Monday

I was laying face down, in the rain, at midnight with a broken and dislocated shoulder and a 90 lb black German shepherd on a leash wondering what the heck happened. I maneuvered my way to my glasses snd got the phone from my pocket. My first call was to my hubby to come get the dog. I didn’t want her there when the ambulance or cops showed up because I didn’t trust how they (or she) would react. The second call was to 911. Hubby thought I was crazy for worrying about our dog. Then I had to teach the ambulance crew how to improvise a sling to immobilize my arm.

Agreed. I was responding to a post suggesting there would be a question about it SSJVegeta Monday #10
