After leaving our friends pool party, the sky opened up evil wrath on our little car. With every moment that we drove the wind began to blow harder. Each gust thrashed the trees forward as if a bully was pushing them around.. I looked towards Daniel with alarm when I realized I had left the umbrella up in the backyard. Not even a month earlier the wind had blown the table over snapping the umbrella and bending the leg on the table.
Thoughts of the snapped umbrella played over and over in my head as leaves stuck to the windshield. I don't think we are going to have anything left in the yard with this wind, I said nervously. In a focused voice Dan replies, I would drive faster but the wind is so strong. I know I keep thinking about the umbrella in the fish pond as well.
Pulling up to the house Dan opens the garage as I hop out of the truck with my belongings in my arms. Trying to avoid the rain drops, I puddle hop through the rain to the garage. As soon as I step my foot on the cement floor my left foot slid forward and then my right knee came crashing strait down with pressing force. A moment later I found myself face first staring at the lawn mowers tires. How did I get down here so fast?
With a scurry of movement Dan came rushing in and started frantically checking to see if I was alright. I just laid their for a moment as my mind did a mental check. Is there pain? Yes, Pain in my knee! Check! Hands throbbing? Check. How is the baby? Belly is on the floor. Is there pain? Sorta! But my boobs took most of the fall.
As I laid sprawled on the floor, Dan puts his hand gently on my leg and repeats. Are you ok? The first words were, Did you see that! I fell on the floor but don't worry my boobs caught the fall. Ha!
As I proceed to sit up I begin to gather my belongings from the rain. Dan pushes my hands away and says, don't worry about those things crazy lady! Come on, lets get you to the couch.
As I stand I begin to feel all the aches and pains surge through out my body. How can something so simple cause so much pain. It's not like I fell like a tree strait down. After about 10 minutes of sitting on the couch I realize Ice would be in order. Dan like the good husband brings my request and sits it on my knee. With soothing words he pets my hair and then goes outside to takes the still standing umbrella down. Shesh! All that worrying for nothing. I should have known God had protected my little umbrella.
Several days later I begin to get a dull ache in my back. Oh gee, I think to myself. Now I am really going to feel the full wrath of the fall. The dull ache slowly morphed into a shooting pain that throbbed down my leg. Every step I took began to become more and more painful. Finally I had to come to grips that I had hurt really myself. After standing in line at the grocery store for a grueling 45 minutes. The pain became so intense I could hardly stand. Soon as I walked into the house I crumpled on the living room floor. He says to me poooor baby. I say, don't worry I will get the groceries. He says, No you just stay there. I will bring in the groceries. Man! I should have gotten pregnant earlier. ARF!!
After coming home from work last night I am still feeling lots of pain. I whine to Dan, ohhhhh pleaaase buy me one of those foot massager's. He says, Ha! So you can just ask me later to rub your feet with lotion later. I said, O.K. will you please rub my feet with lotion then. He says, O.K. lay on the bed. With Bean doing the back stroke in my belly, Dan rubbed my feet, legs and back! I was in pure heaven. I had my boys and I was happy as a clam.
Today I have to admit I haven't been in as much pain. Though I can still feel the pain in the back of my leg. Course the pain is nothing like it was the days before. Note to self, Massage really does work. As well as sweet husband and a child like mine. I so am blessed...
