When a Crisis is Not Worse

I tripped on a step on the 18th and ended up with a fractured hand. I am now waiting for surgery on the 26th. It will be expensive and inconvenient for me and my family. My one-year old is not walking so is carried a lot and is heavy. Although it is frustrating and painful that this occurred, I know it could have been worse.

I'm grateful I wasn't holding my baby and it was my left hand - I am right-handed. It also would be more challenging if I hurt a foot or leg. I could be a single mom and not have the help of my spouse. My son could be younger and less able to help.

I will have to take each day as it comes in terms of pain management and caring for my child. Maybe I will become a more patient person and learn the value of slowing down, which could have prevented this crisis.
