Friday night dancing at the Eagles, an elderly man stumbles, goes backwards, knocks me down, and falls on me.
Oh what pain
2 broken bones
wrist like a balloon
to the E.R.
in a splint
oh what gloom.
Will have a cast
so little I can do
typing with my left hand
can't even put on a shoe
England on August 19th
will I be able to go
grand kids will be so sad
if I can't make it
worst still will be
not being with my old Dad.
Dad will be 95, and I have never missed a year.
You will see articles that are already submitted, but it is too long and too difficult using just my left hand.

Okey doke, now I understand! :) So sorry you're injured, hope you can still go to England. Don't see why not.
Wow, I'm impressed that you typed all that left handed! Poor baby, go pamper yourself for a bit.
Soooo sorry. Travel anyway. You will be sorry if you don't.
I hope you are back to normal real soon! God Bless! 5*
Wow Susan, didn't realize this had happened until I saw the comments you made on my three newest articles, which prompted me to check out your profile. Glad you're getting better now.
I can only imagine.
