Last Night we were in the midst of wrapping up the first part of our DCGO Team retreat at Prairie Camp with some free time, when I took a nasty spill on the gym floor. The result was lots of blood everywhere, a gash over my right eye, lots of pain on the right side of my face and a trip to the emergency room.
After spending nearly 4 hours in the emergency room at Goshen General Hospital the results were...
(1) 6 stitches to close that nasty gash above my right eye
(2) Broken blood vessels in/on my eye
(3) Multiple facial fractures on the right side of my face (which became apparent following a CAT Scan).
I'm recovering at home with a good dose of pain medication and antibiotics which leave me quite tired and woozy. I'll be visiting a plastic surgeon early next week to make sure that I won't need surgery. There is some concern because one of the fractures is close to my right eye and another is near my sinus cavity. In all, I fractured between 4-5 bones although luckily most were small fractures.
I'm already beginning to feel better and am hopeful for a good report from the Plastic Surgeon next week. I'd definitely appreciate your prayers for a full and speedy recovery!
