High and Low of the Week

I always like to eat my fav foods last, and it's the same with delivering good/bad news.

LOW of the week:

I missed a step while carrying a tower of towels and linen going down stairs.


I went to the clinic and they sent me to the hospital for X-rays.  After waiting in emergency for 2.5 hours and the doctor said, "WOAh that is swollen" ...see below.

HIGH of the week:

...the doc said it's only a minor sprain and it should be better by the weekend.  I'm allowed to lift 10 lbs max.  I remember in highschool, one of my dear friends and I went to our school gym (for I think the first and last time).  I had looked over to her, let's call her JBeans for her privacy, and was shocked to see that she was struggling with two 5 lb dumbbells.  I was quite snide about it, voicing that I thought she was weak.  Well that's 10 lbs.  After about a decade, it's come back to bite me in the bum.  High five JBeans.  (She can now do more than 5 lbs by the way).

As a result, my modified "light duty" tasks at work have included polishing cutlery for HOURS (fiiiiiive hours yesterday) and folding napkins. But very glad I'm not missing work.

My supervisor (who was also my supervisor at The Lake last year) had asked me, "Same thing as last year?"
I happily replied, "Nope, much better than last year."

For those who share my faith, please pray for a speedy recovery.

  1. Get better soon Selena! Folding napkins doesn't sound so bad. Brings back memories when I used to help out at my uncle's restaurant.
