Just when she was starting to recover from last week's surgery, my sister fell and broke her left wrist! She had gone downstairs to let the dog out and decided to step outside while waiting for him to finish his business. Her feet went out from under her and she landed on her left hand.
There was a heavy snowfall overnight so six inches of snow had to be shoveled from the house to the garage before we were off to Emergency at the local hospital. Amazingly, the ER was empty and she was fast-tracked through a painful "reduction" before having the wrist encased in a beautifully wrapped "cast". Three hours later we were home with a supply of percocet.
Needless to say, our return to Salmon Arm will be delayed while I help with meal prep and house cleaning until she adjusts to being single-handed. What's next??
