Monday is our date night. We have been doing it for years. I look forward to all weekend when I have worked and am busy. And we had a very busy week at work with lots of emergencies.
So we had a nice cold beer and a great meal. We were visiting with friends, nice and relaxed. I decided to run downstairs at the restaurant we were at and use the ladies room. And on the way back I ran up the stairs. And tripped. I put my left hand out to catch my fall. Such a klutz. I heard and felt the bone snap and knew immediately I had broken it my wrist. I have broken my toe, but this was much much worse.
Supporting my wrist with one hand I told Rick, we have to leave right now. NOW. He could tell by the urgency in my voice I meant it and we left. I was afraid I would burst into tears in the restaurant and make a fool of myself.. What's wrong? Rick asked. I broke my wrist. What? Are you sure you didn't just sprain it? By this time the wrist was deformed and swollen. I showed him my wrist and he knew also. Oh brother.
The hospital was very busy with so many emergencies we had to wait a long time. My wrist was killing me but as a nurse I knew it wasn't literally killing me and some people were bad enough to die. So I gritted my teeth and did my deep breathing and sucked it up. I must have been slightly shocky because I was chilling and so cold.
So here I sit with a cast again and off work which I can't afford. What a bummer. I hope and pray my wrist heals fast. Sheesh, who would have thought tripping and catching your fall up stairs would make your wrist break. What whimpy bones I have. And its my bad wrist. which was feeling so good.
So whine whine. Once again I am laid up.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I'll be praying for a quick recovery for you. Hang in there.
Yes, but inbetween whines, you get an awful lot done...you cannot say that for everyone.~Mary
Oh no! What a terrible thing to happen to you! I immediately thought 'money' when you said you had broken it. It's how everyone would think in these thrift enforced times. Especially with the wedding coming up too. I'm so sorry my friend! It's easily done! I have fallen upstairs myself and fortunately only sprained my wrist. Drat too, that it is your bad one!
One thing after another sometimes...yes?
Not a nice way to end your date...that's for sure.
I hope it isn't hurting too much today and that you heal quickly.
Sheesh! I feel for you.

Sending prayers for you. My cousin slid down the steps during our ice storm and broke her arm in two places, she tried to break her fall. She didn't even know there was any ice since it was dark. Helen
