Broken arm #2 - May 6, 2012

So, I broke my arm last summer and now here I am.....again with the same arm in a striped cast. (Red and Blue - of course) I was climbing a large plastic bin with three drawers and wheels....and by golly, it slipped out from under me. The funny part, I was buck naked!!!!! Mommy was doing laundry and I had just taken my clothes off to put in the wash and instead of going to put clothes on, I decided to climb. Silly me! It sure hurt - worse than when I broke my arm last year. Here is a picture of me the night I broke it.

But, the story gets even better......I went to the doctor the next day and he told me how tough I was. He said he was going to give me a shot with medicine that would make me not feel my arm for a little while. I think they call the medicine Lidocaine. I was a little scared, but Mommy was right next to me. So that made me feel better. The doctor said he had to "reduce" the bone, whatever that means. He went in to do it and before I knew it I woke up in an ambulance....WHAT???? Then I fell asleep again and woke up in the hospital with all the wires connected to me....here's a picture.

So, they tell me my brain went a little haywire when the doctor gave me the medicine. I was a little (ok a lot) scared, but after the let me go home, I was fine and ready to go to T-ball practice. But, they told me I slept through t-ball that day. Darn!! They were using words like seizure and clonic tonic and other big words to which I don't know the meaning. I'm just glad I have my cool cast!!!! Here's a picture!

I got to stay home from school after this day! Wow, that was fun! Mommy seemed a little extra worried about me.....checking on me a lot and not wanting to leave me, that kind of thing, but things are good now.
