Left Hand Typing

Susan Slade
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.

    So glad that you took that trip, considering that your father passed away recently. Hope your wrist is 100% A-okay now! rcj

    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.
