Broke the left wrist. Hubby's problems are with his right arm. So,
between the two; we have a right and left hand. Sometimes takes us both to
do simple tasks; but that is where the humor comes in.
I can't button my jeans with one hand; but he can hug me from
behind and button them. Makes people do a double take when I come out of a
public rest room; turn my back and he puts his arms around me!
And, I only got a plain old white cast!

Well sometimes the brain scan doesn't help, my mother in law had
brain
surgery in September after many brain scans and she fell Thanksgiving
day and broke her wrist. She had surgery Wednesday to repair the one
broken bone and the other one that she crushed. This all happened the
day after my father in law had hernia surgery.
Maybe Jackie and Ruby need to get together, what wrist did you break
Jackie? Did you get a red and green cast too?
Take care of yourselves,
