If only my non resolution worked as well at not happening as my real ones d0! Last night I was talking to my mom, and I needed to go over some info I had in the garage
. I didn't want to keep her on hold for to long, so I rushed to the garage. In my hurried excitement, I forgot about the step that goes into the garage, and poof, fell down, broke my left arm. Maybe if I didn't work from home and actually went into the garage on a daily basis it wouldn't have happened. Just one of the hazards of working from home I guess. When it happened, I stood up and thought I could shake it off. I made it about 10 steps before the pain set in and made me dizzy and very light headed. The Dr's at the ER were really nice. They put me in a splint, gave me some good pain pills and sent me home. I am bummed because it is busy season at work, and ALL of my work is on the computer, and I now have three season ski passes I won't be able to use until mid Feb. Oh well, I guess it could be worse. I broke my left wrist, so at least it isn't my writing arm. Th

follow up for a real cast is next Tuesday. I think I am going to ask for a bright, fun cast. That way it won't be as depressing when I look at it. They have to wait for all the swelling to go down first. Right now it looks like I have a freaky growth on the top of my hand. ER doc said that it looks like a clean break and doesn't think surgery is necessary. The ortho will be able to confirm this during my follow up visit. Luckily, I have the best husband ever! Andrew is taking very good care of me and won't let me do anything to further aggravate it. We will see how long that last :) On the bright side, I just got a pass on most household chores for six weeks. Andrew is wonderful!

that is crazy, but at least you don't have to do chores, wish i could manage that. Just this moring I was fixing my lunch for work and Jim Bob yelled, "what's for breakfast?". I said whatever you make. lol
You REALLY need to go out more. Wish we lived closer to yall so I could come over and baby you a little even though I know that Andrew is doing a super job of taking care of you.
So sorry you broke your arm. Wish I could help you too.
