@lynn, I'm so sorry to hear about your serious fall. I can imagine how scary that was for you. I'm really glad to hear that you're receiving excellent medical care and support and are on the road to recovery. I'm sending lots of love, strength and healing energy your way. I also join you in sending healing light to anyone who has health challenges. May they receive whatever physical, mental or emotional support they need to fully heal.
@ghandigirl sending you healing, and sending your children love and protection that they get a teacher as wonderful as you, once all settles down there. I'm getting deja vu about this situation and wonder if it happened before at another school or perhaps that was a different person. Those children were so lucky to have had you as a teacher. I can attest to the fact that very young children remember their whole lives when they had a loving caring teacher. I know that I have remembered my kindergarten and first and third grade teachers for their loving acceptance and kindness. You will find another place and those new children will get a chance to have a loving warm fun and kind teacher---you!
@lynn sending you loving Reiki energy to assist in healing your eyes socket rapidly. I admire your fortitude and positive attitude. They will go a long way in helping you heal. Be well.
Thank you all so much! This morning I'm going to an optomology institute near where I live (again, lucky to have the resources!) and the doctors there will determine the treatment plan, and whether I will need surgery. Your prayers and thoughts have had tremendous effect as after only two days out from the fall, I am so much better than I expected to be. I'm really surprised by how much better I feel.
I'll keep you posted. I am so thankful and grateful for this community.
@lynn bless you. What a difficult injury. Praying for your continued healing and well-being. ❤️
Hi Folks,
Thanks for everyone for your love and support. I just wanted to give you the latest update. I went to the eye clinic yesterday, and probably got the best news I could have gotten. My vision is normal and my eye isn't damaged. The less great news is that the break is large, and my eye has receded about 1-2 mm. That said, the opthalmologist wants to wait a couple of weeks for the swelling to go down, and also because he thinks it's possible for the bone to heal itself enough that the eye will reposition on its own. If that doesn't happen then I will need surgery, but even then he told me they've done this kind of thing thousands of times and the outcome is expect to be a good one. So, please keep me in your thoughts, and send your healing vibes to my left lower eye socket and my left eye in general.
I'm not one for too much sharing, but I have wanted to include our community in this difficult time for me because I am feeling like lessons and gifts are coming with this freak accident. I've had "bad" things happen before that felt random and pointless. This feels different. I am feeling guided and also reminded of all the good I have in my life, and how lucky I really am. I feel compelled to share this feeling with you. We all have our challenges, but if you are lucky enough to have access to healthcare (and I know not everyone does) it puts us in a privileged category. Should it be this way? No. In a civilized society this should be a right, but for as long as it's not, it's the luck of the draw for many, and those who have this benefit are lucky indeed.
While I was waiting for my appointment, there was a lady there with her two teen boys. She was having a terrible ear ache (the clinic is an eye and ear clinic) and asked me, in Spanish, what kind of payment the clinic accepted. We spoke a bit and it was clear to me that she doesn't have legal status or any kind of insurance. It was another reminder that here we were, both of us sitting together in the same place, yet occupying different worlds. My concerns were about my recovery, hers were about how to pay for a visit. Count your blessings, Lynn, the universe was telling me. Look for the good you already have.
Much love to you all!
