Sunshine and Roses: A Good and Bad Weekend

This is going to be kind of a long post. I don't even know where to start! We slept in on Saturday and had a lazy day. Dustin asked me if I wanted to go somewhere that night and I just felt like relaxing at home, so we did. I know he wanted to too, he was just asking to be nice, or I would've went out if he wanted to. Then later that night, we decided to go to WalMart to stock up on some fishing stuff for our fishing trip the next day. On my way out the door, I knew Dustin had just walked outside and I couldn't see him, so I figured he was trying to scare me. He is ornery and plays with me like that alot, so I said 'you're not going to scare me' lol and I kept walking,eventually seeing him beside his car. As I was looking back to see what he was doing, I wasn't watching where I was going. So, my clumsy ass tripped over a HUGE rock that I always knew was there. I not only tripped on it, but I somehow ended up standing on top of it and then falling directly onto both my palms, but mostly my right one. I yelled out for Dustin and he came running saying 'BABY BABY BABY' hearing me in pain worried him and upset him so much that he had tears in his eyes. He rarely shows emotion. But, he picked me up and we went inside. I cried a little because it scared me. I knew it wouldn't be good. He took my jacket off to look at my arm where it hurt. And it didn't look weird or anything. He wanted to take me to the E.R. but I said I didn't want to until I knew it wasn't just bruised or something. So we went to WalMart and got a splint, put that on, and got to shopping. We got our fishing licenses, fishing stuff, and some other stuff we needed. Then we went home and the pain was so bad that I couldn't get dressed on my own or anything. Dustin had to help me with it all. He was amazing with helping me out and felt so bad for me. He hated to see me in pain. We stayed up all night that night and then Sunday morning, Lynn got a new Akita puppy. He is adorable and soft. He's only 8 weeks old and he's huge. He is the Akita that we used to have (Koda)'s son. Koda is a champion show dog and this dog is even more gorgeous than Koda. I'm sad that I can't hold him because of my arm. By the time I'm healed, he will be way too big to snuggle at the rate he's growing! Him and Harley became fast friends and we're all trying to figure out what to name him. Later on, Dustin and I went to sleep. We have a weird sleep schedule because he works nights and sometimes, I stay up so I can see him and spend time with him. I kept waking up crying because of the pain and after 5 or so hours of restless sleep, and Dustin said that we've got to get me to the E.R. So, I got up and we went to St. John Owasso. They were packed, but they did a good job of getting people in and out. It took about 4 hours, but I found out that my arm is broken near my elbow and is cracked in one spot. They say it's a very painful break, so I was happy that I wasn't just being a big baby! haha. I was worried that it was a torn ligament or tendon and that they wouldn't find anything wrong that day, and I hate unanswered questions. I am not happy, however, with the huge splint I have to wear. I understand why I have to wear it but it goes all the way up and down my arm and it makes it impossible to do things. And I hate feeling helpless! But, I'm thankful that I got help because it was really painful. My medicine just makes me sleep a lot and makes me nauseous. But it's better than being in such pain that I can't sleep. Dustin has to work all week so I'm here to take care of myself, which has been interesting to say the least. I've had to figure out different ways to do simple tasks with only my left hand, like washing my hair or making a sandwich. On Friday, I get my real cast. So we'll have to see what that entails. I'm trying to figure out what color to get (you've got to make it fun in someway)! Overall, I'm thankful for Dustin being there for me throughout this ordeal and helping me out so much, and for my health insurance because I know there are a lot of people who would be hard pressed to even go to the hospital due to that. I'm going kind of stir crazy being locked up in this house since I can't drive with the meds I'm taking or with only my left arm, but I'm definitely getting enough sleep. I'm going on and on so I will just end this post with some pictures :) Thanks for reading!
