Adventures With One Arm!

So living with one arm is quite the adventure as well as a challenge. Everything takes so much longer and is much more difficult. I can't wash my hair or cook or wash the dishes. Dressing and bathing takes forever and I am constantly droppig things. tonight my arm is hurting because I figured four days after breaking my wrist I should be able to head back to normal life which was quite a mistake. Due to some pain and swelling I am sitting on the couch tonight with my arm propped up and typing with one hand. I am probably going to miss school for the rest of the week. The most interesting part of my week was trying to get a sling for my arm to keep it immobile at school. There are no slings in the entire town. That includes two hospitals, a doctors office and the pharmacy. So this morning Linda and I made a sling out of duck tape, safety pins and a pillowcase!
