Rant #3,229: The Hero Takes a Fall

Yup, I done did it, and I done did it pretty good.

Yesterday afternoon, I was taking some garbage out to the curb.

I was walking done the stairs like I had done a million times in our old house, and then the next thing I knew, I was on the floor in a lot of pain.

To thus moment, I do not know what happened, but I took a flop, with my need going solidly into a box of photo albums that we had stored away for our move.

I thought right away that my kneecap was broken, but more on that later.

My son called emergency, and within minutes, the ambulance was here, and I was rushed to a local hospital--the same one my mother was in all those weeks ago.

To make a long story short--we were in the hospital for several hours--after all the xrays, they found I have a torn patella.

I need to speak to the hospital's orthopedics, and he will determine if I need surgery or not.

I think i do, as my knee is twice the size of my right knee, but let's see what he says, and if I do need surgery, let's get it done ASAP.

Likevl Chester Riley used to say, "What a revolting development this is!"

I was planning to pack away all my records this week, but that is absolutely not going to happen as soon as I would have like it.

There really isn't much else to say about it.

This could not have happened at a worse time, but happen it did.

Now I can't to a thing to gavilitste our move, other than staying out of everyone's way.

Let's see what happens when I get looked at, but I do believe I will be going under the knife.

This is the work of the devil, and we need to get out if the house and into our new residence to be rid of all of this negativity, once and for all.

I just cannot believe that all of this is happen8ng to my family ... and you don't even know the full extent of it!
