i spent last night in the ER

[Ava]

last night some of the ligaments between my wrist and arm were torn. the small er(visiting my grandparents) here isn't the best. basically the doc said that i tore some ligaments and that the gap between my arm and wrist is too big. they put my arm in a splint and he wanted to set me up to see an orthopedic specialist here in town, but i'm going back home soon and would rather see my mom's.

you'll be glad to know that this time the injury was not my own klutzy fault. you all might want to stay back though.. as i've seen to have caught a case of bad luck. :rofl:

i wont be around as much because my wrist is really hurting pretty badly(this hurts worse than when i broke it) and also because i'm having to type with one hand.

1. I'm so sorry about your wrist and I hope the ortho treats you well.

:hug:

2. Seems to be a string of bad luck going all 'round these days.

Let's hope the scales balance themselves soon. :)

3. So only guys can type with one hand?

Hmm...interesting.

Oh, yeah...FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!

[Duppers]

7. baaaaaaad joke.

It's funny, and I know she's heard worse, but still....a wee bit tasteless to tell a 17 yr. old southern gal, don't ya think?!

I'm just feeling a bit protective of her.

4. Oh, Sweetie, I know that hurts terribly. GET WELL SOON.

The ONLY good thing about this is that it was your left hand and not the one you write with.

I've been thinking about you all morning and wondering how you're doing.

Take care and if you don't feel like typing, please don't.
We'll understand.


:hug: :hug: :hug:

That is no fun at all.

6. The delay won't make it worse will it?

I understand that you want to see a specialist that you're familiar with..I was just wondering if delaying treatment might make healing take longer.

Heal quickly and I hope your pain minimizes soon. :hug:

[Duppers]

8. I was thinking the same thing.

But with the swelling and all, I don't know. :shrug:

[Ava]

9. i'm going to see the ortho doctor tomorrow

the delay won't make it worse. my arm is already in a splint and i'm taking meds around the clock for pain and swelling.

thanks everyone! i would apply to everyone individually, but with one hand that will take forever and it is a bit tiring, lol. :grouphug:

[Blue Diadem]

18. Oh, that's good it's tomorrow, I was worried it'd be into next week.

Wishing you fast healing Ava. :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

11. Ava, sweetie, how did that happen to you?

YOu are far too young to be hanging in the ER
with all the old farts and their (our) problems..
(been there, done that ...)

How can we blame the Bushie's for Ava's problem...???

Health care issue?

[Ava]

13. you can blame my cousin!

just kidding... it was purely just an accident.. "shit happens" eh? ;)

[noel711]

15. Indeed shit happens.. but you're too young for that stuff...

when you're young, you're almost indestructable...

[bigwillq]

12. Take care of yourself.

Get better soon. :hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

14. Ouchie...

feel better :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Aw, no fair! I hope you heal fast and can enjoy the rest of your summer.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Ava!

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry to hear this!

I know you're taking good care of yourself...

And I hope your mom's doc can fix you up in no time!

:hug: :hug:

[texanwitch]

19. So sorry to hear about the old ligaments.

I have just getting over the ligamnents problem in my knee.

It will take awhile to get better.

I least with my knee I could still type, and I received a really nice homemade cane.

Take care.

[graywarrior]

20. How are we supposed to get our Ava fix?

You're mean.
