Creek running thru Glacier National Park


Today was a very eventful day.  I started out like yesterday, full of energy, so much so, I started laundry, bleached the entire kitchen, and a maltitude of other cleaning projects.  Took on my shower with the same high energy ratio, so I wasn't being as careful as usual and ended up slipping in the tub with my feet straight out and mack on my bottom and catching me with my arms.  As I went to get up I couldn't move my right arm because the pain was so intense.  I called Bill and he came home quickly as he was only five minutes out and then I called Janene to come over.  Bill gave me a pain pill and helped me get dressed and we drove to Kadlec where they administered a pain and nausea shot which ended up working very nicely.  When the x-ray technician started x-raying my wrist I could barely move it without extensive #10 pain.  By the time he got to my shoulder, I felt little pain as a #1 pain.   I had to twist my arm so the underneath part of my arm was up and I heard a loud pop as if it was going back into place.  The rest of it was smooth sailing.  After reading the x-rays, the doctor came in with very good news, no broken bones....Yea.  However, he thought I might have damaged my rotator cuff which wouldn't show up on an x-ray so he wants me to make an appointment with a Dr. Fischer to possibly  have an MRI.  Right now I am pretty sore but doing great.  Well, that pretty much sums up my day.


Q:  Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A:  You must grasp logistical efficiencies.  What does a cow eat?  Hay and corn.  And what are these? Vegetables.  So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.  Need grain?  Eat chicken.  Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).  And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.


Thought for the Day
I love luxury.  And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity.  Vulgarity is the ugliest word in the language.

By the way, I had Bill type this for me because I have no feeling or use in my right hand.

  1. Hello Grandma,
    I am so glad you are all right. I hope your arm heals fast.
    I am also glad you had great energy.
    I like the story of the meat and vegetables that is funny; I still will not eat meat but it was cute.
    We love you
    God Bless you
