broken elbow...

...sounds worse than it is but it is certainly a hindrance. i.e. heavy baby to pick up, dishes to wash, garden to weed and water. You know how it is. You need your elbow for lots of things. (Not typing really, or mouse-clicking apparently)

Yesterday, at about 8pm, I fell (in a clumsy and very boring way) and landed on the heel of my outstretched right hand. It took my breath away and I was suddenly transported back to when I was nine and fractured my wrist. Anyway, we went to the emergency room at 10ish and xrays were made of my elbow. By about midnight the diagnosis was a radial head fracture, or broken elbow.

Ibuprofen helps. And no, I don't have a cast or splint.

This is not in my garden, but up in the mountains near Anchorage.
