GRADUATION PARTY DAY: May 25, 2018/BLACK FRIDAY

Chris and Megan fixed a good (late) breakfast for all of us...…...eggs, sausage, bacon and home fries...……..Christa arrived as we were finishing up.  Breakfast was great!  Tina and I chopped vegetables and I loaded the dishwasher and Cassy started it while Meg and Christa went to COSTCO to pick up the cake and other stuff.  Cassy and I also worked on the afghan.  I am so pleased that she is interested in this, I thought maybe it would not mean anything to her, but she seems to want to work on it.  Sooooooooooooooooooooo, the day DID start out good!

This is a picture of Cassy working on the four generation afghan

I called this BLACK FRIDAY because of what happened to me about 20 minutes before Cassy' graduation party was due to start.   I was going out on the back deck with Cassy and I stumbled or missed a step or something and did a flying leap forward and landed on my face, with my head lower than my body (due to the way the long steps are).  I smashed up my face pretty bad an broke my glasses.  (I am thankful that I brought along a spare pair).

After Chris  examined my wounds and gave me 800 mg of Ibupropen, Christa took me to BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL in Kalamazoo.  I had ten tiny black stitches put into my upper lip, and had scans of my head and face.  A broken nose was diagnosed, but since there is no pain anywhere in my nose, I think its possible that its really not broken.

Christa and I missed Cassy's graduation party!!!!  By the time we got back to the house, it was almost over.  Cassy brought me a small plate of food and I ate some of it, and then I spent the rest of the evening in my room, icing my black eye.

I am grateful that nothing was broken and that none of my teeth were broken off.  And also that there is so little pain.  The hospital staff wondered why I was not in worse pain, but I really was not!!!!
