Buzz dog snow watching

It is hard to believe that we had such a bad winter, on a day like today, but cast your minds back to December 2010, the 3rd, to be precise.  This was the day that my life and craft life went a bit pear shaped.  It had snowed the day before, and then over night, and froze again.  Making the paths very slippery.  As I had an appointment at the doctors, I thought, 'come on gal, put your wellies on and walk'! 

Big Mistake

I slipped on an icy patch on a downward slope and landed on my wrist and couldn't get up.  A couple of lovely people helped me up and took me to the doctors.  However, I ended up in A&E with alot of other people with leg and arm injuries! 

It turned out, after about 4 hours of waiting, I had fractured my wrist in several places and smashed it up so badly I needed surgery!  All I wanted to do was to go home to see if Buzz dog was ok, but I was informed that I had to stay! After 5 days in hospital, I was finally allowed to go home with a new accessory, a metal plate and pins holding all the bones together.

After a lot of pain, rest and exercise, I am now pleased to say that it is back to a 'new' normal!  It won't ever be the same again or like my good wrist but it is pretty good, and functional, thankfully!

The wounded

So not much crafting has been done, but I am getting 'back in the saddle' so to speak and hoping to get going again soon.  I've missed it.  I did think my crafting days were over so it is brilliant to feel that I can do it again.

Much to my amusement, I was informed by the A&E nurse who admitted me that the injury I did, is called the 'Granny' injury, as it is usually old ladies who fall over and break their wrist! (I am nearly 40, not quite granny status yet).  Well, I  thought on occasion, I could be perceived as a 'bit of a granny', with my crocheting and knitting I do, so that's cool! 

Anyway, enjoy the lovely sunshine we are having now and I should be back soon.
