Feeling ill....

Ok.....so I broke my arm.

And - no, I'd like to say that I slipped on the ice

but.....

I was actually stepping over the puppy gate

which we had temporarily put back up and my slipper 

got caught on it causing me to fall to the floor.

It's a radial head fracture which....due to it's 

placement near the elbow, they don't immobilize

for long because doing so will cause your elbow to

"freeze up" on you.  I had a splint for 2 days and a sling for 7

I've been without the sling now for 1-1/2 weeks.  I even

went back to work yesterday.  I have several restrictions however,

no lifting, repetitive movement, or weight bearing through

that arm.  And wouldn't you know, it's my right arm and being

right handed has made life extremely difficult.

THE WORST PART OF ALL.....

I COULDN'T MAKE CARDS!!!!!

REALLY??  COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN MY LEG OR 

SOMETHING.  WHAT FUN IS IT TO BE OFF OF

WORK FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND NOT BE ABLE TO

MAKE ANY CARDS!!!

I'M HAVING SERIOUS WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS

HERE!!!
