On May 29, I slipt and fell at work on a wet floor. My knee kind of twisted but did not hurt excessively bad so I filed paperwork and thought nothing else of it. (My stupidity as now Workman's comp is pretty useless.)
On June 6, at Texas Motor Speedway (for the record, absolutely no alcohol was involved) while walking to the restroom, my knee gave out and I started propelling forward. All I could do was fall and landed arms out stretched. I knew immediately my elbow was broken but not how bad. DeWayne drove me to the ER after a quick fix at the track. After a bunch of no fun X-Rays, they splinted me and referred me to an Orthopedic doctor. He informed me that the radial head in my elbow was broken in several places and could either be removed or replaced. The latter being the better option as to not limit arm movement. He also believes the ACL in my left knee is torn. I had an MRI on it today but won't get the results until Friday.
My friend DeWayne has been fabulously at my beck and call even going so far as to wash my hair. My coworker Sandy has graciously taken me to doctor visits. I am so thankful for everyone's thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. My parents and I have decided it would be easier to have the surgery in Texarkana since Mom is off for summer and can better help me as I recover. My Gramma is also close by and will help. I am so blessed. Please pray for a quick and easy recovery. I won't be on the computer much but welcome phone calls and texts. My cell is iffy at my parents but feel free to call the house. It is Randy Moore in Atlanta, TX. The plan is for them to pick me up Saturday and I have an appointment there on Wednesday. Sadly, I will be missing my 10 year reunion. I do know that God has a plan in all this and it will all work out.
I went to the doc today and it is a torn ACL. I will need surgery on both. Mom and Dadaer picking me up in the morning and I have an appointment in Texarkana on Wednesday. At that point I will find out when the surgery will be.
