Hi all! It's my b-day today. I slept late then did a pedi-mani and walked the dog.
Later went to my Mom's for curry and my fav German chocolate cake that my nephew made.
Unfortunately I also spent 4 hours at the emergency room tonight because I slammed my left hand in the car door.
It didn't break (unless the radiologist calls in the a.m. and tells me different) but broke a blood vessel and have resultant soft tissue damage.
Hope it won't interfere with my last week of physical therapy for the left elbow.
That's why I slammed the hand in the door to begin with. The elbow didn't bend enough to get the hand out of the way.
I'm hoping and praying that this isn't indicitive of the rest of the upcoming year.
So already one injury for the year......and on my birthday to boot!

OH NO little wolf!
OUCH on that... but HAPPY BIRTHDAY too!!!
Curry and that cake sure sound good. Hope there were some left overs for you to enjoy now that you are done at the ER.
Get some rest and next time, do try to keep your hands where they belong.
Hope it feels better soon.... and I WON'T call you a little baboon because it is your birthday.

Oh, you guys!!!
Thank you so much. Let's see....it's Wednesday and I'm doing great. The swelling in the hand has gone down alot and just looks bad but is functioning well.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes and I finally finished the left-over cake yesterday. And yes, it was just as delicious as it was on Sunday.
