Holiday Headaches


Recommended Posts

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving we rode downtown (Chicago) to deliver a computer monitor to Carla's workplace and had an auto accident.

Some Bozo blew a stoplight and hit the rear wheel of our car. He split the scene.

$3000 damage to the suspension system. Only 3100 miles on the car - we got it in April.

Because of supply problems, we might not get the car back until 2023.

Wow, that sucks. 

I have my own. Kicked by one of our horses last week. Non-displaced fracture of right forearm.

Due to crappy HMO god knows when I will see orthopedist for casting. OTOH a few inches to left and would have been ribs and/or spine. The latter might have f-ed up the rest of my days, so there's that!

Update, for those curious:

Primary care doc (whose specialty is non-surgical orthopedics, among other things) felt that it does not need a cast and will heal in about six weeks.

This was verified this morning with new imaging of forearm, wrist and elbow - only forearm was damaged by Penny's half-hearted kick.  Fortunately.

Improvement is such that I am once again typing with two hands so ... very thankful it wasn't way worse as it would have been if she hit my torso, and no cast is a great relief too.
