Eleanor Roosevelt: You must do the thing you think you can not.
Oh- I am soooo sorry! I know I should be thinking of your lost trip, but I can only think about how you will go to the bathroom... Hope they heal well and quickly.
ReplyDeleteNOT EASY WITH ONLY 3 WORKING FINGERS...BUT I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK ON IT...SO FAR MANAGING
DeleteSondra, Sondra, Sondra. Only you could make me laugh after such dreadful news!! I am so sorry for your accident. Oh, my goodness. Well, a happy belated birthday to you coupled with get well wishes. I turned 59 last week, but I don't think I could do as much as you do!! And I'm quite active. As a matter of fact, I know I can't. We were repairing the deck and my job was to screw down the floorboards. Gues who didn't have enough weight and strength to put behind the drill? So my friend told me to go in and make quilts!! A man after my own heart!!
ReplyDeleteFACING CHALLENGES IS PART OF GROWING OLDER I GUESS...
DeleteNot the 'break' you was hoping for. One arm would be bad enough, but TWO! Double ouch.
ReplyDeleteI hope you make a quick recovery Sondra. And a belated birthday wish for you.
OMG! How will you hammer and paint?!? Just kidding. I'm so sorry to hear about your speed bump. I hope you're not in pain (or at least on good drugs LOL) Hopefully you'll heal quickly. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteITS A BUMMER FOR SURE SCREWS ALL MY PLANS...BUT CANT DO A DANG THING BUT WAIT NOW....I DROVE MYSELF TO THE ER THE DAY IT HAPPENED...BUT WITH THESE HARD CASTS I CANT DRIVE, HAMMER,PAINT,OPEN A DOOR PICK UP A PHONE OR REMOTE ..ITS PATHETIC.
DeleteHappy birthday and OMG!!!!!! So glad you are smiling. :) Good luck as you start this adventure?!?!
ReplyDeleteTHANK U KEITH...IM REALLY WONDERING HOW AM I GOING TO FACE THIS BOREDOM OF BEING UNABLE TO DO THINGS
DeleteOKAY...MY REPLIES ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE MY CASTED THUMB KEEPS HITTING THE SPACE BAR AND......
DeleteTHANKS JEN N STEVE...IVE LEARNED A FEW TRICKS ALREADY..I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THE DISABLED MORE NOW THAN EVER
Oh Sondra....oh my gosh....oh no. I can't believe you are laughing (and making us laugh) after that happened. I don't even know what to say...don't even know if I should wish you Happy Birthday because I guess it isn't gonna be the best one you ever had. I want to ask a lot of questions but I don't want you to feel like you have to answer. Nearly speechless ...I will be thinking about you, (for whatever good that does) but at least you know I care.
ReplyDeleteI WAS IN HIGH HOPES THE RIGHT ONE WAS ONLY SPRAINED...BUY NOPE...I HAVE TO BACK MONDAY TO SEE IF THE BREAK THEY SET STAYED IN PLACE..IF IT DID NO SURGERY IF IT DIDNT...BAD NEWS
DeleteOh my! I feel for you. BOTH hands out of commission. How will you ever be able to contain yourself? Glad you are getting company to help while away the hours.
ReplyDeleteITS NOT EASY...I CANT DO A DANG THING BUT TYPE WITH ONE FINGER....BOY IM GLAD OF THAT
DeleteOH no!!!!!! I can't believe you drove yourself to the ER with two broken arms!! You're nuts!! I mean that in a good way of course... That photo is hilarious, but I know it sucks big time...
ReplyDeleteit was not easy....but i didnt know the right wrist was broken since it didnt look deformed like the left...i thought it was a bad sprain...it was swelling..the er put avelcro brace on it....so i could drive with tht and i used me knee to help make turns..hindsight not a good idea...with the hard cast on now i cant drive at all
