Last week during the rain, I had to go outside and retrieve our recycling cans from the street.  I unlocked the gate and, since I had Gavin on the leash, took him with me.  All was fine until on the way back in as I was walking down the wood ramp my feet went out from under me as if I was on ice.  I landed on my butt however, most of my weight went on my left wrist. 

      Hours later, after icing the wrist a couple of times, the pain was enough to prompt me to go to my doctor.  X-rays proved I didn’t break it but I did sprain it.  Thus, the brace on my wrist.

     Then, later that night, as I went to post these pictures, my phone line broke.  I had no phone (other than the cell phones) or internet. 

     I finally have my phone line repaired and my wrist is healed now too.
