Hello Cuties, just dropping in to give an update. My upper humerus bone is broken. My PCP told me he would repeat X-rays if I was still in pain after a week. He said it wasn’t any use to take more the day after I fell since ER had just took them and didn’t see anything. It was swollen still so he said wait. Well his X-rays clearly showed a split, from where you have the sink in your upper arm, to the top of your shoulder.
I had been pretty much out of it the first week, having to take pain meds. Now it’s just at night. My PCP will talk to orthopedic and let me know what they decide for me. Honestly I am scared of any bone surgery since my mom died from a blot clot after her surgery for broken leg. Hopefully it will be like my leg bones and heal on their own while keeping it immobile. I have had it in a sling since I fell.Anyway, enough of that. We got out yesterday for Dalton and Emily’s boy’s birthday. I think Declan turned one on 16th and Dawson turned three on the 19th which was actually his birthdate. It was nice outside with a breeze blowing and beautiful sunshine. They had so much food! Grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, fruits, chips and I don’t know what else but all I ate was a piece of their cake.
Today is Gus’s party and we are fixing to leave, so have a great day my friends ❤️Toogie
1-Grandson Dalton and his little family
2- our oldest daughter Marsha (Nae) and Declan her grandson
3-Emily and Declan with his Jelly Bean quilt I have yet to finish

Yes, dear friend I want to tell everyone that you made my placement line and highlight for me from my tracing. Don’t you think they came out cute!
Just heard I can continue to wear the brace/sling for a month. I really don’t want surgery but I also want to be able to use my arm!
318493Toogie, my heart and prayers go out to you. I am glad you were able to attend the parties. The pictures are great, and that jellybean quilt is absolutely adorable. Heavenly father, please watch over Toogie and help her heal and be pain free, Amen. Sending soft hugs, Suzanna.

Emily wanted a quilt for Declan and I showed her the tumbler top I had just finished. I also showed her a photo of the jellybean quilt. She at first said the tumbler but changed her mind when shown the picture of the jellybeans. She asked me if it would be ok and I said yes because one would be for Declan and the other for donation. It made me no difference as I was gonna make the jellybean anyway. I think it reflects Dex’s temperament as he is a happy, cheerful baby. I may do something on the reverse side if I use the yellow on back. I have more than a month to decide.

You’re welcome Sarah and agony is the perfect word. I had six grownups in my bedroom wanting to help me up and me screaming don’t touch me. I had to hold my left arm that was broken, with my good right arm. I told them I’d try on my own and I really don’t remember how, my son was on the right side of me, but I got up then nearly passed out. I just couldn’t stop the moaning and the tears. I’m glad the little ones had just left because they would have been frightened, I’m sure. Poor hubby was so nervous he couldn’t make a phone call. He had tried to get me seated but laid me back down because I felt faint. He finally managed to call our son.
255054It's so good to hear from you. I was praying for you last night, so this is my answer to my prayers. Keep healing and enjoy each and every milestone of your loving family.

Thank you Karen, last night was the first night I didn’t take any pain medicine but I didn’t sleep well. I needed to get up in the night & I called for hubby numerous times but he never heard. I got up on my own but I was careful.
I love spending time with the family. The little one,Declan, is so lovable and happy all the time. We believe Dawson may have autism. They are having him tested, because he exhibits a few of the traits.

Thank you Laura. Dalton took me in his big building and showed me all his racing trophies. One for sure had to be 5 foot tall because he is about 6 foot and it was a little under him.
96283Oh Toogie I am sorry to hear your heath problems but glad you were able to enjoy a party. Don’t need to say take care and delegate because I know you are.

I enjoyed getting out and visiting with both sides of the family. The adults could talk in peace because the kids were all in and out of the jump and slide they rented.-lol
My oldest daughter had finally chosen her line of fabrics for her quilt and I have her down to two pattern choices. Now all that will have to wait and hopefully when recovered I will be able to use that arm again.
