Well today is Monday the 11th with many surprises in the last few days looking back over the last few days it was like I went into a fog then I was either sleeping or in a sleep wake mode. I woke up Sunday more alert and got started to read an old Travis Mc Gee 60s trash book which was the first time I felt like reading and my mind was less clouded or as Sharen says out in la la land. Today I feel very good and I think my mind is clear or at least as clear as normal. When I look back I kind of went into a tunnel and now feel like coming back out I am alert and feel well but decided I would complete my blog before I pick up my book. Saturday started as a normal day when out of the blue I slipped coming out of the bathroom and took a header. Our body's normally run at a fairly low resolution as far as input goes but when an exciting change starts you go into a high resolution mode so walking out of the bathroom pulling the IV pole with my left hand then with my right hand reach for door handle and start out the door as the door swings out right foot slips on the small metal ramp which is under the door so we have a system out of control and gravity has full control, you get to watch with few control options only eye inputs. So when the right foot slips and solid grip on door that is swinging out you are over balance and the trip starts first you see is your top body going to land on floor no obstructsons, glance to right and lags seemed wrong and twisted as the fall ended not sure how left lag got that way but thought it could be broken so untwisted and lag seemed good but looked at foot and noticed my this little piggy ran home toe was at a 90 degree angle to my foot so I pushed back in position I thought. Then Sharen noticed blood under my foot and I looked at my foot and I only had three toes she looked and last two toes were piled up and with out a moments thought she moved them back in line and they seemed to hold and work. Sharen she was going to call the nurse but I was blocking the door and I wanted to asses the damage so she helped me up into a chair got me away from door and hit the call button witch started a flurry of activity with nurses checking blood issue and checking toe issue and one going to page the Dr. who came with in moments and ordered IV bag for occasion, PA to stitch cut on foot bottom and set up for xrays. Well I am back to the room resting in just over and hour and an hour later we got the results that no bones were broken which was unbelievable but in reality my toes seemed fine so that counts as a input from God. Other things to remember when adding the second bag of blood which was interrupted by the fall my main port stopped working do to blood clot after working for over a year. So to keep things going they added an IV under my right arm which was used to complete blood transfusion. When the port issue started a drug was added to the main port to clear the clot it was like carb cleaner for blood but it worked and I got full function of the port back and we continue the journey.
Please continue to pray for us and may God continue to bless us all.
Wow Ralph! that was quite a movie in my mind as I read your blog, no special effects needed... Wish you could do it over on u tube to see God at work. Do you think guardian Angels would show up on camera? Wait, that would be Sharen I bet her wings were radiant that day! Keep everyone else on their toes and enjoy your good read.
