Broken Arm

Man, do I gave something to blog about. Last monday I fell and broke my right forearm in 3 places. The kids and I were the only ones home. I had to call Nick @ work on his cell phone.He came home and took me to thr ER, where it was confirmed it was broke. I had 2-3 hr surgery tues morning; where they put 2 metal plates and 6 screws in my arm.

While in the hospital I found out I am allergic to morphine and percacet. I broke out in hives all over my face and waist line. I had to look lovely when my pastor came to visit! lol

Came home wed. afternoon, changed meds to vicadin & ended up back in the er for shortness of breath, although this time I got to ride in an ambulance. So no more prescription drugs for me, I will stick ti Tylenol and benadryl for pain and itching.

I am a right handed person, so this has been rough for me. I don't like having to ask for help.Now I have to have help putting on a bra and gettind dressed,i can't cook or do anyother housework; which puts a lot of stress on Nick. He has been such a blessing. He even let me call hin nicky,which he hates, while i was in the hospital and enduring pain that was far worse than child labor.

I will try to keep everyone posted. I go back to the dr on april 21 to have the staples removed. My arm always has a dull ache to it & I itch almost constantly arond the staples.
