It’s always a hectic end of year scenario for me
and this year proved no different.
Dreams of a handmade Christmas fall by the wayside
with work deadlines steamrolling all things!
On Boxing Day my family and I flew to Sydney
to spend 9 days beachside in Manly.
Ahhhhhhhhh. Sun, sand and surf.
And then BAM this happened…
On Day 3.
A partial obtuse fracture through my left radius.
AKA a broken wrist.
From a slip on a rock in knee deep water.
(I feel ancient just saying that –
hello, elderly woman with osteoporosis.)
Not sure just how long I will be in plaster
but it is an epic disaster in my books:
no knitting,
no swimming,
no exercising (it hurts to walk let alone run!),
no work,
one handed typing of this blog post…
[this list goes on and on.]
So. Roll on 2015.
It is surely only going to get better from here!!
I do hope you had a beautiful Christmas
and best wishes for a creative + rewarding 2015.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. This could be the universe reminding you to slow down a little :-). When I fractured my ankle two years ago I was literally stuck at home for 8 weeks. I couldn’t go anywhere without someone with me (and everyone was at work) and I couldn’t exercise which was extremely frustrating. What I did realise though, is I need to make some changes in my life. Previously my life was just one continuous runaround with hardly a chance to breathe. I took stock, changed my exercise regime so I went out once instead of 3 times a day. Decided on how many hours I could be available for paid work. I’m so much better off for this as is my family. The only thing I miss from that enforced home time is the knitting time :-)

Ouch :(
Broken bones are a lot more painful than they get credit for, aren’t they? I didn’t realise until I broke my ankle a few years back.
I can empathise with the frustration, especially the lack of knitting and exercise.
Speedy recovery to you, I hope at least your bones are knitting ;)
