Well,
today turned out not to be such a good day. I went to work planning
on working my 2-10 shift. I went and got my tray ready, snd took it
up front so the cashier who was working couid close out her shift and
go home.
I
had actually gotten there earlier than usual, when I saw the pike of
letters for the road sign. The boss had wanted the sign changed when
the stock person came in at 4. Since it looked like rain, I decided
to go ahead and change the sign before the rain arrived.
Anyway,
I had finished changing the sign, and was getting ready to come down
off the next to the top rung on the step ladder, when the ladder
started falling to the right, tangling my feet in it, and I hit the
ground with a solid “thud”.
I
twisted my back in the fall, and according to the x-rays, managed to
pull the muscles in the lumbar region of my back.
I
have known people who hurt their backs before, but I had no idea
pulling the muscles in your back could hurt to the point that it
makes you dizzy and nauseated. No, I didn't hit my head. If I had hit
my head with this old hard head, I wouldn't have gotten hurt. (I said
it before anyone else could, so there!)
I
will have to be out of work through Monday, when I go back to the
doctor. My employer's workmen's comp is taking care of the doctor,
emergency, and med needs.
I
won't get paid for the day's out (there is no disability insurance),
and I can't afford to miss, but have no choice.
So
I would greatly appreciate your prayers at this time. Also, I won't
be posting to the “Daily Catholic Mass Readings”, “The Pope And
Church News”, or “Saint Quote of the Day” blogs for the next
couple of days at least. I typed this before taking the pain killers
and muscle relaxant's.
Thank
you, and God Bless you all!
