sacrifices

So what I thought was going to be a lovely afternoon in Stratford with friends (I've just recently started a ~10 day 'road trip' vacation) ... turned into something a little different than what I had planned.
Our first stop was at a lovely park - where I set my eyes on a man-made waterfall. Things were looking good ... I was checking out various angles for that 'perfect shot' ...


I made a 'shot' alright - a 'shot' into the water - which meant I landed on my wrist in a way in which it is not meant to be landed on. Apparently I actually smushed a few bones together ... guess it's not the best way to reduce my body mass ... if you're now wondering about my camera - I had thought a little ahead and had Carole hold it while I got 'into place'.


I might've been in a litle pain - but I was willing to make this 'vacation' of mine - into a party where possible. Apparently - I was a 'dream patient'. Can't say I was having so much fun I was dreaming!


Fingers were still working - so all was good.


Thumbs up! 3 hours later - and I was able to leave the 'party place' ... aka 'hospital' for all you 'normal' people. I have to head back on Tuesday for a check-up ... and hopefully 'things' will look good ... and a 'permanent' cast will be put on my wrist.
Say a few prayers if you wouldn't mind ... to be honest - getting the boneS set back in place seemed to be a more difficult task than expected ... I could've ended up in the hospital for more than 3 hours ...
Here's to a better visit to Stratford on Tuesday ... wonder if I should pay a little visit to 'the falls'.
