As some of you may or may not know I am crippled! I was working on my house a couple weeks ago filling some holes with some spackling. When I decided it would be a good idea to use an extension ladder (I now know that was a bad idea). I put the ladder to the right height tested it a little and started my climb. About two rungs up the ladder starts collapsing and falling as do I. I put my hands down to brace myself and the ladder and myself fall down upon my poor little right thumb. The poor thing never had a chance. I quickly access the damage, a smashed flat thumb, and yell for Bryce. He came out and started running as soon as he saw the damage! We quickly made it to the hospital where there were x-rays, morphine injections, nerve blocks, surgery, 1plate 7 screws, & 2 casts later I'm almost as good as new! In 3 more weeks I have another Dr.'s appointment to determine whether or not I have to keep this thing on any longer! Yay so much fun!

Wow, what bad luck! Hope it heals quickly for you! Sounds pretty traumatic!
Oh dang Joell! That's crappy! I hope it is healing up. At least you get to wear that fabulous purple cast for a while! ;)
That totally SUCKS! Shh we don't say that word in our house, but the kids can't read yet right! Great war story though. You should tell everyone you broke it fighting with Bryce and now you have an advantage next time with the cast on-just to see there faces!!!!
