I have had type I diabetes for 30+ years. My ability to heal is compromised and, reading this, whoa. I'd be in the chamber trying to find the funny and heal as well.

I've been in and out of hospitals most of my life for various surgeries and I'll tell you I'll never have surgery again unless it's an emergency. Anybody who doesn't like my wrinkly old face can kiss my wrinkly old butt. ;)<br />hugs, KarenKarenhttps://www.facebook.com/karenamanda1958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-13156435491627689442012-04-19T18:59:44.327-04:002012-04-19T18:59:44.327-04:00Barb, Hayden was a backspot and when the flyer, th...Barb, Hayden was a backspot and when the flyer, the girl who stands atop the mount, fell, she kicked back and hit Hayden just above the eyebrow splitting it. Hayden, who couldn't see because blood was gushing into her eyes, went over backward and the flyer landed on her face. So basically a hundred pounds dropped from over five feet was absorbed by her face. I was in the stands and by the time I got to her, her nose was completely mashed into her face. We can laugh about it now...as you know we do love to laugh at the blackness...but when I approached, having not yet seen her injury, I heard her say to the EMT's, "Is my nose broken? Can it be fixed?" at which point they, trying to keep her calm kinda dismissed her question with a " Ah..we don't know" at which point she yelped,totally in shock, "Listen, I am ugly because I'm not normally ugly. Her nose and a couple of other bones took the brunt of it and it all had to be surgically reconstructed the next day. She made her confirmation the following week and was scheduled to speak which we cancelled thinking she wouldn't be able to attend. The doc took her bandages of a day early to see if she could and lo and behold...almost exactly as she was. You'd have to be us to spot the difference. It really was a miracle.garedicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869654769594149589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-57478528478777440132012-04-19T16:58:26.338-04:002012-04-19T16:58:26.338-04:00Asking!!!!!
