Arm Update


For those of you who saw our family picture in a previous blog and, with your perceptive eyes, saw my left arm, you notice it's in a splint. I injured it on December 18th...not snowboarding or anything cool like that...I fell on the ice. It was a horrible fall, probably made everyone's day who saw it. Very ungraceful (which, I know, is so unlike me). The doctor said I sprained it, but I went back yesterday for more x-rays and sure enough, I fractured my radius!!! It's healing properly, and I have to go to physical therapy because not only is my arm awfully weak (as if it wasn't already to begin with) but I still can't extend it or bend it all the way. So...I guess I can put off exercise for another few weeks...how sad.

I guess I can't count on you to blow-dry my hair when the baby comes. Way to go!

I'm glad that you are finally admitting how weak you really are.

I was going to mention something, but I didn't want to embarrass you any more. :P I hope you're taking some ibuprofen or something, and that it doesn't hurt too badly. Stay in your splint (or cast, now, probably), and it'll be healed in no time. :) Glad you're okay!
