I spent the morning at the hospital in Columbia, MO. During the delivery this morning I fell and had multiple fractures in my right wrist. Wrapped up hefty with a splint in there, will probably get a cast in a week or two. I have zero use of my right arm and hand. It's fun.

Also painful.

Sorry, to hear this. I hope you mend quickly. If it were me, I would take some calcium and Vit D to speed up the recovery.

I guess it's better then breaking your shell. I'm sure you will figure out how to get around...

Sorry to hear that. Not breaking the hip is a blessing for sure. Seems like that is never a good sign of things to come.

My mother in law broke her hip a few weeks ago. Glad I was close to Columbia Mo. Was able to visit her before she headed off to her rehab vacation.

If offered pain meds, take them!
Sorry to hear it, if there's anything I can do, you've got my number, don't hesitate to ask.

I was offered pain meds and refused them, sticking to Tylenol instead. Turns out, that appears to have been a mistake.

Thanks. I called the ER and the same doctor was on duty, so they were able to call in a prescription for vicodin. I'm gonna run back into town (currently at the Petro 20 miles east of Columbia) and get that. Then I'm gonna head towards home, either all the way or at least as far as Mt Vernon. Then take a pill. It's astonishing how much more this hurts than it did 24 hours ago. Got very little sleep, a few hours here and there. But hopefully once the swelling goes down it won't hurt as bad.

Hmmm 4th time I've had to shovel snow since yesterday. I must have missed the updated report from just 1-2 inches :eek:

December 1st scheduled for Espar installation in Grand Rapids :) That's about the only thing concrete right now. Between the weather, thanksgiving, and Espar installation coming up next week. Logistically, it leaves me scratching my head. I may just wait till after the installation to start my run to Christmas. At least I know I will be warm :rolleyes:

Turns out, instead of vicodin, it's Tramadol. Might be a good painkiller, I dunno. But for me and this pain, it might as well be Tic-Tacs. I'll get something heftier tomorrow. I'm not looking for recreational happy happy, I'm looking for knock-you-on-your-butt, lights-out, down-goes-Frazier.

Is there a problem with QC or fleetvision, I'm seeing no satellite messages or position updates ?
