We have a new cat and how I fell on June 15.

Of all things that happened last week, Donnie's ex wife had to move out of her house by June 9th. She had no place to take her cat so her daughter brought the cat here on Wednesday June 9. The cat's name is Tabbers. She is a pretty long haired calico. We already have a cat named Maizy. They had lived together several years ago. But now they are 2 9 year old cats that need to get reacquainted. So far, Tabbers lives downstairs and Maizy is upstairs.
As I said in the last post, I went to the doctor on Monday, June 14. The next day, Tuesday June 15th we had a heavy rain in the afternoon. Donnie cleaned the turtle tank but he did not wash the rocks. I had to run several errands. On the way home, I noticed that the clouds were billowing higher and higher. They looked so neat, I dropped Donnie's 12 pack of Icehouse and his supper off, grabbed my camera and went to the river to take pics of the neat clouds. It was a beautiful evening. And the clouds were over Moline and also behind me, over Bettendorf. When I left the river, I noticed the Bettendorf clouds were getting darker. So, I drove north on 23rd street and there were telephone lines in the way to take a good pic. I finally ended up in the Blockbuster parking lot and took a neat picture of a cloud over Schnuck's grocery store. All around the clouds were so high up. I have never seen anything like it. While looking up to get the next picture, I stepped on a big rock in the parking lot and I went flying and fell down and skidded on my forearm. I also hit my knee and I think my hip landed on my keys dangling from my front pocket because the italian charm keychain that Sherry made me got crushed. Anyway, there was a van in the parking lot about 30 feet away. I know they saw me on the ground but no one came over to help me. Someone was pulling in the lot the moment I fell. I hollered at them to see if they had seen me fall and he said no. He asked if I was ok. I told him no but I will be ok. So he didn't even come over and check on me. grrr I was so mad, I just sat there and kept taking pictures! LOL My elbow was bleeding and my are was scraped. My knee felt sore. It was hard to figure out how to get up off the ground because I usually lean on my right hand and right knee and they were very sore. I finally rolled over and got up. I went over to the folks in the van. I told them that I wasn't sitting there for my health, that I had fallen. I showed the gal my bloody elbow. She asked if I wanted a bandaid. I just said no and walked away. When I got in the van I noticed that there was a big welt on my forearm. I thought it could be a bone sticking out. I told Donnie when I got in that I needed to go to the ER. He took me in his truck. I showed my arm to my neighbors Laura and Bonnie before I left.
Xray's were taken and it was not broken. A blood vessel broke and filled in under the skin. So glad it was not broke, but now it was starting to hurt and so did my knee and hip. It was a rough night sleeping. I went back today, Wednesday, June 16, and I found the rock that caused me to trip. It is so strange, it is shaped like a shoe for a RIGHT foot! I will keep it always.
