Last Monday Sullivan and I were headed into the gym when something reached up right out of the ground, grabbed my foot and made us take a trip! The trip felt like it lasted 20 minutes until we finally fell. I was holding Sullivan in my arms because he had just woken up. Plus I had my keys, water bottle and book in my hands. I am normally really good at this. I promise. Anyway, when we were in mid trip and I knew we were going to fall, I tried my best to wrap my arms around Sullivan because I was so worried about him falling on his back and hitting his head and me falling on top of him. Once we landed he of course was screaming on his back in the street. Talk about feeling like a rotten mommy. A guy came over and handed me my stuff, thanks buddy. I could have cared less about my stuff, I was worried about Sully. I was in pain. Both knee's hurt bad and my right arm was in pain. So I scooped Sully up, one armed since I could not lift him with my right arm and we headed into the gym. I just wanted someone to look over Sullivan. I was so scared of what happened to him. They looked him over and saw nothing. Not a goose egg, scratch, or anything. They gave me band aids and I decided it was enough trauma for the day and we headed home. When we got in the car I called Mike and burst out into tears of shear worry and maybe a tear of two for pain. Once we were home Sullivan started perking up and acting totally normal. He was fine. I do not know how he did not have a scratch, bump or a single complaint. I thought he hit his head but now I do not think he did. Me on the other hand...I have abrasions on both knee's, one small one on my elbow and my right arm is still in pain. I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said that I have a strained rotator cuff for sure and possibly a tear. She wants me to go to physical therapy and if that does not help we will do an MRI to see if there is a tear. She said if there was a tear at that point...surgery. Holy moly I about fainted! As scary and painful as it all is...I am so glad that it was me and not him. I am so thankful that the fall took a while and I was able to see it coming and wrap my arms tighter around him. I am so glad he is not in any pain and does not have any boo boos. I would take his pain any day. Thank the Lord for looking out for my baby. I will heal.
