I have three sisters. The second oldest one is the Director of Christian Education for a large church in the Chicago suburbs. This afternoon she took the Youth Group skating.
Around five o’clock I got a call……
ML has the WORST LUCK!
What’s happened now?
Well…she went skating with the Youth Group and fell.
NO! Is she okay???
Well…they took her to the hospital. She has a broken nose, a lump on her forehead, a concussion, and a shattered right elbow.
OUCH!!!
The upshot of all this is that my sis will be having surgery tomorrow to repair her elbow. It will have to be pinned.
My oldest sis is a nurse, and I asked if ML would be able to take care of herself. It’s a moot point for the next few days.
If you lost the use of your favored arm for some time, think of all the things you would have trouble doing. Showering (no getting a cast wet), dressing, hooking a bra, writing, tying your shoe laces, or putting your shoes and socks on for that matter. Even eating will be a struggle. All the things you take for granted are going to become extremely difficult.
ML….I hope your recovery is swift!
