I am the back. I'm not quite sure where to start it's a long story. As you know, I took a bad fall a week ago Friday on the slate floor in my foyer. I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room at our local hospital where I underwent a CAT scan. The findings showed that I had a concussion.
However during this scan I had trouble breathing and am now told that I coded before resuming breathing. The aftereffects have left me not only dizzy and nausious but weak and unsteady. It gave Tim a scare and so hospice placed me in their hospice House in Rapid City to give him a rest and me too.
It was good for me -- such pampering... bubble baths, massages, my own private patio and nurses who would take me for walks through the gardens. Heavenly!
However, the rest wasn't as good for Tim. There were guests scheduled and so he couldn't slip away and reverted to old habits of hiding in a bottle.
Friends picked me up yesterday and brought me home but before coming the whole way back to the ranch we stopped at the Sheriff's Department and had a deputy follow us home. Tim has been removed and I have some friends and volunteers who will be helping me 24 seven.
I am drained but feel that I have done the right thing for me. My heart is broken but I will survive this and hopefully I will come out a better woman.
Thanks for all your concerns it kind of happened all of a sudden and I didn't have time to drop you a note so you wouldn't worry. Now I have some catching up to do on the forum as well as here at home. Guests are still on the books through the end of September and I must be able to deal with them and assure they have a good and memorable stay.
I have been concerned for you on the East Coast and hope that always say dry and be in one piece.
Love to you all -- I've missed you and our cups of tea!
