I never thought about this, it is good advice! Well, just thinking way ahead to spring.
So I went out to shovel yesterday and slipped on some black ice, hurting my right wrist. I have never fallen so hard on an arm, did it ever hurt. We decided to go to the walk in clinic to have it looked at. The doctor didn't think it was broken but ordered xrays anyway. He will call if there is a problem. On a lighter note, the technician asked if I could be pregnant prior to doing the xrays. I thanked her, as I am turning 60 in June. I know it was just a precaution. Luckily I am left-handed. Unfortunately I will be missing my aerobics classes for a bit.

Get well soon!
I've experienced a very bad fall on my arm and hurt my right shoulder. In a case like this, when the damage (big or small) has already been done, I head to ice not to the doctor, to get rid of the pain, first of all. It took me several days. Once free of pain, I could deal with x-rays, physioteraphy etc..It took me several months to completely recover, so that I forgot I even fell on that shoulder. Things like that happen,but at a certain age (I'm older than you) it takes time to recover.
Feel better soon!
Hope your arm is soon better, rest it well. That must have been funny to hear what the doctor asked! Have a great day, look after yourself. Hugs, Valerie
Aww...hope it heals fast. Wrist pains are the worst. Funny about the question from the tech-well I guess it's normal for them to ask every woman.
All the best!
Oh, that's rotten. Do you have it wrapped up to keep it less mobile? I hope it isn't broken. Concerning the dandelions, bees will have many to choose from here! -Jenn
Ugh, so sorry to hear it, but lucky I suppose it was not your writing hand. I have also fallen once this winter, but not too bad. Feel better! And I did not know that about dandelions either!
Ouch! Trusting your wrist isn't broken. I hope that great compliment took the sting out of it :)
And thanks for the reminder about the bees...
I am so sorry about your wrist injury. My sister in law in Boston did the same thing, slipping on ice and breaking her wrist. She was in a cast for weeks. Hope you haven't broken yours.
Hope your wris heals soon! So sorry to hear this !
I also eat Dandelion blossoms, they are delicious.... but I will let enough for the bees , cross my heart. Until now there aren't any of them out but hopefully soon!
Hugs, Susi
I broke my wrist many years ago but didn't know it was broken for almost a day. And it was painful. Hope yours heals fast.
So sorry about your fall. Funny about asking if you could be pregnant:)
Good for you for taking aerobics classes!
I'll be back posting Tuesday:)
well we have some things in common I see. (and by the way good to note that about dandelions)...
So i have had a wrist injury.
I am left handed. My wrist injury was on my left hand and it actually ended up broken.
And I turned 60 at one time in my life.
And I took aerobics when I was in my 40's.
We could be twins;)
geez and I should add
....I was pregnant four times.
I'm so sorry! I hope you heal quickly.
That's cute about the pregnant part!!!
we do have a lot in common Sandy, not to mention you like to draw and paint too.
ha ha ... you two!
Definitely Twins ;D)
So true about the dandelions - bees are precious aren't they!
Really sorry about your wrist, it's always awful having a fall of any sort - a shock to the system. All the best.
Lol, at least the technician gave you a smile :D)
I certainly don't see bees like I used to.
Ouch! Hope things heal quickly.
I hope you feel better soon, Christine! Two of my husband's friends have broken bones this winter when they fell on ice. One broke an arm, the other broke a collar bone. A doctor at the emergency told the friend who broke his collar bone that there have been a higher amounts of injuries this winter. I'm not surprised with all the icy sidewalks this year!
Blessings. Oh the trials of winter. I am sorry you fell, I know all to well what that's like. I am glad you didn't break it though. A speedy recovery to you. Please be careful out there.
Oh no...I am so sorry you fell and I hope that you did not break or crack something. That is dangerous esp when we are the age we are....YIKES....getting old is not for sissy's, is it. Take care.
I hope your wrist doesn't hurt too much and that it heals soon. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery!
Oh my dear Christine!
I am so sorry for such accident !
hope you feel better
please take care and be fine soon!
hugs!
the question about pregnancy made me smile though
see - Sue thinks so too. Yes I like to draw and paint too. When it was on my dominant hand I had to learn to use my right hand for awhile. In the end it was fun.... well...................kind of.
okay upon rereading it - i see as usual I read too quick - your injury is NOT on your dominant hand so you are going to miss out on all that fun I talked about when learning to use your nondominant hand. acckkk...I talk too much.
ouch ouch ouch :( well on the bright side, no more shovelling for you to do ;)
I'm so sorry to read about your wrist, hope it soon heals.
All the best Jan
