I fell on the ice on January 2nd. I have a spiral fracture of my left ulna, just above the ankle. I am on the road to recovery, most of the pain is gone, but I have to spend 4 more weeks with my foot in the air. Phooey. Boredome has set in in a big way. I have knit one pair of socks and am working on another pair, read a stack of books and watched too many videos. Now I am waiting for my bone to knit back together.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband and friends who are taking time from their busy lives to cook and do chores and keep me company.

Oh my goodness. I can commiserate, my feet are in the air too. I've torn my knee up, but not enough to have surgery. I'm supposed to grit my teeth and bear it, I guess. The popping and snapping and wobbliness are terrible. I'm thinking of taking a walk on ice so I can finish off the job and they will have to operate.
Seriously, though, I've broken both ankles too, and I know how tiresome this is. I hope you recover well and get a great physical therapist. Kimmen
What a bummer! :(
I hope your ulna "knits up" quickly and well! :)
Oy vey! I kept imagining the possibility of something like this through all the ice and snow we had here. There's something really brutal about the whole combination of frozen pavement and living bones! Your poor leg has my sympathy! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and some entertaining new sit-down activities. Do you like to play with beads?
Thank you all for your good wishes! I am raising a toast to quick healing, strong bones and ligaments and sure footing for everyone this winter!

Goodness Kathy, I'm sorry to hear the injury was more severe than you said in your note. Sprain, indeed! Take good care of yourself.

Just thought you should know your "ulna" is in your arm. :) You broke your tibia. Hope the magazines give you some ideas you can play with. Love you.
Oops! I never was very good at anatomy. You are the health care professional in the family!
I am enjoying drooling over the recipes in the magazines you sent! They sound so good after your Dad's cooking, tee hee.
They were free, so I can't complain. :) I thought you were drooling over the ginger chocolate...
I'm so sorry about your injury!! Definitely sending you healing thoughts. Hope you're back on your feet as soon as possible!
This situation doesn't look like paradise! I hope you are mending perfectly and able to get around now and back to your artist's life. best wishes
