I slipped and fell in my kitchen, breaking a bone in my arm. Who would think that such a little break would result in such a large cast! Of course it's my right arm - and yes, I am right-handed!
Over the last couple of weeks I have gotten quite good at typing with one hand, and my writing is 'almost' legible now! Sadly though, not so good with a paintbrush. As you can imagine, it is making this creative very irritable, having lost the ability to paint, or work on my functional art!
I am able to be out and about for short periods of time before it starts swelling and causing me grief again. On this day, my son and I went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival for a couple of hours. Still new to the cast experience at that point, I didn't check before we left to see if I could actually get my sweatshirt on over the cast. HA! Live and learn!
Yesterday, my son and I took our dog Casey to one of the local parks here in Genesee County. Richfield Park is really quite pretty, and very big, bordering both sides of the Flint River. It's a wonderful hidden gem in this horribly depressed area. We'll be heading back in the coming weeks to catch the autumn colors.
Five more days....and this big cast will be removed, and replaced with a shorter one - and, my thumb will be released! Woo hoo! I can't wait!!
