Tuesday, What? back to specialist

     Right after I finished my blog post I received a call from the orthopedic office asking that I come in as they think the elbow has a fracture.  Now the radiologist said no, but the orthopod says yes.  It is a non surgical fracture. I told them I had taken the cast off and was doing fine.  It only hurts if I pick up something heavy (which I can avoid).  I can't lean on it at all, so I don't.  I also get a power like electric surge down the arm every once in a while.  We wrapped it back up for padding and I am being as careful as I can.  They said they will probably not cast it , but I need to go in.  CRAP, crap and double crap.  So my appointment is for tomorrow at 1:00 and I am on pins and needles.

     We will not be watching the littles until my arm has been cleared, as I can't lift them.  But life is going on around here as usual. I am taking everyone's advice to get shop work done and not worry about the house as much. I am doing what makes money and everyone else can take care of the rest.  I used a timer late last night when cleaning up the kitchen. 

     I set it for 20 minutes and when that was done I was done.  No overdoing.  So the floor did not get done. Hubs can do that today.  Our youngest daughter came down and really deep cleaned the large front room which was so nice of her.  It was one of her days off.  I was able to get the grooms clothes fitted to him and now I can get those done. 

     So today I must see to a bridal veil for daughter, and pay the bills online that I can.  Not sure if checks have come in yet.  Those are my have to's.  The little's mother brought over spaghetti for hubs dinner so that is solved.  Yeah!

     I was able to get two dresses hemmed and 12 pairs of pants hemmed yesterday.  Today will be wedding dresses and another pageant outfit that is going to be a bugger. Then I have a bride dress that needs to be basted for the brides approval which I can finish later. Also another fitting for a mother of the bride to see if we can get a dress to fit her. So plenty to do.

     Daughter #2 and the youngest are coming back Wednesday night to help me with things around the house and I will get D#2's bridesmaid dress pinned to alter and the bride dress done. Everyday I try to do something as the closer we get the more overwhelmed I feel.

     The idea is to set a goal of work I want done everyday and then complete it.  I usually over plan but that is okay as long as I keep going.  I thought I would get a wedding dress hemmed yesterday but I did not and that is the first thing on the agenda for today.

     Well I am going to try and pay bills and then get to work before I am side lined by a doctor.  Yikes!

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Kim

  1. Geesh when it rains it pours! I have a lot of aches and pains - but my theory is "if it aint broke don't fix it".
    I hope you get everything done and just take a few now and then to breathe! It will all get done - in time.

  6. Good to hear that you limited your cleaning, and also that you had some help. I find it curious that your fracture is non-surgical, and they probably won't cast it, but want you to come in anyway. I guess they'll just give you a stern talking-to!

    1. No it is to charge me money and my insurance company, but we will know in a few hours.

  7. I'll think good thoughts on the elbow. Dinner brought over and cleaning help seems well deserved.

  8. Oh no... I hope they don't immobilize you, for your sake.

  9. When it rains, it pours...I had my entire right arm(of course that's my "favorite" arm) and right shoulder immobilized for 3 months. Then therapy for another 3 months before I could use it fully... lots of lessons learned. Look for the silver lining in the rain clouds... don't put fencing up and then let the weeds over take it again.Right?
