My poor collarbone

Hi there friends,

Not been on for last couple of weeks as i took it upon myself to break my collarbone - left side (again) - and yes you've guessed it i'm left handed. :(

Have had to stand by whilst son looked after garden. Now i only have one Monet alive, my king fern is dead, but on a positive note the Hebe is in it's full glory :D (asked him to replant it out back and me thinks it very happy there, loads of butterflies around it )

So i have learned FOR EVERY NEGATIVE THERE IS A POSITIVE :D :D

 

Hi AG sorry to hear about your recent accident and I do hope you are starting to feel a lot better.For some unknown reason in the last few years I have broken bones 3 times on my right foot and toes and ended up in plaster for a month,then on the second day of our holiday two years ago I stubbed my small toe and broke it..ouch. :eek:

My name should be changed to accidentpronegardener :D :D

Good Luck with your garden though and having your son to help you out.I hope you give him a big hug as a Thankyou

 

Ah...here it is...I answered in your other thread re: your Montana about your bad luck. I repeat,hope things are not too bad and you're on the mend.

 

Hi, ag ... wondered where you got to! Sorry to hear about your collarbone and I hope you mend soon. I have never broken a bone so cannot sympathise in that respect.

Obviously Kandy can sympathise with you! :eek:

Good to have you back.

 

Awwwwww guys and gals,

Was feelin so sorry for myself, but at least i can type although not as quickly as i would like

LoL didn't feel it go at the time, it took a couple of hours b4 i realised something was wrong, thought it was a dislocated shoulder at first. 3rd time its gone now so may need a plate put in but i will find out on 12th Sept

Pal - I answered back on the clematis montana thread as well :D

Kandy, - Ouch!

Lol, don't forget to let me know how the holiday went

 

Hi, ag, will write you later but pics in Country Life on first page Today's Topics, plus today's outing ...

 

Hi guys and gals,

Update - am home again after having a plate screwed in to my collarbone. Sounds gory but it was really small. Hurts a bit but i'm learning to do things with the right hand side

Having physio, can't work, drive, lift, bend or laugh but my family has me in stitches (excuse the pun) so i end up giggling and moaning ouch at the same time.

All i need now is a bell to call when i need assistance :D Ooooooh the power :D

I'm glad to be back tho, have missed reading everyones posts

 

Hi Paula glad you're on the mend...sorry just had to write that! :D

I know you will bounce back and in the meantime you're be enjoying yourself with being waited on hand and foot...lucky you.
Helen.xxx.

 

Hi Helen,

The boys have deserted me for 4 days! The cheek of it, they had the audacity to disappear off on a rugby tour to Holland this morning and won't be back until Monday (she says pretending to be annoyed when in fact she is rather releaved at the freedom :D )

Nice bottle of Pinot chilling in the fridge but i've flumoxed myself because i can't get the cork out

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck ag, hope you'll be completely recovered soon.

I broke the radius bone in my right elbow 15 years ago and got a cast from my shoulder to the tips of my fingers! It healed well and I never had a problem since. Fingers crossed that you have the same luck.

Perhaps it was a lucky break for me (ha! another pun!) as I hardly had the cast removed when we drove down to visit Sis and BiL in Portugal - and returned with our darling Gato!

 

Hi KD,

I knew i could have done with a break but i meant Barbados or something

I am actually enjoying the challenge of hobbling around on my own (ah the freedom, no nagging and whining for 4 whole days :D ).

Have been amusing myself by ordering even more shrubs for the garden but we won't tell hubby 'bout that

Still haven't managed to get cork out of bottle, its like being on a diet and surrounded by cream cakes.

I am now worrying for my sanity because out of sheer boredom i have been giving the crane flies names, Arthur, Florence and Oberon. I named all the garden ornaments aswell - Colin, Keith, Graham, Craig, Peter and Tarquin.

Perhaps i should lie down........

 

sorry to hear the bad news paula, do hope your on the mend and get back to doing the things you most enjoy. take care

 

Thank goodness for the Web Linda

I have learned more recently by surfing one fingered than i have in a long time, some rather bizzare subjects aswell.

Must hide the Credit Cards b4 i spend any more on plants :D

Thanks for your kind msgs all.

 

well at least you can punch in the credit card details and have a good spend :D and funnily enough i just use 1 finger for typing :D on here, you can tell i was never a typist but i get by. :D

 

Hope your soon on the mend Paula , get a screw top bottle next time , its a lot easier than fiddling with a corkskrew :D
