When it rains, it pours

I have had a rough past week. First, I slipped and fell and fractured my humerus bone in my right arm. It took going to 3 different ER clinics before getting it x-rayed. The first one I went to had a broken x-ray machine and the second one had no technician to operate theirs. Luckily, I found one that had both. Then the very next day, I ended up going to the hospital by ambulance for a completely different health issue. Thankfully, I only spent a few days there. Now I am home trying to adjust to doing everything left-handed now. As well as, trying to sleep with a big wedge sling on my arm.

You just don't realize how much you use or depend on something, until you don't have it available anymore.

@Jagger : Ouch!! So sorry that happened. That's crazy that you had to go to 3 different ERs. I hope the worst is behind you and that things will improve quickly.

@Jagger : Ug! That's the worst - not being able to sleep in your normal sleep position.

Bummer, are those first two er's going to bill you for this?
Glad you are home and ok.
At first I thought this was some kind of April Fools
