Mom's Broken Wrist


It was nearly time to pick up kids from school,when I thought of a brilliant idea for decorating our front porch. So I found a step stool and was attempting to hang up looped grapevine when I took a spill and landed on my arms. I was pretty shook up- Jordan asked me if I was ok. I looked over to him and said I was fine. But something wasn't right with my right wrist. I was feeling light headed and I found myself calling Tarren, and trying to decide what to do. It was almost time to get the kids and I couldn't find anyone to help me. So I drove over to the school. The kids went to the neighbor while I drove myself to the ER. Xrays were taken/ a bone dr came over to consult/ it was broken at the joint and a fracture on the left elbow. Retraction was required for the right and I was bandaged up. I was released and met Tarren and the kids on the way out. Drove home. 2 1/2 weeks later I have a cast- Red for Christmas. Naturally I cannot work as a cashier. life has been interesting these past few weeks.
What Can I say its a story.
