*********************************************
on monday evening craig & i were looking forward to our free night with no plans or practices.
and then i heard a SCREAM outside that was so loud and annie yelling "I BROKE MY ARM!!! ITS BROKEN!!!"
i doubted for about five minutes but then i felt her arm.
yeah....
i called craig & he was on his way home from work "i think annie broke her arm. i am taking her to the ER".
he said he would meet us there.
two hours later they determined it was definitely broken.
we expected it to just be a cast and we'd go home.
then a dr came in and said "it's a really bad break. REALLY BAD. we need to do surgery"
what?!
so at 9 PM they took her in and put her under.
that was very hard to let her go.
a piece of her bone broke off and was floating in her arm.
they put two pins in her elbow to hold it in place until it heals.
she's smiling but it was just for the camera.
she and i slept in the hospital (if you can call it sleep) monday night to keep an eye on everything.
we headed home late morning....dead tired.
we both rested all day yesterday.
the doctor says a cast comes next week.
she is hoping for lime green but thought red and blue for KU would be cool too.
we've got some serious bedhead going on that we will have to deal with today....
she slept all night last night.
i just feel so bad for her.
she is miserable.
i think we will paint nails and toenails today.
and finish her chapter book.
and we watched Crocodile hunter this morning.... how much tv can one person watch?!
so send up some prayers for annie when you think of her.
and on a completely different subject...........
Craft Weekend was on the local news!
they interviewed us before the last CW and then came back AT craft weekend during our apron making.
some of our guests were interviewed about why they came.
i was really nervous about the whole thing but i think it turned out well.
it's pretty cool.
ok....another cup of coffee is needed.
and i am going to do 7 loads of laundry today.
i am.
keep me accountable.
make sure i do it.
cause my laundry situation is downright embarassing right now.
i have let it go for far too long.
sitting at the hospital knowing i needed clothes and dreading the thought of having a friend go into my house to look for my clothes was mortifying.
1. i doubt i had any clean underwear for me.
2. to get to my clean clothes....you had to climb the mountain of dirty clothes first...seriously a safety risk.
so today i am playing nurse, manicurist and laundry aid.
what are you doing today?
getting ready to cook? are you hosting thanksgiving? what kind of pie are you making?
