PAINFUL

Yesterday I was walking across the church parking lot holding Cosette's hand. Don't ask me what happened, but one second I was walking just fine and the next second I was going down fast! I fell forward hard and my face hit the pavement first. I let out a scream because I was hurt, but mostly because I had fallen directly behind a car and I did not know if the driver knew that Cosette and I were there. Several ward members quickly gathered round to assist me--to which I am very grateful! Needless to say last night and today I have had one incredible headache! When I landed, I must have skidded forward a little because I have a good scrape on my cheek and there is dirt stuck inside my skin. Today I am realizing that more parts of my body hit the ground, as basically the whole left side of my body aches.



Somebody suggested putting cover up on my eye---but basically it hurts to bad to put anything on it. Also, a nurse told me to not put any product on the open wound so that my skin will be able to flush out the dirt and debris.



I wish I had a more creative story to share--but basically my head hurts too hard to think up one!! I did have to laugh today as I was grilled by Olivia's dentist as he made sure that Olivia and I told the same story. He told me he was under obligation to call the police on anything suspicious! Lucky for me there were several witnesses! I guess that should me lucky for Robert!
We are still unsure if Cosette fell or not. She does have pavement marks on her tights and her fingers, but cried very little. However today she was found to be rubbing her legs saying "ow-hurt." I will definitely be watching her closely over the next few days.
The doctor did say that the best way for me to get better is to rest and to receive decedent desserts from neighbors and friends!!! LOL/JK

Oh my gosh Sheri! I hope you and Cosette will both be fine!

You better watch what you ask for because you will literally have a house full of treats.
