Fall from Grace

Thanks to Sarah for posting the other day - I have the removable cast off right now so I can type again for a few minutes. I have been wearing the cast for 7 days and it is a major pain!! But on the upside the wrist is feeling better and less swelled up. I go get the special opinion tomorrow just to be safe but I am really thinking it was just a bad sprain.

I have been getting some what happened questions, so here it is: If you refer back a few postings I was biking with a gal from work as she was training for her marathon. Well, I got run off the bike path by a very mean spirited car and lost my balance. I fell over and it could have been ok except the bike I am using has these foot things that holds you in like prison. So I couldn't get my feet out to catch me. My wrist hurt for a week before I went to the emergency room and then they wouldn't let me drive home and I was like, but I drove here and alas I left my car there for the night. So that is the tragic story of my dismal future as Lance Armstrong's replacement for next year's Tour de France.

I get to go home in exactly 1 month - I am so excited!!! My parents are planning a big shindig so I will let you know as I know more.

On the upside - no more fist fights as of yet. That's two in my room this year, I am rethinking a self defense course. One of the kids came back today and he kept glaring at me and I was like - hey - is it my fault you suck! Well, I wanted to say that anyway. It is too hot to fight let alone learn or teach, our air is out in my hallway and it was 103 degrees outside today - not fun especially after the boys have been out plaing football at lunch. They come in and spray down with cologne (or something they have mistaken for cologne) and then come in my room smelling of really bad, cheap cologne and sweat. Does life get any better?

My wrist is pretty done in at this point so I am going back to the cast.
