HELLO 2019, now where is 2020…

Well, 2019, has started out not good.. and if the old saying of a bad beginning, is a good ending.. then we should have a wonderful, terrific ending of the year..

The very first day… of 2019 … found the King and I still sick.

left over from Christmas afternoon….

And then… our little sweet little man.. was in his grandmother’s garage, running after her… when he slipped on ice in the garage… and down he went.. breaking his femur bone.    So off to the local hospital and then an ambulance ride for mom and little man to Spokane.  But now with  the dr. of the ER…remarks about how he was turning it into the CPS… as this is….THE WORSE BREAK HE HAS EVER SEEN…  with a few other added remarks.

You have to understand.. this is a first time mom… with a son who she worships.. heck the whole family worships this kid… CPS???  WHAT THE HELL? …. 

Mom heads to Spokane, Dad is shortly behind her, scared out of their mind.. of what has just happen to their son.  The good news is the doctors and etc at St. Heart where wonderful..  great staff, that put mom and dad at ease... talked about the possibilities and the pros and cons of the break and treatment…. They came up with the idea of pinning it.. instead of a body cast.. Knowing how active 2 and half year olds are.. they figured that was the best deal.

Next morning he was prep for the surgery..  went thru it, great. Everything worked out well… He came out of ICU and into his room… That was Wednesday…  by Friday they had discharged him with instructions.. of weight bearing.. how much and how little.. and they figured he would be walking on it by a month later.  But with still the call into the CPS..hanging over their heads…  Which will be this week for the inspection and etc.  

While mom and dad are over tending to our lil guy, in Spokane… his grandmother and I separately did research once we knew exactly what it was…. There the many sites.. Mayo Clinic and such..  we found out that … it is a VERY COMMON BREAK AMONG  CHILDREN…AND….  LOW IMPACT BREAKS..  meaning that it doesn’t take much.. hence the fall on the ice..   We pretty much came up to the same conclusion…… the local doctor needs to go back to school… for what he termed the THE WORSE BREAK HE HAD EVER SEEN..   is actually a very COMMON among children.

Personally I think they should be a complaint put against the dr… for scaring the new parents out of their wits…  worrying about their son…. Only to find a threat of losing him by the drs words… That is my humble opinion… They never should have gone thru all of that…  there were no bruises, no other things wrong.. and when told of how it happen.. he still raised his voice and put in the complain.

But life is what it is.. and this too shall past…  Lil man is doing well, being spoiled worse than he already was.. adults playing games, adjusting things around him so he can enjoy having to sit on the couch.  He is suppose to be barely weight bearing… but someone needs to tell that to lil man, as he is trying… he is gentle with it.. as it is still a little painful. But he is the typical 2 and half year old.. full of piss and vigor.

So here we are, 8 days into the new year… that was a hell of a start…  but also so sad news of distance relative.. who have passed  on… and as the rest of us try our best to get healthy again.

Also the post office decided that my box is not of the free kind.. See those of us, who live in the grid of a town that does not have door to door mail.. get a free box.  We are in that group….. but it seems when they moved my box to another area, to get me out of the way of the window…8 years ago…. they gave us.. a non free box… meaning it is slightly bigger than the free box…  With the new audit of all contract post office it came to light, that mine would cost me $72 or change to the free box…  we chose to get the free smaller box…  Do you have a clue.. what it is like to change your mailing address.. ever by just a few numbers?  I have some idea, but I think I am going to be learning soon, how bad that is..

If this is the opening of 2019… then can I look for 2020?
