Hi all, yesterday Friday 1 May was a stressful day for me I had to go and have an Xray done of my neck as I still have pain from when I fell on the cruise. However, I had only just got home when my doctor’s surgery called to tell me I had to go back and have a CT scan done of my neck asap. So, I went back and had that done the radiologist spoke to Sue and explained there was a small break in the neck.
After a couple of hours my doctor’s surgery rang and said I needed to go to emergency about the break, I didn’t want to go due to the time, but of course I did, Sue took me over and she stayed with me the whole time, I was there around 8hrs.
So, I have a C4 teardrop fracture at the back of my neck but thankfully not the front and the break is stable.
A C4 teardrop fracture is a serious injury to the cervical spine, typically caused by high-energy trauma such as a car accident or a heavy fall. This type of fracture occurs at the fourth cervical vertebra and is often associated with damage to the spinal cord, which can result in varying degrees of paralysis or loss of sensation below the level of the injury. In addition to bony damage, there may also be ligamentous injury and potential instability in the neck, making immediate medical attention critical to prevent further complications.
Symptoms of a C4 fracture vary depending on the injury’s severity and spinal cord involvement. Patients experience localized pain in the neck, which may radiate to the shoulders or arms. Muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms and legs are common. More serious neurological deficits, such as paralysis in the arms, hands, torso, and legs, or even loss of diaphragm function requiring ventilator assistance, can occur with spinal cord involvement. Recognizing these symptoms and seeking prompt medical attention is important to prevent further damage.
I now have to go back to my GP and arrange to have an MRI done to check for ligamentous injury.
So what does this mean in the long run, well it is still a serious cervical spine injury a future fall could cause loss of stability in the fracture which would not be good. As this could cause damage to the spinal cord resulting in problems breathing, difficulties moving my arms, loss of sensation in my body.
Worsening of the fracture as in an increased displacement, new cracks, or involvement of other vertebrae. As well as soft‑tissue injury to ligaments, discs, and muscles around the fracture can be damaged, reducing stability.
Then there are delayed neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in coordination.
So even a “simple” fall — tripping, slipping, or landing awkwardly can transmit force through the neck. So, a stable C4 teardrop fracture can stay stable if protected, but a fall can change the situation quickly.
I had an early start woke at 3.45am to pee couldn’t settle again so got up at 4am, the first thing I did was have a shower. I had a good 9hrs of sleep.
Then I had to clean the kitchen and start the laundry before unpacking the dishwasher and making myself a milk shake.
After hanging the washing out, I went for my daily walk it has been a warm day.
This afternoon I was folding the clothes up and felt extremely exhausted and Tim asked me what was wrong I told him I was exhausted and he said how about I do the yard work, and he does the housework, I replied how about you have Parkinson’s and I don’t. He said what’s that got to do with it, every bloody thing that’s what.
Here I am on Monday morning been up since 4.20am had a good 9hrs of sleep again it is now 5.45am and the temp is 13c or 55f.
I have had a busy morning sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, changed the bed sheets.
Tim hung the washing on the outside clothesline. He is off today as it is a public holiday.
It warmed up to 23c or 73f.
Steps: 8,937 = 4.5k’s of 2.7 miles
I had a so-so night, I was up and out of bed by 3.30am due to being in so much pain, the pain is on the left side of my neck and my right hip as well as my back from the middle down. I still feel a bit tired, but I am doing ok I am functioning. I had around 6hrs of sleep.
It is 11c or 52f at 4am and it is supposed to warm up to 22c.
Sue said she things I should see the doctor to make sure all is ok since I have been in pain and have limited movement in my neck since I fell over on the cruise. So I now have an appointment tomorrow.
I had an hour a nap after lunch, but by 6.30pm I was falling asleep in my armchair so off to bed I go.
Steps: 8,226 = 4k’s or 2.4miles
I had a good night slept through to 4am when I got up to pee felt awake and decided to stay up. I had around 9hrs of sleep. The temp at 5am is 13c or 55f.
I have made a doctor’s appointment for 11.24am, seen the doc he wants me to get an Xray done of my neck just to be sure all is good.
Sandy said I might have a slipped disc I hope she is wrong.
Sandy rang to tell me she can no longer deal with Landon’s violent nature so has informed DCJ of that and he is being returned to his mum. Sandy has done the best she could and did make some progress but her own daughter is not in a good place mentally and she wants to focus on her needs. She will let Landon know she is only a phone call away if he needs to talk to someone.
Michelle has gone on and on about wanting her kids back and now that she is getting Landon back, she doesn’t really want him because he will interrupt her life.
Steps: 9,809 = 5k’s or 3miles
Another early start to the day and I was up later last night it was 8pm when I went to bed. I slept well till 3am when I got up to pee but found it hard to settle again, so at 4am I got up and had my shower.
I am feeling good this morning no morning walk because I am going shopping with Sue.
I have had a good day I washed the ramp outside after sweeping it and I vacuumed and washed the towels all before Sue picked me up.

A good night managed 7hrs of sleep was up at 4.30, washed, dressed and ready for the day, first task of the day unpack the dishwasher and clean the kitchen.
Tim doesn’t sound good this morning he sounds like he has a cold.
I went and had my Xray done but after I got home, I had a phone call from the doctor’s surgery letting me know I now need a CT scan done today.
So, I have had the CT scan done and it turns out I have a small break in a bone in my neck. I am now waiting to hear from my GP as to what he wants to do next.
The GP sent me to the emergency room where I am going now, and I expect to be there till sometime late tonight.
Steps: 8,498 = 4.3k’s or 2.6 miles
I slept well after finally getting home at around 10.50pm, I spoke to Tim for a bit then went to bed.

