I hope you're right-handed. That just sucks.

And pleurisy on top of that???

Good grief.

You are overdue for some very good luck for the foreseeable future.

Still, holding a camera has been less than pleasant. lol

I'll be fine. Just needed to whine. A little rest, a little heat, and a few pain-killers should get me through.

It just isn't much fun in the meantime!

Please take care!

and hoping you recover quickly

I appreciate that.

Your wrist will be fine (I've done that a couple times myself)
I hope that your treatment for the pleurisy is painless and super effective!

"Blue Roses" indeed!

I've got a couple of drugs. Mostly for discomfort/pain/inflammation.

I'll be taking it easy for the next several days. SO said he'd water the garden for me.

I'm so very sorry. I too hope you are right handed. Memories flood back when I broke my upper arm (left - and I'm right handed) 2 years ago and just how much trouble that was. But I came back, and so will you.

Rest, read, take advantage, let them wait on you if at all possible, and see if you can find something positive.

Now I have to go and google pleurisy. I may have more words of wisdom after that.
I'm smiling but I'm not at all tickled.

I'm so sorry.

I thought about you while at the hospital. I am right-handed. I'll be OK.

Just wanted to whine. I hit a rock while digging and my wrist just snapped. Very weird. (to me anyway)

I'm not happy. Do what the doctor's say. I rarely do and always regret it.

And now its vitamin D and Calcium and a bone scan, I bet.

The good news is that Halle my little female green singer finch bird got right over the fact I took away her non-fertile eggs, and she is already laying again. And Lujah is singing to keep her happy. Two eggs down, one every morning til it's 3 or 4 and then she sits again for a couple of weeks.

With your (real) name, I can name whatever hatches first after you. Male or female. Photos will follow.
RIGHT!

I hope they become parents. Be shame not to after all that work.

Pleurisy is surprisingly painful. I'll be taking it easy and following doctor's orders.

A flower to make you feel better.

Thank you!

Course, at the rate I'm going, I'd just impale myself on the thorns.

Because those things transmit the shock right into your wrist when you hit something. I hate them, always go with wood handles if I have a choice.

I didn't see that it was a rock and I kept plunging the trowel into the opening in the dirt. I heard the snap. Got sick at my tummy. I was trying to put up a little fence and needed to go several inches. I was using the narrow trowel. I've a wider one. The shovel would have been too big for the job. Got the fence up on Saturday. Had help. lol

Speaking from professional experience, good idea not becoming an archaeologist.
I've broken a lot of shit with a trowel, but never myself.

To be fair though, it was a very big rock. Maybe the trowel slipped. Clean break though. I guess that's a good thing.

I think the people that lived here before me planted rocks. I've collected enough rocks of various sizes and colors to line 2 of my neighbor's flower beds. Seriously, I filled my wheel barrow 3 times. I used some of them myself.

Rocks that were imported from outside the local environment. Eventually one of our bosses forbade us from using the term because she didn't like it. I don't know if she thought it was sexist or what, but she never did provide us with an alternative term to describe them.

Pain killers must be working.

Hope you're starting to feel better.

I had to sleep for a bit. lol

I woke up early though.

Totally blows.

Thanks, alfredo.

that's really awful! I'm glad you are right handed though. I'm dealing with a problem with my right wrist and it is no fun when you are right handed. It's amazing how you don't realize how much you use your wrist until you can't use it.
Pleurisy hurts like heck. Please just take it easy this week so you'll get well!

Hope it turns out well! I was amazed at how much I used my left hand.

I'm going to be a slug this week.

Thanks, KC.

When I was in my early 20's, I broke my left leg in 4 places (was in a cast for 7 months), so I know how much a pain that can be. At least you don't have to worry about having a super hairy leg when the cast comes off.

I also know that sometimes whining can make you feel better. Moaning sometimes helps too. Just lay on your couch and moan. You'll feel better.

I wish I could just lounge on the couch. Family crisis today. Rains, it pours.

and rain/snow is something I don't look forward to but I can't complain.

Hopefully, your showers will end soon, and flowers will bloom instead... kinda like April showers.

actually helps!

Hope you feel better soon and that you are off to a quick and complete recovery!

Got my whine out. It's this getting old thing, I know it is. Body is falling apart.

You broke your wrist and got pleurisy. That may be a first.

Seriously, take it easy and don't try to come back too soon.

I'll ponder the wonder of it all.

Thanks,NV Whino

Thought of you.

Couldn't find a sister. She sorta dropped off the radar. Got kind of scary there for a moment. Found her. She's OK. Surprised she had worried people.

Thanks, Mira.

Glad that's OK now - no wonder I was concerned

She's a caregiver to her husband and we all worry about their well being. Being a caregiver can be incredibly stressful. So when they couldn't be reached, alarms went off. We are spread out all over the states and that made the search all the harder. Finally found them alive and well around midnight. They just didn't think to tell us they would be unavailable for a few days. Which is their right, of course. Still...whew. Long, long bad day.

that was three!
The hand, the pleurisy, and the temporary terror as you describe.
No more.
You are on a smooth path for healing. Make the best of it if you possibly can.

I'm so sorry for the wrist...and hoping for the best on the pleurisy.

I'm feeling better though. They couldn't find the cause though. Happens, though not often. Got full blood work, chest x-rays, and an EKG. I have outstanding insurance. (Thankfully)

I'll go for a follow-up with my primary next week.

hide while resting and healing. Hope you heal fast and with as little pain as possible.

I've been hugging my pillow and a heating pad a lot lately. I've a new appreciation for pharmaceuticals. lol

I'm only up and about in between doses.

Sending healing thoughts!!

I'm doing much better today.

Horsetail in capsules helps. I took 3 with every meal for a month. Gotta drink extra water.
Gotta be very patient.
This too shall pass.
