Eyes Wide Open (continued)

Welcome back, now where were we; ah ok so I shake off the rather painful sprain. I hop on the bus go home and rest for two hours. My ankle isn't hurting so I decide to go to my night job. On this job I'm standing and walking for four hours. I worked that shift like nothing happened. It wasn't until an hour before it was time to go that my knee started hurting. I kinda thought nothing of it since it was already slightly injured. I left work and headed home. I had 15minutes to shower and get ready for the day job.

As I stepped into the shower My right leg buckled and I looked down and my ankle on my right leg was swollen to the size of a white potato. I thought to myself, maybe I should just call out and stay home. My legs aren't in good condition and working on them any further wouldn't have been a good idea. I also had to call out of the day job the next day which was Tuesday. I rested for the day and decided to go to my training on Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning I woke up feeling terrible! My anxiety was doing a thing and I was so uncomfortable in my body but I dragged myself out the door anyway.

I pull up to the training location only to find out... The training started Monday and was over today which was Wednesday. I contact my supervisor and he said it was a miscommunication on his end and he apologized & said we would still get paid for the day. I decided to go to Auntie Annie's I figured maybe some coping food would help because I was about to just cry in the street. I could feel my ankle swelling but I was stressed and I didn't care. I had some trouble finding the Auntie Annie's but when I did I was fenin for my buttery pretzel. I was so ready, only to walk away take a bite and realize it was dry! I didn't even go back my ankle was sore and I was over it.

I thought about going to my case manager's office then I remembered that she told me to go to the hospital. Since I had already made it back to the neighborhood I live in, I googled hospital near me. It was a 22min walk away. Yup my crazy self tried to walk it. It didn't happen, my leg gave out. I ended up calling 911, the paramedics took to long and I called a Lyft. I was in the hospital for 5 hours. After x-rays and ultrasounds on my knee and ankle it was concluded that I sprained it pretty good.

Watch where ya walking people. Until next time I'm around. More like at home for a week with my foot up🤦🏾

A Recovery Love Story

Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️ There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste. As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...
