Ouch!

Right now I am sitting in the waiting room of the Bronson LakeView Hospital's emergency room. 

One of my caretakers cut herself while preparing pico de gallo.  (She does make a mean salsa.). The knife slipped and cut her finger. We know that it cut through her nail. We do not know the extent of her injury. Although, I suspect that she now has a better idea since she has been with the doctor for awhile. 

Since she was bleeding profusely and in considerable pain, I felt the need to drive her. The struggle to get me down the stairs with my walker and then to get my walker into the car was time-consuming and exhausting. But we did it!

How quickly events can devolve. We all live on a tenuous edge - the edge of a knife. A slip can change our moments, our lives.

  1. It's true, it's true,
    But I can't let myself dwell of that concept for too long or I become debilitated

  2. I'm so glad you were there for her, and that she was there for you too. I hope you were both able to get some rest last night.
