Ouch, that hurt!

I went to see a friend yesterday who is in the hospital. She has some health issues and now has developed another problem - she can't walk. She can sit comfortably enough but any standing and she is at a pain threshold of 9/10 or 10/10. They have done a bunch of tests and they are now thinking they will give her a cordisone shot into her spine or disk or something and are hopeful she will find relief. She can't stand on her own - no balance - so this might be a painful injection but hopefully, helpful!

How is it that some people go through so much and others don't seem to? I am feeling more and more grateful for my health (nevermind all my little nigglies) and the simple fact that I can walk, and move around without pain (well, not too much except for my foot).

I do have a minor burn to contend with now. I was cooking chicken in the oven yesterday. My hubby was standing close beside me when I tried to look in to see if it was cooked and turned a piece over with my fork. About the same time as he was standing there (I was unable to pull the door down all the way but was holding it half-way open) and he said "Watch you don't burn yourself" when my upper arm leaned against the door! Yikes! It is amazing how quickly you react. At first, it stung, then it really stung but later it stung the most! I put a cold compress on it which did nothing to relieve the pain but eventually, it was fine. This morning I checked it and it is definitely going to be a big brown mark which will stay with me likely f o r e v e r (like most of my cuts & bruises now do). It is about 2x2 in size but ... fortunately ...I can't see it ... only those coming up from behind will notice! So much for sleeveless!

In an instant, a second, before you know it ... things happen. Be careful. I should listen to my own advice!
