Blogging Singlehandedly
Categories: Injuries - Tags: broken hand, cast, fail, fall, high heel shoes, Nine West, singlehanded, X-rayPardon the pun. Today I’m quite literally blogging singlehandedly – as in with one hand – since my right hand has been reduced to a club confined to a cast for the time being. Sigh…
I guess I should explain. I wish I could say I broke my hand working on some awesome DIY or Dreamhouse reno project, but sadly that is not the case. Last night I picked a fight with a set of stairs on the GO train on my way home. And lost. EPIC fail! I’m sure anyone who knows me well probably isn’t surprised. Clumsiness is kinda my thing – in my defence though, in my 33 years this is the first time I’ve broken anything…
The casualties of war:
So it looks like I’m gonna need a new pair of shoes. That AND things might be a bit quiet on the blog for a little while – at least until I get used to left handed typing (or can fashion some sort of stick or poker to use with my club hand, lol). Cause as much as I love my WordPress iPhone app, my left thumb is getting tired already.
Kes will be picking up a bit of the slack over the next few days so it’ll be a slightly different voice but we’re still here! And I’ll still be around on facebook & twitter so drop me a line!
Have any of you sustained a similar injury? How long did it take to heal? What’s the most bone-headed thing you’ve ever done to hurt yourself? We’d love to hear your stories!
Ack! Smooth and quick recovery to you!
I have to admit I snort/chuckled at “reduced to a club”.
LOL! Thanks Ashley!
Don’t worry about the Pumps my Dear! Lots more where that one came from. LOL, Get well soon my Darling Daughter-in Law!
Thanks Dad!
I have to say I gasped at the sight of your….shoes! lol! You can shop with one hand right? Speedy recovery!
Lol! I know right!! I didn’t see them until I was in the hospital waiting room & I gasped too! My mom was like “THAT’S what you’re worried about right now!?”
Has your arm tottally healed?Hope you feel better and dont have any pain.
Thanks Alex! My hand has since healed – tho I still notice a slight loss of strength from time to time & soreness particularly after long periods of use (not so convenient when trying to undertake DIY projects, lol!) It’s a work in progress tho & for the most part it’s better. Thanks for stopping by!
