Yet Another Cast

I just got another cast on my hand. Yikes... under was revealed a still very swollen and badly bruised hand and arm. Mercy me. So for those who have had a cast removed, you know the drill. But for me, this was a first. And it hurt like mad.

Now I am in a new cast for 3 more weeks - things seem to be healing nicely, says the doc. That's good news. But this hand - so sore. I have to type pretty much with my right hand, and one finger on my left hand. It takes me twice as long to get any thing done. Dressing myself, brushing my teeth, fixing food. And as for a shower, good thing we installed a walk-in tub. I can sit and hubby can wash my hair and rinse me off.

I figure this is what happened to me. I was walking along out of the bank in town. So close to my house. Then suddenly I am on the ground. I think some unknown force lifted me up and slammed me down. How else would you explain no other bruises anywhere? Weirder things have been know to happen...

Something nice tonight, though. A lady from church and her daughter brought over a basket of fruit with fresh flowers sprinkled on top. AHHH.... So nice of them. A nice little gesture to make my heart happy.

Be careful out there. Just saying ...
