Yesterday on Monday, I had a fall right in my own house and it was a very hard fall. Today I am feeling the after effects. I CAN’T BELIEVE I DID THAT! I was eating some of the lamb stew that I made and had some toast in the toaster oven of which I forgot about. It started burning and smoking up the house. I started rushing to get the black toast out of the oven and get it out before the smoke alarm went off, but I was too late. Then I rushed around to open windows and doors and turn the oven fan on. Then I ran to get the regular fan to set it where it would blow on the smoke alarm to make it stop blaring. It is SO LOUD! I grabbed the fan and as I was rushing to the hallway, the cord of the fan was dangling behind and caught in the leg of the computer table, and jerked out of my hand, but the momentum threw me forward and I fell straight forward flat and hard. My wrists are hurting as well as multiple areas of my body such as my neck, back and legs. I hit my chest as well, so I was concerned about my surgery site. I DON’T NEED THIS!

I went to my radiation after that and told the girls about it and they thought my breast had a weakened area on it as well, so they recommended that I go see the plastic surgeon just to have him check it out. So now I have an appointment to see him tomorrow. It is probably fine, but I really did fall hard. Better to be safe than just ignore it. I had my acupuncture appointment afterwards and told the therapist, and he concentrated on the areas where I was aching. It gave me some temporary relief, which I am glad to say.

I was able to attend a Women’s Networking Christmas party in the evening last night and we brought our husbands too. We went last year, and Pete really enjoyed it. It was really fun this year. I sat at my client’s table and most everyone at the table was a dog person. The couple who breed Schipperke dogs and also Corgi puppies. There was even a lady at our table that adopted a Woods Humane dog that I took home for a sleep over, and I had showed it to her. It was love at first sight. She was happy to see me, and she said that “Sage”, her dog’s new name was doing very well and she was happy with her. It is always wonderful to hear happy stories with adopted dogs. I will have to tell Steve at Woods about it. He will be delighted.

Today, my body is complaining terribly from the fall. I took a muscle relaxant and I think I will go rest my back now. I went to my make up radiation appointment for the treatment where the machine malfunctioned. So it was a partial treatment, but making up what I missed at that appointment and completing the series. Tomorrow will be the beginning of my booster treatments with five treatments total. That means my last treatment will be next Wednesday and I will be finished with my radiation treatments. My poor skin is so sensitive and I have an angry area that is quite sore and red. I have been putting aloe vera and the topical steroid lotion on it. Hopefully it will heal quickly when I am done with all these treatments.

I am going to go rest now. I am aching quite a bit, but hope it is very temporary. I don’t need any new events thank you very much!
