The Fall Finale PLEASE READ THE FALL 1st

So here I go again;


Let’s see if I can finish the story, there’s not much left to tell.






So the intern(?) finally said “ok I’m going to get the Dr. to come and see you now”.






Well I’ve been very (blessed???) through my trips to the hospital via ambulance &/or firefighters with the exception of this ride because they were 2 women. For some reason I have always had handsome men.


This trip was no different the Dr. walked in & because I wasn't put on any pain killers yet I was very limited as to what I could get away with, so I simply said as usual “Did you just graduate med school?”, he gave me a beautiful smile and said “No but thank you ”, I’m thinking ‘ok either I’m getting older or these Dr.s are graduating much younger then the ones I seem to remember.’ So I decide, ‘nope it’s not me they’re graduating younger.’






They put me through for an x-ray because their CT-Scan was broken was broken.


On the way to X-ray my nurse Susan, not Susie or Sue but Susan,we


laughed at how people shorten names but when they’ve done it for yrs you have to let it go but your new friends you tell them the


name you want to be called, I asked her so I knew hers was Susan.






She knew the stinkin’ pain I was in so as we were on our way back


my curtained room, she said “as soon as the Dr. sees your x-rays I’ll see what FUN stuff I can put you on.” I thought ‘Alright I scored a good nurse, friendly, humorous & soon I’ll be pain free-that part, sadly, not so much.’






After seeing my GP the following day she thinks what I’ve done is badly bruised my ribs and obviously done some serious damage to my tissue & muscles, she prescribed Morphine which I only took when the pain was very bad in the beginning & here & there as needed.






My mum took the 1st week off work, God bless her, was with me because every time I moved it hurt so bad, engaging core and my oblique muscles were excruciating; getting in & out of bed was the worst part. Being mobile to go anywhere was out of the question. The following week she worked 1/2 days & then came over to feed me & put me in bed. Thankfully a friend came & spent 2 nights so my mum could have a break.






My church set up a meal plan for me so some ladies at church we’re bringing me meals as I wasn’t really able to stand for too long & my entire right side was pretty much useless. I can totally feel Gods healing through this entire process & even now as the pain still settles in new places in my back & neck that I have no doubt are from my fall, I know he’s still healing me. So many people are continuing to pray for my body.






Now my brother is staying with me while he works on the North Shore so he’s a big help, he’s doing my dishes & making dinner because I still don’t have a lot of staying power with my right arm. I’m still finding towards the end of the day my right side especially under my shoulder blade is quite painful.






So that’s pretty much my fall story.


I would like to thank everyone, all my friends & family that have prayed for me, fed me, and have been an encouragement to me during this difficult time.


May God bless you in the abundance of blessings that you have blessed me with.


I’ve re-read this 3X so if there’s still typos-I’m blaming cancer🤪






Ever so grateful,


Melanie.
