broken arm!


i fell down on the sidewalk yesterday and broke my arm! it's a very small, insignificant fracture, but very painful because i also twisted my arm when i fell, so i have a cast from shoulder to elbow! i only have to keep the cast for 8 days ( i told you it was a tiny fracture) and i can't wait to get it off. i never had a cast on, and when the doctor finished i told him my arm was claustraphobic and to please take it off.
i think the painkillers had kicked in then. but the cast took the pain away, so today i feel rather silly with it on. Not to mention clumsy. (my son pointed that out.)

the puppy is being a perfect angel. he looks so mischievous, but he doesn't do any of the silly puppy things most puppies do - he only chews his toys and bed, and he's nearly completely housetrained. he and rusty are almost best of friends - and i'm watching the complete series of LOST - which is keeping me glued to the TV and away from the computer!!
here is the new cover -

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about your arm, Sam! I broke my wrist and then my ankle awhile ago (no breaks when I was a kid--only now that I’m a klutzy adult! LOL) and I know it’s no picnic to be in a cast. The best part was the zippy happy feelings I got from the painkillers. :-0

The new cover is gorgeous! The artist did a beautiful job.

Take care, kiddo!

Aww, poor Sam! ((((HUGS)))) I hope you feel better very, very soon and the cast comes off when expected.

Take care of yourself!

Impressive book cover!
And I hope you get mended soon. A couple of years ago I slipped on a grape while doing cleanups at a daycare I was working at. Put my arm out to stop the fall and twisted it from the elbow. Thought it was sprained but it was a tiny fracture. I didn't have a cast on though and it mended quite quickly but I did go to physio to help out later.

Heal quick, hopefully the pain will go away even faster.

Don't you love LOST? I started watching it this year and need to see the entire first series, though KristieJ emailed me a great synopsis of the first season, so I feel like I know what is going on.
