Yipppppeeeee!!!!!

I went up the hospital today sat in various queues- plaster off with circular saw while technician chatted happily and I wonder how many people get sliced. My friend told me it stops on contact with skin but how do I know that's not just an urban myth. Queue for X-ray and then was happily queuing again - for no reason it turns out coz I should have gone straight to nurse ('DIDN'T YOU READ THE SIGNS?') there were lots of signs but obviously I didn't read the important one. And they said it was fine though they pointed to fracture healing that I hadn't known was there as the last time they pointed to a different fracture. Never mind - it was my arm and the 'after' shots definately looked better than 'before' x rays. They sent me to physio and I cut to the important stuff and asked when I could dig and she reackons 8-12 weeks. I wasn't expecting that long but luckily have volunteers lined up. I usually use digging to offset PMT so I guess I will just have to shout instead or write. We have a new laptop and I am still using old delapidated one and feel unsure whether to transfer to new or keep using this rickerty one. The sensible thing would be to let go of this on. Can I do it- go on girl let go.....
I am the girl who at college sewed her shoes up to get more wear out of them coz hate wasting anything. Will post some photos soon - hellebores in garden beautiful deep pink almost plum colour. Before I can do that have to decide which laptop to download to. It's sunny here - have a lovely day.

  3. you mean I shouldn't have shot off down the road on my daughters 75cm high scooter to celebrate. nothing was broken. however did turn down invitation to go clubbing as thought that was pushing it - haven't been for over a year and the excitement would have led me to leap off the stage or some other unsuitable act.
    thanks all for good wishes.

  6. I bet your arm felt as light as feather when they removed the cast. I remember that feeling after having one removed following a break in my wrist!

  7. It was a fibre glass cast so it wasn't that heavy. The initial cast -half one was of plaster and that was heavy - a real shock to my shoulder when they first put it on. Nice to meet you. :)
