If Annie Xmas were a wrestler for a certain now-defunct company, we could gather outside her hospital room and chant either:
or
depending on how spectacular the fall was. Of course, hospital staff would likely disperse us with fire hoses, and it’s pretty cold outside, so maybe we shouldn’t oughta do that.
I notice that I’m not the only person who hopes there’s a good story to go along with this.
Heal up, Annie, and come back and tell us about it.
[Arnold]You can do it![/Arnold]
Sorry to hear you’re hurt–hope you’re feeling better soon! I’ve always enjoyed your posts. Feel better!
Any excuse not to do work.
I just hope you will still be able to play the violin.
The plural form is “stewardessi.”
Hope your arm mends soonest, Annie.
Sending good healing mojo your way, Annie!
Hope you have a better Spring after that terrible Fall. : /
Humor is the best medicine. Get well soon, Annie!
Best wishes for fast mending, Annie! Get your calcium!
Annie, so sorry to hear about your fall. Just so you know, it is entirely possible to type one handed. My heavy internet usage started when I was breastfeeding a baby. I would feed baby and read message boards. I got so I could type surprisingly quickly one handed. We’ll all forgive you a lack of a capitals in your posts for the next few weeks.
Sending healing vibes your way.
Get better soon, Annie!
Oh well, them’s the breaks.
What?
Seriously – hope you feel better soon.
Feel better, Annie.
If your arm starts to get itchy in the cast, pour talc in one end until until it comes out the other while jiggling your arm. Or take a coat hanger, hold it by the hook and grab in the middle of the flat part. Pull this until it is a long thin loop about 1 inch wide. The looped end is safe to put into the cast and while it doesn’t actually scratch, the rubbing will help the itch tremendously.
I hear if you sleep in a pyramid with your body aligned properly, and your position just right you will heal in about 6 weeks. 
Pyramid Power Oh those crazy psychedelic 70’s.
Cheer up, Annie! I sent you a postcard in the postcard exchange thread, so hopefully it got there in time for you to enjoy during your recovery!
Thanks to everyone for their lovely well wishes.
The story is simple–I was going down a flight of stairs, missed one and flew. I made sure to land on mt arse, but apparent;y I pur my left hand down when I landed. The knob on my wrist bone snapped off and came to rest two inches below the top of it. My butt hurts worse than ny hand and the doctor was amazed that I didn’t injure anything else.
I contacted our city’s code enforcement and found out the business was cited and fined for some recent violations, including not having two handrails on the stairs. So now I need a good personal injury attorney!
I am right handed and I am finding out how much I can do with one hand.
Anf thanks again. I live alone and need the encouragement
I demand a better story! No ferocious creatures, no alien life forms, nothing scrarier than a personal injury attorney, come on now you can do better than that!
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
If I had a cast on my arm I believe I might be inclined to embellish it rather outrageously. Perhaps download photos from medical sites of hairy wolfman like patches, that would be cool to have pasted all over a cast, you’d look like wolfgirl or something. Or, if that’s not doing it for you, how about weeping open sores? Too much? Still, you get the idea.
I do have a photo of the arm in the cast, but it’s just a cast going from palm to halfway up my upper arm.
JUST???:eek:
Unabashed begging: I don’t have PayPal, but I wouldn’t mind a custom title “One-Armed Bandit” It would make me feel real better
