Wow Kat you do have a lot going on! When it rains it pours right! Deep breaths, one thing at a time and nothing is unmanageable. When things get really bad for me, I just keep reminding myself "that this too shall pass!"
Praying that calm and sanity return to your life soon!
Just spent most of the day at the hospital with D16. Got a call this morning from the school that she may have fractured her foot. Went to the er. Waited some and then waited some more. Turns out it is a severe sprain. She has a special shoe to wear and a note to let her use the elevator at school. Had to get meds and then ran to get d14. I am exhausted and nothing happened to me!

Sure, she was so happy that an abstract drawing she did was selected as one of the best in her class. It was hanging in the art gallery. She saw a friend and wanted to show him the drawing, as she turned and asked him to hurry up,she heard a snap and she fell.
It is the fist time I have gone for an emergency for her. Even the boys never broke anything.
When I picked up her sister and got all of D16's books, d14 showed me a display for French week and there was the drawing D16 did this fall for a contest. I told her about it when I got home and she was so excited. My amazing artist, my girl who shows how much she loves me when she isn't feeling her best. Ok, I get a bit of close time.

Glad your D is young!!! I unknowingly broke my foot about 10 years ago, and didn't find out it actually broke until a few years ago. They thought it was a sprain. It hurt like hell, but appeared to heal pretty quickly.
Fast forward about 7 years. I had an x-ray taken which showed I clearly broke the top of my left foot. I've been having sporadic pain in that foot for the past few years. The kind of pain that comes and goes, and can get incredibly intense, no matter what shoes I wear. It gets in the way of my exercise - my choice is to walk, and I find it painful most of the time. It's why D18 and I go to the pool to do water aerobics. I love the resistance, and being barefoot helps so much. I've come to despise the fact that I didn't stick with some type of healing regimen (maybe surgery?) so I didn't wind up where I am now? I'm considering getting back with a podiatrist to explore options. Not that I have time to do much anything they would suggest...
Add me to the 50 and falling apart. Kinda. My arthritis is kind of bothering me lately, for what it's worth.
How's life being a granny?
"There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
That part is a joy. I won't say she doesnt cry when I hold her but I can usually calm her down. For my son is Mr Mom for the most part and is doing well. He is an awesome dad, very hands on. I won't quite say my worry wasn't for anything as I know money is still an issue for them, but so far, they are doing pretty well.
I have broken my foot and my little toe and ow, ow, ow. I have had tons of sprains but I get the arthritic reminders of days gone by, lest I forget .
Off to make dinner and work part 2. I'll check in later.

Put me in the over 50 and needing repairs club as well! What is it about this decade that seems full of mishaps?? I've had three bouts of skin cancer; a long term sciatic nerve issue which has significantly curtailed my running and several other minor irritants going on. This body has to last me at least another 30 years so it needs to get it's act together!
