This week was the oddest week my family has endured in a long time.
It began with me heading to the Patient First in Lutherville (a local immediate care facility) on Sunday, and finding out I have a sinus infection, therefore missing my 13th Baltimore Ravens home game since 1996.
Wednesday, my parents arrived in town for Thanksgiving, and my mother promptly fell and broke her arm on my driveway. Back to the Patient First, this time a much more dramatic trip, as her wrist was broken in two places.
Thursday, we had 30 guests at our home for Thanksgiving, and the night began with my husband cutting off part of his finger, and yes, the third trip of the week to the Patient First.
Friday had us with an extremely long wait at the orthopedist for them to ensure the wrist did not need repositioning or surgery. (Luckily no, and mom went with the fluorescent pink cast to show her 5 year old students at school).
Saturday brought me back to the Patient First (yes, trip #4 this week -- we have been joking here that they need to either change the name to "Kirk First" or we should at least get a reserved parking spot!) because my sinus infection wasn't much better, and they changed my antibiotic.
So those are the Adventures of a Kirk family Thanksgiving.
I am very thankful for the wonderful people at Patient First at Greenspring Station, and for their amazing care of my family this week, and am grateful we live close by to be able to receive their services.
I am thankful also for the the fact that my family is on the mend, and things were not more serious.
I am also grateful for my social media friends who were praying, caring, and worrying for me during this time.
In this month of Thanksgiving, I have found many things to be thankful for, and I hope you have found life to be the same for you!
