OUT OF THE CAST!

And I'm loving life!

:)

I SEE MY DOCTOR TOMORROW!

I will be done with casts if my hand is strong enough.

I WANT TO LIVE!

Today is four weeks to the day that my injury occurred.

I went back to the "scene of the crime;" one of my friends said I was talking to him when I fell.

I do not remember this.

I do remember that the staff had set up a number of tables near the area and that I was glad that I did not hit my head on a table.

My friend told me I turned my head at the last minute to avoid colliding with the table; he stated my head missed the tabletop by a few inches!

I let my left wrist take the inpact of the fall rather than my head.

I can live without a hand but I cannot live without my brain!

I WANT TO LIVE!

INJURED

I fell during a recreational outing after 9 PM on Thurs. Feb. 21.

To make a long story short I sustained a bad break in my left wrist; my first broken bone.

Surgery was on Feb. 26; I spent the whole day Feb. 27 in the hospital on a morphine pump.

Luckily I have good health insurance through my employer.

Since I live alone I am staying with my mother and her boyfriend at least through the second weekend in March.

I can make my bed every morning and make coffee and get my own breakfast cereal but it's hard for me to bathe and wash my hair without assistance; not to mention the bathtub here has a right sided bar left over from my grandmother.

IT IS GOING....

I am keeping my home alcohol free; it helps!

I cleaned up a lot of papers yesterday that were strewn on the floor of my great room; my mother wouldn't think my home was clean but I do!

Of course I'm almost a total atheist now and she wouldn't care for that at all!

But to each his or her own.

I am learning new things at work, taking on new duties.

I have made it this far and I will continue on.

I must think objectively, think objectively, think objectively!

WINTER BLUES!

It's snowing.

I am prone to seasonal affective disorder.

I must remember I am the lord (lady?) of my life; it's all up to me.

To quote Phil Mcgraw, "This isn't a dress rehersal folks, this is it!"

Think objectively...think objectively...think objectively and above all NEVER GIVE UP WHEN THERE IS A CHANCE!

IT'S BEEN ROUGH!

I am having issues at work.

My manager and I have never gotten along well; in fairness there is a real personality conflict and as late it's been pretty bad.

Of course with this new philosophy I've gotten some backbone.

There are other personal issues, too.

Thirty years ago I couldn't get a date to save my life; since I've been in my forties the men are a dime a dozen.

I must keep thinking objectively...think objectively...keep on going.

It's a sin to give up if you think there might be a chance somewhere!
