Update on me

Maddie&EthansMom wrote: Some people were asking so I thought I'd just post it here for everyone to see

Yesterday I was in a horrible amount of pain and putzed around on the couch most of the day. The pain would come and go, but when it was here it was really intense for some reason. I was taking advil every 4 hrs. Not only was I in a lot of pain, but I was really emotional for some reason (AF is on her way, I'm sure that's it)

I slept better last night, but I'm still really sore and having to take ibuprofen. I am still so freaked out by what happened. The sound of that glass shattering won't leave my head.

CantWait replied: Omgosh Aimee I'm so sorry. Who could think that a house hold accident could have such an effect emotionally and physcologically.

Did the hospital not give you anything stronger for the pain? Advil just doesn't seem to cut it for a headache with me half the time, never mind have shards of glass and stitches in my back.

I hope the pain subsides a bit more today.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: No, they said Motrin or Tylenol would be fine. My arm is also sore from the tetanus shot. I'm such a weenie. They did say that it was a really deep cut in a very sensitive/tender area and I have a lot of muscular pain. Scotty said that could be from the glass b/c it was so heavy. Yesterday I hurt all over. Even my butt was sore. Maybe from the tension too?

Boys r us replied: Oh Aimee! I'm sorry that you're still feeling a lot of effect from your accident..both physically and emotionally! You got banged up pretty good hun, you're going to be really sore for awhile, did they give you prescription strength ibuprofin? if not, you may want to see if you can get a prescription for it!
As for hearing the glass shatter over again in your mind..I think that's natural, I mean...even though you got a really bad cut from it, it could have been SOOO much worse and I'm sure that reliving it in your mind is probably b/c you know how bad it could have been for you or if one of the kids had been there..and that is very scary to think about. I hope all of this heals quickly so you can get back to being a busy little bee, I think that will help..right now you're kind of stuck sitting/laying around waiting to heal and feel better and sometimes that leaves too much time to think!

redchief replied: Get well soon Aimee... I still say you're lucky as heck, even though you probably don't agree with me right now.

mamasbigbaby replied: OMG!!! Aimee!I'm so sorry you have to feel that way!!! I'm glad that you are okay, tough.

mamasbigbaby replied: Oh,and virtual hugs for you.

Kaitlin'smom replied: poor thing. I hope your feeling better.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Oh I know I'm lucky. ITA with you. I'm lucky it wasn't my kids, I'm lucky it was a few cenimeters from my spine and not ON my spine since it was such a deep cut. I'm lucky that some of the glass cut my hair off instead of cutting thru my head. I'm lucky one of those huge pieces of glass didn't stab right thru me. Especially since my kids came running around the corner after it happened. It was bad enough for them to see me bleeding as much as I was from the minor cuts I did get (DH soaked 2 towels with blood trying to clean me up). Not to mention I was bawling and shaking. I didn't really know what had happened to me or how bad I was hurt. Their little faces were so scared looking. And their daddy just kept yelling at them to go away.

I guess this is why I can't get it out of my head and this is why I'm so emotional. I'm lucky but the what ifs still haunt me.

redchief replied: I'd say turn the what ifs into what coulds. Look around and do the shake rattle and roll test on anything hanging or heavy in the house. Not much you can do about what has happened, but you can do everything about what could happen, KWIM?

mamasbigbaby replied: I hope hubby and the kids are okay.

gr33n3y3z replied: Aimee I'm so glad it wasnt worse as it could have been hun
You are so lucky

mamasbigbaby replied:
Very lucky and blessed.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Oh hon, I hope you feel better soon!

5littleladies replied: Aimee-God was watching out for you. I know that is a strange thing to say when something bad did indeed happen, but I truly believe He was. I'm sorry you are so shaken, and I'm sorry the kids had to see it. I wish I could come help you out in some way, but since I can't, I am praying that God will give you peace and that you will heal quickly.

Brias3 replied: Sorry you're still in a bunch of pain but hoping you'll get well soon!

CantWait replied: Aimee are the kids doing alright now? If so, you can stop worrying hon. They see you're alright now. With them being so young, I don't think they know how much more serious it could have been. Give them a great big hug.

A&A'smommy replied: ugh you poor thing I think you have a right to be emotional that is SOO scary!!!! Feel better soon sweetheart!!!

C&K*s Mommie replied: So sorry that you are still in alot of pain. Wishing you very, very well. I hope the sounds of the crashing mirror make a quick exit from your memory/mind, and you can have some rest.

Thanks for the update! Sending p&pt's for a quick recovery, and many well wishes!

Bee_Kay replied: OMG AIMEE!!!

I've been kinda scarce around here lately.... I had to scroll back to find your OP (sorry )..... OMG!!! That is soooooooo scary!!

I am so glad that you are ok, for the most part. You just take your time resting and work on the emotional aspect of it as well.
Time will heal!!

Jamison'smama replied: Oh Aimee--sorry I didn't post on your other thread. You went through some major trauma--it's absolutely okay to be upset! I can't imagine how that must hurt--mirrors aren't just thin pieces--that's a big wound! Sending big hugs to you---and yes tetanis shots HURT--your arm ACHES for a while after one of those and it's not surprising that your whole body hurts--after you heard the crash, I'm sure you tensed up every muscle in your body!

Hugs to all of you!

MyLuvBugs replied: Oh goodness! I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I hope you start feeling better soon though. Just take it easy, and make Scott and the kids do some of your chores.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: You're in shock hun and you should be after what happened. I agree that they should have given you the prescription strength Motrin because that OTC stuff isn't going to help. I've been thinking about you and hoping that the pain goes away quickly.

ashtonsmama replied: I'm sorry you've been in pain, I hope it all goes away soon Aimee.

And I know that sound of shattering glass, believe it or not, one night back in February, Ryan and I were at Taco Bell, and it was below a bar, and I guess some people must have been pretty drunk, they pushed their friend through the huge window, and into Taco Bell, supposedly "on accident". But that glass breaking still freaks me out, we're so lucky we weren't cut or severly hurt...
Anyways.

Sorry. Prayers on their way.

amymom replied: Hugs and prayers

mammag replied: OMG Aimee! I had missed your post (I seem to be missing a lot lately I've been so busy...sorry). I went back to see what happened and that is soooo scarey! I'm glad that you are okay though. I can completely understand you being out of sorts by this. Hope the pain gets much better soon!
