Wednesday's Woes

This is going to be a short blog tonight as I only have one hand that I can use. This was oatmeal breakfast morning, so after eating I emptied the dishwasher; we are only running the top rack now as it takes too long to fill the whole dishwasher up. We usually run out of things, like silverware, before we can fill it up.

After emptying the dishwasher, I washed the hand wash things that were in the sink. The mail came as I was doing this, so after I finished with the dishes I went and got the mail, it was not until I opened the front door that I realized that I had not gotten the morning paper yet. So I brought both in and looked through them, I recycled them and then went outside and raked both the front and back lawns.

I was about 1130 by the time I finished raking and then got everything put away I went inside and took a shower in preparation for my doctor's appointment. After getting dressed I put a load of towels into the washer and turned it on and then I just waited around for Kathleen to get ready and come downstairs so that we could go.

The doctor checked me over and then had my right wrist and knee x-rayed. The x-ray showed a fracture in my wrist, but nothing in my knee, so I guess that is somewhat good news. So I now have a splint on my right wrist, so it is really hard for me to do very much with that hand.

I also have an infection in my knee, so he prescribed an anti-biotic ointment and some pills that I need to take four times a day. When we got home I put the towels into the drier and the Kathleen fixed dinner. While we were at Fred Meyer's Kathleen picked up some mashed potatoes and sirloin tips in gravy for dinner, it was actually pretty good.

Well that was my day; the doctor also told me that I should not use my right hand to allow the fracture to heal. Now I wonder what I am going to do with my self. I guess that I will worry about that tomorrow, for tonight I am just going to say good night!
