Knee dislocation and ER visit
On Sunday we took the kiddos to the MN Zoo to play in the splash pad and see the new dinosaur exhibit. We had a great time, even though it was insanely HOT! The kids loved splashing in the water and are thoroughly enjoying their dinosaur toys their Oma bought them at the exhibit.
We were getting everybody dressed in dry clothes when I was struck from behind with the car door, thanks to a great breeze. My right knee cap dislocated and was on fire. I've had problems with my knee's dislocating for years now so I just iced it when we got home. However, knee's are pretty painful when they've taken a trip outside of their normal location. So, needless to say, the night was spent with me on the couch and my Husband, Mom & Sister tending to the children. I felt awful not being able to help with my normal responsibilities.
Roll onto Monday and half way through the day I start feeling faint and like I might pass out. I end up in the Urgency Room to have some tests run to rule out my SVT causing the problems. After a few hours in the UR, some IV fluids, and a shot of Zofran I was able to sit up without feeling as though the room was spinning. I was just told to take it easy and relax the rest of that day.
Again, it was another long night of not being able to complete my tasks and I hated that feeling! It really made me thankful for Mama's health. I always thank God for the health of my family and children but rarely thank Him for keeping ME safe and healthy. It was a great reminder to thank God for keeping His hand on our whole family!
Be thankful for your health! Not every Mother is able to raise their children or tend to their home the way they wish they could. Some Mother's would give anything to be able to wash their own laundry, do their own dishes, bathe their children, and so on. Be thankful that you have these "nuisances" because it means you're healthy enough to take care of them!
Thank you Lord!
