where have i been where am i going

Since February 19th, I've been sitting at home on my rear end.  I fell while roller skating (another post, another time), and fractured my elbow in two places.  I just now got rid of my cast, and am in a splint, doing PT for the next 3 weeks.  So, 2 weeks in a half cast because of the swelling, 2 weeks in a real cast, and 3 weeks in a splint and PT all because I had to get on skates again.  Stupid stupid stupid.

Ten Things I've Learned

1.    Everybody takes risks every day, even if it's getting in your car and driving to the QT.
2.    A lot of people break bones, as evidenced by all the casts, wheelchairs, walkers, etc I saw at Kansas
       Orthopaedic Center the last 4 weeks.
3.    Medical insurance companies are more powerful than your orthopaedic surgeon..
4.    Physical therapy is essential to having a functioning elbow joint someday.
5.    I need structure and I need routine because basically, I'm lazy.
6.    I'm married to a saint.
7.    My dog, left to her own devices, will sleep on the couch all day.
8.    There's nothing on daytime TV worth watching.
9.    It's easy to eat out of boredom.
10.  I love my job and I miss working.
