Mid-October blog

Well, I'd like to say the real reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because I wanted my sister's birthday tribute to be up all this time. But, I guess it's more because of a hurried lifestyle and other things, like a fractured elbow.

Right. It turned out that my sore elbow was a fractured one. I went to Urgent Care last Sunday, and they took xrays and set me up with a sling and instructions to visit my regular clinic in 1-2 days. So, on Thursday I headed in to my clinic where they took more xrays. Yes, a fracture, but it's healing, and I should only wear the sling now for comfort. So, I'm going slingless these days and trying to remember to do the exercises my doc prescribed so my elbow doesn't freeze up.

The bruising (yes, it did bruise) and swelling (and swell) have gone down and life goes on. It's amazing all the things you use two hands for. Like getting dressed or washing your hair, for example.

I had Tim help me haul party stuff over to Bethel last weekend, as we had a celebration for one of "my" profs who just successfully defended his dissertation. For his celebration cake, Wuollet's bakery did a fantastic job with a picture I gave them--they did an artist's rendition of Dr. Andrew with balloons and confetti--it was an amazing work of art! We spent the whole party cutting around his face. It was delicious as well as beautiful.

The weather was cooler this week--although yesterday warmed up to the 60s. It will be weird having extended Daylight Saving Time this year--Halloween will be lighter later, as we don't get to "fall back" until the first weekend in November this year.

Hope to blog again soon!

Till next time,