So it seems I have a stable C4 teardrop fracture in my neck, I have to see my GP and get referred for an MRI.
There were many phone calls to Sue during the time at the hospital, a good reminder of how much my; family love me.
Yes, I am worried about falling over again. I cannot let my fear of falling over again to stop me walking each day.
On our first night on the cruise the ship is moving a lot, and there was a lot of announcements telling guest to hold on to handrails or walk close to the wall if they are feeling unsteady.
I did feel the ship moving but once I was in bed I didn’t notice it and had a good 9hrs of shut eye. I was still up at 5am and spent time writing my diary entry and drafting a letter to my penpals.
We had breakfast in the Botticell Dining room, and we will not be going back there, there service was so slow, and Tim didn’t like what he ordered. The bacon was so crispy it hurt our teeth; the waiter told us we should have ordered English bacon.
Jess started to feel sick with motion sickness and skipped breakie and return to her cabin to sleep, she in fact spent the rest of the day sleeping.
After breakie Sue and I went to hear a talk about Hobart and Port Arthur it was interesting but due to how much the ship was rocking I start to feel unwell, so we left before it ended.
After lunch Sue and I returned to our cabins for a nap, I was woken by my alarm for medication. I walked into the bathroom feeling great lost my balance or tripped I don’t know which and fell, I hit my head and ended up with a bruise on my arm, a sore right knee and a very sore and stiff neck. I managed to stand and walk back to the bed get my phone and ring Sue. I tried to ring Tim but couldn’t. Sue turned up in only a couple of minutes she was still in her nightie and barefoot and left her medallion in her cabin, she checked me over then returned to her cabin. She had to knock loudly on the door to wake Jess up to let her back in the cabin. She told Jess about my fall and assured I was alright, so Jess went back to sleep.
Sue messaged Tim and as soon as he saw the message he came back to check on me.
I am bruised and sore, in fact today I went and saw my GP because I still have a pain and stiffness in my neck and I have to have an Xray just to make sure all is good.
Good morning all it is 5.30am the temp is 11c or 52f, after Tim gets up, I will pack my Cpap machine, we will be picked up around 10ish.
The trip to Sydney went well the driver was a nice guy can’t remember his name. Tim talked to him all the way down.
We didn’t have to wait around as we converted the walker to a wheelchair and that helped us skip the long line.
It has been a long day with a lot of walking most of it done trying to find food. It took ages but we managed it after eating we return to our cabins; well Sue and I did Tim and Jess did a bit more exploring. I am so worn out and my feet hurt.
I am so glad Sue and Jess are with us.

We are going on a tour at Port Arthur the ticket said not suitable for those with mobility issues, I didn’t notice that when I booked the tour, oh well we will see what happens.
Sue and I decided not to go on the Port Arthur tour which turned out to be the right choice as both Jess and Tim said it was too much for either of us.
Instead, we stayed on board and checked out the photos that have been taken of us and both Sue and I bought 2 photos.
After lunch I had a nap because I had three Baked Alaska cocktails and needed a nap.

Before breakie while I was alone, I went for a walk outside around the pool twice before heading in to have breakie.
After breakfast I was just wondering around the ship when I went to get into a lift only to have Sue exit said lift.
I bought a Coke Zero with a glass of ice at the international café and took it with me to the Fusion Lounge to take part in the quiz. Well, I lifted the glass to have a drink, and the bottom fell off the glass hitting my right knee and getting Coke and ice all over my leg and foot. Sue picked up the glass and went over to the bar to tell them what happened and they didn’t seem to care and did nothing. Sue had to get some napkins to mop it up. I was in shock. After the quiz we went and lodged a complaint.
Sue, Tim and Jess are going to play Bingo this afternoon. I am not interested in bingo.
Went to the burger place for dinner and Tim went on about the burgers not having beetroot so much that I used a firm voice and told him to get over it.

We then meet up with Tim, and I had a couple of Baked Alaska’s then I had a nap.
After my nap me and Sue went to check out a music quiz then Sue went for a smoke and the ladies giving free sample massages was set up so we got that, but they wanted us to pay $99 for a full half hour massage but we both said we couldn’t afford it. That was when the sample massage ended it was only a minute or two long, but it did feel good.

Tim said that he had died but was revived and the coast guard decided to medivac him a to a hospital. Sadly, his wife was unable to go with him.

Good morning, another damn early start I was up at 4.15 and had a shower before starting my day. It is 21c or 69f my BGL is 6.6 and I had around 7hrs of sleep.
I went back to bed at 7am for an hour, I feel ok after that nap. At 9.45am I was watching TV and started to fall asleep and my back was aching. Then my hearing aid battery died so got up and changed seats.
After having another nap between 11 & 12 I am feeling great.
Tim is working tonight.
A late night for me it has just gone 9pm and I’m to bed, fingers crossed I sleep better.
Another early start up at 4.20am, it is 19c or 66f again this morning but like yesterday I expect it will heat up.
Tim and I went to the Reject shop, and I bought a number of things.
Tasha and Blain are still at it, Tasha said he blocked her on Facebook he said he didn’t, but he has a new account, and she hasn’t been added and he isn’t planning to do so. I feel this is somewhat childish.
Tasha sent me a long text about how she is feeling, which I am not sharing here but it hurt me how she is feeling so unloved and unappreciated and there is nothing I can do. It all started because Blain didn’t come to see his mum on her birthday.

Natasha and Blain are having an issue he isn’t coming to see her for her birthday, and this has upset Tasha. I get how she feels but she always says birthdays are just another day.
For some reason, I got it into my head that I had done something to piss Tasha off and sent her a text saying sorry, she came down gave me a hug and said I hadn’t said or done anything to upset her.
