Sometimes you feel like you’re close to the top of the world. Just when you’re right at the top, you come tumbling down.
That was metaphoric, but yesterday that’s sort of what literally happened.
With a day off and a long to do list, I was running all over the place. I worked, planned a lot of things, and wanted to take pictures for my plant page. The latter is what got me.
There was something missing for my picture, but it was on the shelf over my bed. I had just grabbed a few things off of there and didn’t even think twice about doing it again. So, off I went.
When I stepped up, I put my foot between the bed frame and the mattress. Then, I lifted my other foot up…
Obviously my footing wasn’t as good as I thought.
I fell, heard a crack, and then felt pain and numbness all throughout my ankle and foot.
Mila witnessed it all and I felt so awful. I got my phone and told her to call Gigi (my mom) because I I needed help. She did so amazing.
After evaluating it and not being sure if it was broken, I went to the ER.
Four hours and a few X-rays later, I found out there was, thankfully, nothing broken. I did tear some ligaments though.
It hurts so bad to walk. I’m stuck on the couch today with ice and two amazing nurses. They’re not professionally trained, but they know where the snacks are and love to help.
My mom fail this week was literally the fall, but also thinking everything needed done in twenty-four hours. It was a painfully, humble reminder not to overwork myself.
To every mom who feels like she’s failing, you’re doing the best you can.
