I live in Central Florida. Through my own stupidity, plus a quirk in my personal equipment, I am one of the early victims of hurricane Milton.
I spent hours on Monday getting ready for the storm. I had all my big potted plants in the garage. l was on my last task and I needed scissors, which were on the table behind me. Ok, I'm going to insert a bit of information. I've mentioned this in other threads, but not recently. I am a dinosaur, part of a dying breed. I had polio when I was a kid and now,many years later, I use a three wheel scooter for mobility. So I'm baking up without looking behind me, which is where the stupidity comes in. The quirk is that when backing up, if my scooter encounters a barrier, rather than stopping it tries to climb over what ever is in it's way. The result is my scooter starts to tip over. Mostly I can react quickly enough by switching from reverse to forward and stop it from going over. I was not successful this time and the scooter just rolled right over, dumping me knees first onto the concrete garage floor. OUCH! I thought right away it was broken. I dug my purse out from under me, called, 911, the fire department showed up and took me to the emergency room. Yep it was broken. Not a bad break. The corner of the bone is cracked at the joint. After hours of consultation they decided I don't need surgery or a cast. They ordered a knee brace for me to hold the joint still so it can heal. Later a valiant gentleman brought it directly to the hospital even though his company had already closed in advance of Milton. He was so nice and I was so excited to be able to go home. Bad news the brace was way too long for my leg, so they have to order another one. And remember I said they were closed? So no brace till after Milton departs. But again Mr Valiant jumped in. He placed the order himself to save time rather than wait for the hospital staff to do it. So there is a small hope that it will be here Friday. Meanwhile I am stuck in the hospital where they won't let me get out of bed. There is no worse torture for me than to have to sit still. There is some good news. Quite a bit actually. I am in a hospital which multiple people have assured me is the safest place in s hurricane. I will not be alone during the storm. The food is pretty good here and I will not have to cook. They have huge generators so the lights will not go out. I am not in a lot of pain, except for the torture of having to sit in this bed for days. There will be people with much larger problems than mine. I know what happened to me is pretty insignificant. Thanks for listening. Smooches, Keri I'm posting from my phone and can't manage changing the font and color, but it's me |

We are in central Fl as well. I am not watching too much TV ATM, as it will "change" constantly. SO, I will watch it later this afternoon.
I will check in as I can, and outer bands will begin to reach us around 5pm, then downhill from there! NOTE: iamkeri......we are very sorry to hear of your accident. IF we can do anything for you, please reach out! Sends healing hugs & vibes from us. Everything is weird around us.....just silence, dark cloudy skies, & rain. That will change in next few hours.

iamkeri1 I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I would think it's a horrible feeling to have to leave your house at a time like this without time to prepare. However, I'm glad you'll have people around you, food, and assistance with your injury.
Clay, you know you and yours are in my thoughts too. We'll be watching for updates. Let us know if you need help getting weather info or anything else we might be able to assist with. |
