tonight, my wrist is hurting and my arm is getting very tight. Fingers crossed I can get some sleep tonight!! 

Good night all,
