Evening all 😀

Very quiet Easter here. Just Hannah and I. But the past week has been very busy and quite traumatic.
I slipped on a rock while out walking last Thursday week. Put my left hand out and, yep broke my wrist. I was lucky, I felt absolutely nothing, no pain at all. I looked at it and it was kinda zigzag shaped. I thought to myself "hmm, that looks broken, why can't I feel anything? It should be hurting. So I wobbled it, and it all went crunch. But still felt nothing.
So I turned around and walked the 15 mins back home. Hand in deep pocket so people I came across couldn't see. Some people freak out seeing badly distorted limbs 😯
So I called a cab and spent all day in the ER. Yes confirmed broken. Both main forearm bones near the wrist. And main bone overlapping and split too.
Hannah came to ER with me and was a little trooper. Such a good little girl. Anyway the ortho Dr at the hospital decided the break was to complex and needed to be operated on. Couldn't get me in that day tho.
They did a closed reduction and plastered the arm to await surgery the following day.
Spent all day last Friday in pre op fasting, capped, gowned, bootied, etc. Got to 5.30pm and they told me I was cancelled due to emergencies thru the day. Come back 8am the next day.
So my surgery finally happened Saturday around lunchtime. Wrist is now all realigned, plated and screwed. They kept me in hospital overnight.
I had to have Hannah stay with her breeder as she would have been too upset while I was out of sight in surgery. But I got her home again after I got home from hospital Sunday afternoon.
So life is really difficult now. You don't realise how hard it is to manage with just one hand, while keeping cast dry. But I'm learning, and getting better. Showers and hair washed are the worst 🥺
Not being able to drive is very restrictive. So it's been taxis to medical appointments this week. At least Hannah is good at that 🐕❤️
But I really miss jumping in the car and heading into town and dropping into a Cafe for a nice chai latte. 😔
