I fell on both hands, but the wrists seemed alright directly after the fall. About an hour later I realized something was wrong with my one wrist. I stayed a couple hours anyway, but on the way home I had to stop at the ER. Fortunately they now have a “you are not sick just slightly broken” section for people with minor injuries, and those people (of which I was one) get out sooner, or we are supposed to. It was 4 hours and that is considered a short stay. I had a closed reduction and application of a soft cast/splint. I am supposed to wear an arm sling for a couple of says to keep the swelling down. I see the orthopedic surgeon again on Tuesday morning. He will either hard cast it or not. I am banking on him leaving it, or putting a new soft cast on it. It doesn’t feel bad right now.

I know fracturing a wrist in the parking lot of a ski resort doesn’t make me Shaun White, but it was a good title. I’m not sure why they are making such a big thing about his chin injury, it really isn’t that big a deal considering what often happens on those boards.

I just got an email from one of my aunts, the one who went fundie many years ago. She has a winter home in Florida and is currently attending seminars in Miami on adopting Haitian children while sending emails to the family on the progress of the seminars. I think their church is like some space ship that goes around sucking in children from all over the world. I will have to see how this goes before I pass judgment on this situation.

Congratulations to Serena for winning the Australian Open. You go girl.

A favorite weekend paragraph from blogger PIPS.

Anyway, did you see that Baltimore thing, with Obama vs. 140 Douchebags? Motherfucker is gooood. These people spend their days calling him a Kenyan terrorist Communist Muslim abortion loving pervert, but when he comes over, they push each other to get his autograph.
