I’ve Got My Arm Back (sort of)
(It IS my right arm that is tweaked, I can’t fully twist it.)
It’s official I have the a-okay to use my arm. I saw the orthopedist and he said there are 3 things they consider when you break your arm and 2.5 of them, in my case are good. So, no cast and no surgery. That’s the bottom line. I start physical therapy on Monday, but am stretching and able to do new things every day. Well, not NEW new things, old new things like turning on the kitchen faucet and buttering eggos, things like that. I can’t yet pull my hair back in a pony tail, without help, which is very frustrating. I think I have discovered a new dieting secret though, I eat less when I am using my left hand. Mostly because it is such a pain and it’s pretty tiring, you eat slower and then, eventually you just give up on eating altogether. Maybe I should write a book! “Losing Weight by Feeding Yourself with your Non-Dominant Hand” ohh, not a good title… wait… “The OTHER Hand Diet” okay, that’s better.
Aaron and I are going out of town this weekend to see the band Arcade Fire. I am hoping it’s not general admission, because I do not want to have to protect my arm all of the time. (Signing Time Trivia – Win and Will Butler of Arcade Fire are my 2nd cousins.) It’s pretty crazy to read interviews with your family members in Rolling Stone Magazine. If you are looking for some cool new music, here are the Coleman Family recommendations for Arcade Fire Songs-
Rachel – Keep The Car Running
Aaron – Intervention
Leah – No Cars Go
Lucy – Black Mirror (Seriously I just asked her!)
