Did I read self portrait? Here's one though a little late for "purple". Spoiler: Bruise on my arm.

[Mira]

I took this photo with the camera built into my laptop. A week ago I braced myself with the arm where I broke the humerus 2 years ago, and have a new but EVER SO MUCH LESS BAD break.

Tonight I feel sorry for myself enough to show it to you.



I"m told I'll be quite OK in two months.
So, don't cry for me, Argentina. Just send healing light!

[Scuba]

1. Ouch! Get better soon, Mira.

[NV Whino]

2. Oh wow.

Try for the other arm next time. Just to even things up a bit. You have my utmost sympathy.

[Mira]

4. Thanks...I did need a little sympathy.

The other arm is the "right" one, and I need it badly since that's my dominant hand.
Instead I'll do less strenuous stuff, or ask for help.

3. That is one bad bruise!

Stop doing that! It looks painful!

[KC]

5. That probably

would have won for the purple contest!
Is it going to require a cast or brace?
Ouch!

[Mira]

6. Nope just

slings - keeping the arm immobile with scarves and bands.
A little time, and I'll be fine.

[Celebration]

7. Darn!

Healing light sent.

[handmade34]

8. ouch!!

9. Ouch.

[CC]

10. Ouch

That was from just bracing yourself, not falling? That looks painful. I hope you heal fast and thoroughly. Hugs

[Mira]

13. I described my awkwardness to Solly and thanks CC

you are the champion of healing serious breaks. You know that this is temporary.

[Solly Mack]

11. (((Mira)))

Sending you vibes of protective bubble wrap to keep you safe.

That's a nasty looking bruise.

Hoping you feel better soon.

[Mira]

12. Yes, it's quite awful - here's what I did

(my daughter in law by the way said they would let me walk about only in bubble wrap from now on)

I stood on a stepstool of 12 " height to reach the lock on a window over my stove. The stool slipped on the floor, I was thrown against the window and a wide ledge that holds kitchen stuff. In the fall I braced myself against that ledge and heard a very quiet crack.

OHNONONONONONO

been there. But this is, as I said, way more innocuous than the last time. I think the arm is just weakened for the rest of this life time.

[Solly Mack]

14. Sounds frightful! I hate that feeling. (of falling and impending injury)

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Your DIL has the right idea.


Get well soon!

17. It reminds me of a post here years ago...it was so funny. the OP asked what the

craziest physical injury was that they ever had.

Still remember....someone running around the corner only to plow into the TV antennae and it went up their nose. And, another, someone hanging a shower curtain and fell and their face landed in the kitty's litter box.

[CC]

19. Sounds more like a

fall even if it wasn't to the ground. I remember what you went through the last time and am hoping it heals faster and is easier on you this time. Hugs

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. Ugh! n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Holy Mackerel Mira !! Would have definitely won Purple contest. nt

[Xipe Totec]

18. For purple mountain majesty!
