Jack and I got our second vaccine on Friday. We decided to do our usual Saturday running around right after incase we would have any reaction. Some do, some don't. We did. Saturday afternoon we had aches and very tired and I had chills. But better today. Tomorrow more shots in the arm for me. I'm getting surgery to repair my left wrist.
It's not suppose to bend like this. They x-rayed my right arm too because it hurt. They said it was fine even though Jack questioned one spot by the elbow when he looked at the x-ray. I questioned it too and even asked for another film. Nope they said, no need. I went to the Ortho doc on Thursday and showed him my arm...
Pretty black and blue for not having a break. He looked at the x-ray and said: Well, it's broke too...right here (where Jack originally questioned) by my elbow. Thankfully it's small enough to not need anything done.
My head is fine too except for the abrasion that's now a lovely shade of green, blue, and yellow! I hope whoever read the CT scan didn't screw that diagnosis! Anyway, I just want to get this fixed and let the healing begin. Puts a damper on Easter again this year. But Greek Easter is May 2nd so we're going to celebrate then. To end this post here's something that makes me smile ;
Those that have followed my blog know I collect Lori Mitchell figurines and know I have some for all the holidays. I found this guy in Chicago a few weeks ago. I love him because he can be in the kitchen all year. His curl and his cute outfit and cake just makes me happy. Some folks like dead animals on their walls...I like skinny legged figurines! Go figure!
Finally, temps here have been mild off and on and these favorite Spring blooms have arrived. It will be colder this week and even a few snow flakes could appear. But I'll enjoy this touch of sunshine while I can. And that's a happy shot in the arm!

Heal soon and stay out of the garage.
So glad you and your hubby are now fully vaccinated. I hope you surgery goes well. You will be in my prayers. Happy Easter next week!
Hi, YaYa!
It hurts my heart to see you looking so banged up, dear friend. It goes to show that bad things sometimes happen to the nicest people. I am so sorry you took such a beating in the garage. I'm glad you got a second opinion about your right elbow. I suppose the techs that told you it is "fine" meant what the ortho doc told you - that it is broken but needs no further attention. Years ago I sustained a hairline fracture of a rib in a collision with another player on the baseball diamond. It healed on its own. The picture of your bruised noggin begs for the caption "You shoulda seen the other guy." Again, I am so very sorry to see such a dear friend in pain. On the bright side, you now have both shots of the vaccine and have recovered from the after FX. Spring is gaining a foothold in Ohio and flowers are blooming. After today's procedure, you have that cute little skinny legged Lori Mitchell figurine to come home to, plus Jack and Arnie to help you put this latest nasty episode behind you. I will be thinking about you this morning as you undergo surgery and praying for the very best outcome. God bless, dear friend YaYa!
Ouch! That abrasion looks painful. I'm always amazed at the power our body has to heal itself. It's a real gift... I hope that the doctor fixes your wrist very soon. I'm glad that this accident didn't happen when you had to take care of Jack when he was sick. Now that you both have your second shot, you should feel very relieved. We still haven't had our shots yet.
Have a Happy Easter
Hugs, Julia
Ouch. Once a building site Sherry stepped on a loose stair case and her arm looked the same, a sickening feeling knowing in just a second that happened. Oh and the head, OUCH. You did it up right (or WRONG). Prayers for successful surgery and quick healing.
Sherry & jack in a nice Florida day.
Hope all goes well. Wonder if this xray technician is getting others mis-diagnosed. Kind of scary. Janice
Nope, I don't think your wrist is supposed to bend like that. Your bruising and experience makes me wince in memory of my tumble down our circular staircase. The bruising was phenomonal for weeks and the ER took xrays but didn't find any breaks and sent me home on crutches. When I couldn't walk weeks later still, I went to an orthopedic specialist who did an xray...Yup, my tibia was broken...along with a torn VMO and ACL. Hopeing and praying your surgery went smoothly and that you have a speedy recovery. Thinking of you. ~Robin~
