Add me to the clutzy list

So lately I have been having dizzy spells. I swear I thought I was pregnant because I always have dizzy spells at the begining of a pregnancy. I went to the dr on Wednesday and was so anxious that they couldn't find a blood pressure reading. Well it turns out that I have vertigo because of my sinus issues lately.

Friday morning I got up at 6am with the kids and Trevor. I got Jackson out of bed, changed him and as I was lifting him up I spun to the right and got a horrible dizzy spell. I fell down and was trying to protect him in the fall, I fell hard on my right shoulder on a pile of his toys. It hurt so bad!!

I went into convience care (the ER) on Saturday and they said "Well, we hope it's not a torn rotator cuff" Sigh. That would be horrible, it would require surgery and me to be laid up for six months. My mom had the surgery last year and it was horrible. The MRI machine wasn't available on the weekends so they xrayed it, it's not broken, put me in a sling and shot me up with some good drugs. They said if it doesn't start to feel better by the middle of the week, I have to go in for an MRI and see if it is a torn rotator cuff.

To make things even better, Trevor is in Colorado all week and now I am one handed. This will be fun.

I've been on that clutzy list for a long time now - usually, I just get a sprained ankle for my troubles or some stain on my clothes. A torn rotator cuff - that would bad. Hang in there, one thing at a time and things will work out. I'm sure with Trevor gone this week, there will be a lot of deep breaths and counting to 10 (or maybe 100, depending on your level of frustration). Hopefully, you'll have a good report for us in your next post. Take care!
