Sea of Blood

As I sat here, fingers poised wondering what to post for today and I started feeling "uneasy", "unsettled", even a little faint.  Kind of odd for me.  So, I decided to get up and make some tea and then I saw it - an sea of blood on the carpet!

Rolling the calendar back to March 9, 2012 ...

My phone was ringing and I just knew that daughter had missed her bus connection to get to her first day of work.  I ran for the phone, slipped on the carpet and shattered, well actually turned my left foot inside out!  It was Dutchman on the phone, not daughter after-all!  And I got to spend the rest of the day in emergency and then at home cleaning about 2 cups of blood out of the carpet.

The foot eventually healed, some seven operations later.  But, the big toe nail was never quite right.

And that darn nail decided to free itself of my foot.  No idea as to how or why, but there is blood everywhere.  Sigh.

Our new great medical coverage no longer covers Franciscan hospitals so the one four blocks from this house, I can not use!  I have to drive to Seattle for emergency services!  And that saves whom money how?  Thank you Obama for the most expensive and worthless medical coverage on the planet ...

But, I digress.

So today, I get to spend an unknown period in the doctors and then it will be back to shampooing the carpets again ...

Sigh, the life of the reigning King of Klutz!

"All hail the King ..."  Dang he just went down, again, .... sigh ....
