Corollary: two legs bad, two wheels bad
This morning I broke my left ulna riding my bike on the way to work. Well, now that I think about it, it was more like a second after an unplanned and volatile dismount from my bike. Part of the ulna that forms a joint with the carpals has set itself free and is floating in my arm.
It hurts to articulate my wrist, which is why they put it in a brace. It doesn't help as much as it could. Neither do the pain meds, which I suspect to have psychotropic qualities since I just thought this week's Gilmore Girls was well written for a change. As long as the wrist is elevated and not moving it's OK.
I'm considering typing only with letters on the right side. I on' hink i ok I'll go bk o noml.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to learn more about my future. I'm hoping for Callie from Grey's Anatomy.
I'm starting a list of things I now dislike intensely:
* buttons
* broken reflectors
* the letters q, w, e, r, t, a, s, d, f, g, z, x, c, v; numbers 1-5 and corresponding symbols.
* anything not in the proximity of my right arm is dead to me.
More to follow.
Heal well.

Oh, Scott,
That's hilarious, but so so sad and, I'm sure, enervating. I send forth my deepest, tenderest condolences.
At least you have Tanya. These things go so much smoother with a beloved, I promise.

I'm leaving a comment as I won't remember what the pharmacist said. You can take 2 ibuprofen tablets up to 2 times a day with the prescription meds you are on. Any more than that'd be bad. I'll be over around 7 or so.

Feeling any better?
Call if you need anything. I'm working all day, every day, but am free after 5 or so.
