While I was at my mother's, I was going too fast to have time to write, doing so many things I lost track of them all. For a period of time now I'll be doing fewer things. Who knows? I may just do less but write more.
The Things I Get To Do Today are learn how to do with my left hand and learn how to do with one hand--for awhile. "Shop till I drop" is not a good motto for a non-shopper. Caught my toe, took a fly, broke a bone in my wrist. Plenty of room for me in the slow lane.
Ouch!! I fractured my right bone at the wrist last year but was too dumb to go get it xrayed for 2 mos. Yes, it was not fun trying to do things with the left hand... took a long time to learn. Hope your's heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Farm Gal. It's already well on its way. Learning new things every day and loving it. An adventure always holds the promise of good things, and I'm having a grand one time.
DeleteOr just "grand time."
DeleteFor crying out loud. Guess you will be at half throttle for a bit.
ReplyDeleteTook the words right out of my mouth! Speed is already picking up.
DeleteOh no, get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abby. Nearly well already! It's just a state of mind.
DeleteYikes! Trying to brush my teeth with my left hand was always something funny to see! Good luck adapting to this new way of doing things ... let me know if I may be of any service to you in any way.
ReplyDeleteSo grateful for the electric tooth brush. I'll be in touch! Thanks for the offer of help.
DeleteOoh, ouch! Life in the slow lane isn't so bad, for a while.
ReplyDeleteVery little initial pain and none now. Life is very good.
DeleteThat is one way to slow Handy Andy down! Ouch! Hope it heels well. Take advantage of any help!
ReplyDeleteAlready picking up a little speed--mostly finding that I can still do just about everything except crack eggs. But I am taking the time to reflect and enjoy all of this!
DeleteSending magic bubbles to swirl around you and make you better- very soon!

I can feel it getting better by the moment! Magic is always welcome. Love to you, Sweet One.
DeleteHi Andrea, I got a small splinter fracture in my right wrist last year from
ReplyDeleteslipping on wet leaves while walking the dog (of course) last fall. I was just soooooo grateful that I didn't mess my shoulder up again, that every time I looked at it I truly was relieved and happy.
Then when I was in the waiting room at Kaiser to have it checked out, this little girl came skipping out with a bright pink neon cast on her arm. She was obviously very delighted with her new adornment and had bright pink tennis shoes to match.
I decided right then that I was going to have fun with this too. So I got a wonderful purple colored cast and decorated it with silver glitter sparkles when I got home. Everyone commented on how beautiful and magical it looked.
I had my nails done and wore light silver sparkle polish to match. I put the polish over the white gauze areas on the cast as well because the gauze would get dirty so quickly. Basically it turned out to be an art project that I would redo every time I had a new cast put on.
I ended up doing almost everything with the cast on. My thumb got sore from bending over the cast and I was ready to get it off when the time came, but overall it was a surprisingly fun adventure.
I had worked so hard, along with your help, to get my shoulder strong again after dislocating it, my gratitude for not messing it up again never waned. Looks like you're already finding the up side of this, Andrea . . . lots of gifts to be found in the slow lane. xoxo
I'm on it, Girl! Got the purple cast! Gold nail polish coming up! Thanks for the very positive thoughts on this, dear one.
