I broke my right clavicle (and I am right-handed) at my first judo tournament ever two Thanksgivings ago. For Thanksgiving AND Christmas, despite the obvious sling on that side, relatives repeatedly forgot and pounded me on that shoulder; the first few times were painful but, after a while, it turned to comedy. The six weeks in the sling were not comedy though . . .

I broke my humerus (yeah yeah…not funny) running, on a nice spongey track. Tripped over my own feet….yup cuz’ I’m clutzy too. Broke my left arm, spent the next 4 wks in a sling. and guess what?! I’m left handed too….typing with one hand was an adventure to say the least. I let my hair air dry and taught my husband to “do a pony tail” for me :-)

I fell down a flight of stairs two summers ago when I was visiting family in New York. The worst part was seeing myself all, I remember. I did managed to maneuver whilst in the air, so I wouldn’t hit my head on the ground. I ended up breaking my left foot in two places, and fracturing my right ankle. It was my last day in New York, so I was carted around JFK in a wheelchair. (Best part? I hadn’t even finished packing for home.)

Yeah!

Poor girl. Bourbon and chocolate should do the trick.

I have to say, it truly is an ingenious way to get out of NaBloPoMo. I think I feel a spill coming on, myself…

You must have incredible patience, drive or craziness to be typing everything and cooking everything with only one hand.

omg, thats awful! and yet, just think of all the pampering… you won’t have to carry your own bags home for thanksgiving…. people will hold doors for you more often, you’ll get taxis more easily… you’ll have to eat out more…
okay, i’ll stop, but seriously, feel better and heal quick!!!

Hi Deb — long time reader, first time commenter…
Ouch! I’m glad you are [mostly] OK. Take care of yourself! Having fallen down the stairs on occasion myself, I can sorta feel your pain.

Love the blog, the photos, and the recipes…my new husband and I love to cook too, though we’re not quite up to your skill level just yet. Or maybe we’re just lazy…
