I went to the ER last night after realizing that I might be dealing with a pulmonary embolism or a heart attack. I had a full workup and I broke a couple of ribs from the front to the back, he said that it will take weeks to heal and I am to do breathing exercises every two hours to prevent pneumonia which would be a natural response to this injury. I spent time in the house yesterday and he said that is OVER…things have to be brought outside for me to look at; I cannot go inside and search for things. I told my son and his fiancée that we will stay there TEMPORARILY. I need to find a way to get laundry done because I have nothing clean to wear, not one pair of jeans or sweats or anything and it is just not working for me to put smoky clothes back on. I think that with carts at the Laundromat that maybe I can get SOME stuff reasonably clean. I have been trying to get help with this since the first day. NO ONE likes Laundromats.
I will keep you posted, I did not sleep last night because of the pain so I will not likely last very long today.
Love to all of you and thank you for your notes and messages.
Ellen
