As most of you probably know by now I am not as young as I think I am (or want to be...LOL), and I fell while skating with Hannah at a birthday party and broke my arm. I really wouldn't even call it skating....I had just put them on and was on my way to the floor....I was still on the carpet!!!!!! I have never felt such pain and I have had three kids with no epidurals!! (it worked with Cole, thank heavens because he had a huge head!)
Fortunately Hannah's BFF's mother is a nurse and two other nurses were there that helped to splint me to get me to the ER (one of the nurses drove me....thanks Christine). Hannah stayed with a friend of mine until Amanda could pick her up. Poor thing looked so scared.
Well, I broke both bones in my lower arm just above my wrist and one was displaced so they had to sedate me with propofol (yes, the Michael Jackson drug) to set my arm. I had surgery last Wednesday to have a metal plate and pins inserted. I went back to work yesterday but typing with one hand is frustrating. I go back on Monday to get my stitches out and a new splint or cast (Hannah wants pink).
I have the best friends and family who have come to my rescue!!! Amanda kept calling me the day after to check on me. Marsha came over to do my laundry. And all my sisters have been helping me, especially Lisa, my wonderful neighbor....I owe her a daiquiri!!!!
I have only seen the kids for a few hours since my "accident" since I couldn't drive and was on pain meds but I finally get them tonight and CAN'T WAIT. I really miss them. There is some irony about this that I can't talk about...lol.
Hannah's birthday is on the 9th so I am trying to figure out what we are going to do, but I can tell you...she won't be having a skating party!
