We had a wonderful time in Vegas three weeks ago
Who knows when we returned to LA, everybody were down with a bad flu. Then, two days later, I tripped and fell while getting out of the long bath. I landed on my overturned left foot and my 5th metatarsal into two and displaced it. OUCH!!! Few days later my Quay Lo's feet got an infection and now admitted into the hospital. HAIYAH! So that's why I titled this post "bad things come in clusters all at once". So true right? At least for me, it is.
Actually when bad things happen to us, what choice do we have other than to accept it and be strong to face the adversity? Although this time, it is too much for me to handle, I have accepted it and wait for it to pass. For I believe that after every dark night is a brighter day.
Wouldn't you start to wonder if all these happened for a reason? If you do, read this interesting article. Then, you will understand why Aristotle said everything happens for a reason.
Right now, moving around with my foot in cast and on crutches is the only choice for me. It is frustrating to have to depend on others to do almost everything. In spite of that, I still feel blessed because I know that even if I fall a million times and broken into pieces, my family will still be there to pick me up and mend me. I agree with Michael J. Fox. He said "Family is not an important thing. It's EVERYTHING."
My step daughter, my step son in law and my Quay Lo have been taking care of me since the accident occurred. Big bear hugs!! Big thanks to my son, my BFF and my step brother, my SIL, my niece and nephews for sending me encouraging messages to keep me positive. Many of my friends who knew what happened to me on facebook also send their well wishes. You know who you are. Thank you! I am very grateful for all the love and support.
However, what happens happened. I believe I am doing the right thing to stop feeling bad and self pity. I just need to get better at moving around with my crutches. Hey! I am pretty good now after using them for two weeks. I managed to cook my own meals and did laundry. I could stand on one foot to eat my meals. Quay Po "BOLEH"! (CAN). Are you proud of me? If yes, clap hands please. LOL!
The doctor estimated that it will take six to eight weeks for the bones to heal. He was concerned that the bones may not union properly. In that case, he said surgery is necessary. Wish me luck that I don't need that. I hope to be on my feet sooner than normal. I am eager to start cooking and blogging again. I miss you guys! Till I return, you all take good care. Don't be like clumsy Aunty Lucy, look before you leap! LOL!
Lots of love from Quay Po

Oh dear, Quay Po! I am so sorry to read about your fall. Just this weekend I had 3 baking disasters (yes!) and I was feeling so down. And when I read your post, geez, my failed cakes is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to what you and Quay Lo are going through! I hope that your bones will heal properly and that Quay Lo's infection clears off soon. Take care and hope to read more of your posts soon!

ReplyDeleteVeronica, so sorry to hear about your accident. I was in the same position as you, exactly 2 yrs ago. At least you had a wonderful time in Vegas. Hope your foot will recover soon, and you will be back on your feet!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
How unfortunate, get better soon.
ReplyDeleteso sorry all these things happened, good article!
ReplyDeleteOh...you are overseas right now. Was thinking about the "break"
ReplyDeleteAnyway hope you are recovering fast and will be back to walking soon. I am sure God has plans for you..maybe to tell u to slow down n relax. Anyway do hv a good break and reunion with the family.
Hope you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to all for your well wishes!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are better and out and about, but then it doesn't sound like this will get you down. I do think some things happen for a reason, then other times it is all so senseless and wonder why did it happen?
ReplyDeletehugs!!!
ReplyDeleteget well soon...waiting to see you back in action!
