Yesterday was my nieces' birthday party. We have a big family party (my mom and i on our side and about 8 people on theirs, plus my sister's family of 4). The party went well. The girls liked their presents. The food was great and zucchini chocolate cake turns out to be very good (they have a big garden with a LOT of squash this year). Everything went great until we walked out to leave and I stepped down wrong and fell out the door. I've had ankle reconstruction surgery and sometimes it just gives out. This was one of those times but it was such an awkward fall I am so sore today. I fell with my hip bent back so I was almost sitting on my foot. I mildly sprained my wrist and ankle. I scraped both knees and one hand. My back feels jarred. It was a nasty fall. I've spent today resting and taking ibuprofen. I bruised my pride as well....everyone had come out to see my niece open a very large present that was hidden outside that door so all 13 other people saw my not at all graceful exit.


This has been a rough few weeks. One week I had a hornet sting. A week or two after that I was sleep walking and bashed my head into my bedroom door frame. Last week I slammed my thumb in the chicken coop and may lose my nail. And now I've done this.


It's no wonder that I'm fighting depression....nothing is going easily. I see my therapist tomorrow and then it will only be 2 more times before my vacation followed immediately by his surgery. I'm scared of that.


What a summer...
