Nov 14, Saturday, Diary

Day 21, my accident
Day  01  Her accident.

01:30 up, pee and  ...snack.

We were sleeping okay, then #2 called, after reading Merry's fb post about Her accident...  DEMANDING  She get checked out at a hospital.
So we were awake, and She was not doing well.
So we got up and around...
I wrote a long FB post along the lines of "FML"...
She was nauseated, so I helped Her in the bathroom, which woke up Stitch...around 05:30....   
And we continued sitting up, not wanted to wake Coco up, but waiting for her to get up, to take Merry ..and me...to the hospital.
She was awake around 0700, and we got ready...
She drove..which was the idea...and dropped us off, 0730.

The hospital was rather quiet.  She got through registration, check in, triage, rather quickly...along with going through the x-ray department. 
There was a bit of a wait, for a bed to open in the examining area...
But soon we were there.... visiting by a nurse, and the same doctor who treated me, three weeks prior.
Merry wound up with a splint on Her left wrist, covering a bone that may or may not be broken...  
Nothing to do about Her ribs, broken or otherwise...
She got a tetanus shot in view of the scrape on Her knee...
Then came a VERY long wait, for results from the x-ray department.   
Finally She was discharged....
I summoned Coco by text.
The doctor said while we were leaving, "See you in a couple weeks?"
Ha.
So, we were picked up around noon.
Went to a CVS to drop off the script for Norco.
And home, we both went into BR1.
CVS called, they were having a problem with... getting authorization for the prescribing doctor.
They called again later, which resulted in Coco fetching the script from them, and taking it to Walmart, which notified us by text, it was ready within 30 minutes.
(We still haven't picked it up yet)
So .... Merry dozed, and I watched football with half an eye, while sleeping from  1 to 4:30.
Awake 17:00 to watch OU vs Baylor.
   Wow.
  til 21:00
Then watched the Democratic Debate which I had recorded earlier, from 6 to 8.   
Merry managed to get up and make dinner, with a lot of help from Stitch... baked chicken, and rice.....   .
   sleep ..................................................... 23:00

Friday the 13th of November, Diary

Day 20, my accident...

.............................................................. 03:45

Bullfrog/Son#1 called Merry:  he was at one of his job sites, and had locked the only key I have to my car inside my car....
SO off She went to the rescue...  to call AAA and be there when they arrive.

Later, She called me  "Good news or bad news?"
In short, the unlock mission was successful.
She tripped over a parking lot concrete block, and landed mostly on Her left wrist...  banging up that and a knee, and some ribs.

She returned home...and went out to the garage, just to check out Bullfrog's room to see if he might have walked off with Her bottle of vicodin.   
Not there, but She did  almost trip over a sleeping body,  an old friend of #1 and #2's, who #1 had invited to stay ...after he got out of jail, and very much unbeknownst to us.
 Meanwhile, I found the missing bottle of pills in a drawer next to Her side of the bed.

Upright,  and W TRMS  from Thursday...
Then Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU...

Coco arrived...first time we've seen her since early September.... 
We thought she was coming to town just to pick up her dogs and leave again..
but
  she had just spent a week at a job in LV that was not working out, and she was leaving there heading to, well, I'm not sure.
She wound up, moving back into her old room at the house.
Just in time, as she volunteered to drive, if it turned out that Merry was out of commission.

Oct. 25th, Sunday Diary A.D. 1

writer's note: this is being composed one week after the events took place....

Once we realized that 'playing' was out of the question, we decided to head home .  
She drove...
Arriving, I limped inside, went into BR1.
And watched  "Blunt Talk" season finale, followed by "Guardians of the Galaxy" ..animated.  
    to sleep  02:45.
6:45 I woke up to pee, and thought I'd see what was in the kitchen...
The pain was so much, I passed out or fainted in the kitchen.
I think I was conscious enough to catch myself from falling hard, but I do remember opening my eyes, flat on my back in the kitchen, and thinking about how cool it was there, and if I had a pillow, I could just stay there.
I managed to get up and get back in the bedroom.
I told a half awake Merry what happened, and She said, "I thought I heard some kinda thump in there."

More sleep...
Then up noonish, She served coffee and toast...
My ankle had swallen to base ball size.
We decided to go to a hospital, to at least get it xrayed.
I let DB aka 'supervisor' know that, me coming to work today was ... well, not happening...
and off we went.
In general, the hospital was a case of hurry up and wait..
But, not like I/we had anything else  to do.
We were at the same hospital that Merry's #2 was in, so during one waiting period, I sent Her off to go visit him.
I had brought both Sundays' papers, so I was prepared, but I was having trouble staying awake.
Around 1530, with a disc of x-rays in hand, and a splint on my ankle, and supplied with a pair of crutches, I was discharged.
We stopped at "In and Out" on the way home, because I had a ten dollar gift card, and I got a protein style burger (no bun) and fries and I don't remember, some soda.
I declined to eat in the car, like Merry does, and I waited til She was done.
We went home...
I went into BR1 and ate and read the papers, and watched tv, football, I think..
Nap   1700 to 20000
Dinner was leftover stir fry.
And we watched  CSI Cyber starting at 23:30 ....

Merry put black dye in my hair which actually had more of a green tint...
Then She added red dye to my beard and mustache...
Then I took a shower...
She put white make up on my face, and black around my eyes...
And we tore up an old shirt, and She applied spots of red ... I don't know what to call it, but fake blood.
Dinner....  beef (I think... ) stir fry.
Packed the dungeon bag, and we were in Her car at 22:15 heading for the Halloween party at the BoD.
We walked up the steep driveway,  all asphalt...
I stepped in a pothole, and took a hard fall.
And did something to my right ankle.
I stayed on the ground for some time, until a large fellow helped me upright, and brought me a chair, which I stayed in for awhile.
Merry paid our admission.
I took our bag inside the dungeon.
Merry and I went out by the fire circle, and hung out there awhile....
