Mickey Mouse Club House

Layla loves watching Mickey Mouse Club House on the Disney channel. This gave me the perfect idea for the little room under the stairs I was planning on turning in to a play room for her. This was so much fun! And ... she loves it. :)

Lovely shades of green

Well, no surgery, and no more cast!  Hurrah!  I have a nice brace instead and the doctor said it is looking great.  I'm so relieved.  It's still very painful, and a lovely shade of green, which is odd because the broken bone is actually on the other side of my wrist (the radius, not the ulna).  I don't know why the bruising in on the other side.  But, the whole thing hurts, not just where it's broken, so perhaps I sprained it pretty good too.  Maybe next time I'll use a mat. ;)

My one / left handed life...

Is getting really old.  It's amazing what we take for granted in life, especially when it comes to our health and our bodies.  It's been two weeks and a couple of days since I broke my wrist and I'm so tired of it already.  I'm not sure yet how long I'm going to have this cast on as when I went in for another x-ray on Monday the Dr. was not happy that it had moved back to where it was before he set it.  He said it would be borderline "ok" if it stays where it is right now, but if it moves any more, he will have to repair it surgically.  Yikes!  I was not prepared to hear that.  Thinking about how much more time it might take to heal made me very unhappy.  He called me the next day to assure me that even if I do have surgery it wouldn't add much if anything to my recovery time because since it would be supported with pins I wouldn't need a cast and would have mobility in my wrist even faster.  So I guess it's not the end of the world.  I'd rather have it done right, even if it does take a little longer.
