I fell in the snow earlier and broke my arm. A neighbor took me to the hospital. It is not a terrible break. They splinted it, gave me Vicodin, and sent me home. I have to call a orthopedist tomorrow to see about getting a permanent cast. I was in a lot of pain, but am much happier now with the meds. I am right-handed, and tat is the arm I broke. I won't post much for awhile, because typing with my left hand only is very annoying. My children are taking good care of me, but I would appreciate your prayers.

Also, I know from previous injuries and surgeries that opiates make me really loopy. So if I post something about embracing Arianism or becoming a Muslim, please remember that it is the Vicodin talking. :smile:

Yikes Sigs. {{{hug}}}

Thank God your kids are there, I know you do already.

Please be assured of my prayers!

A family's warm smiles are better than Vicodin.

Thanks. I am assuming the person who up-thumbed my initial post wasn't pleased I broke my arm.

:wink:

Added: I posted this and then proceeded to pray grace before meals. Sometimes I amaze myself. I added other prayers in case grace doesn't cover broken arms.

I just read this and pray you are adjusting to that oh-so-enjoyable recovery phase.

A thumbs up for using complete sentences and proper punctuation despite your one-handedness. : )

Are you dipping into my Vicodin? :wink:

I have been able to back off on the Vicodin somewhat as the pain has lessened. I go to the orthopedist tomorrow, so that may change. When I was on the maximum dosage I am allowed to take, I was pretty loopy. I usually say the Divine Office, but that much concentration was beyond me. I decided to say the whole rosary instead of my usual 5 decades, but often found myself saying the grace before meals or some other prayer instead of Pater's and Ave's.

I refuse to type like some illiterate texting teenager even when I have an excuse. :smile:

And thanks to everyone for their prayers and best wishes.

Time for more pain meds, so I will get off the internet now
