My apologies for 'falling down' on the job

A little over a week has gone by since this site
was last updated, and though I begged and
pleaded, the EMTs who came to give me a ride to
Boundary Community Hospital Sunday evening to allow a
me a minute to
post notice to let readers know what was going
on went unheeded.
What happened is this; I experience a sudden
bout of vertigo while using the restroom and
took a tumble, unfortunately on my un-working
left side. With no way to break the fall, I
caught the rim on the bath tub, breaking four
ribs.
A brain scan showed I'd suffered what appears to
have been a mini stroke. I don't remember many
details, but I ended up in intensive care at
Kootenai Medical Center, worried to tears that
there was news coming in that I couldn't get
out.
I'd have tried to walk out, but, as often
happens in these sort of mishaps, all I was
wearing was my under bloomers. Despite putting
all the wits at my disposal to work on the
problem, I could no see way I'd get down the
hall, and it didn't escape my feeble intellect
that if I did manage to make outside, I'd have
terrible time blending in to the coat and hat
crowd.
Anyway, doctors finally saw fit to release me
this afternoon, and after an interminable ride
home, at can last I explain my absence, tender
my apologies and beg forbearance; it's going to
take be a little while yet to even begin to
catch up. |
