journaling: Exactly one year ago, I broke my wrist! It was the first time I broke a bone, and it was a tough phase... Well, we were going to pick Zoe up from school to take her for the corona virus vaccine on the other side of the city. It was raining, and I went to take out the trash, and then to save time, instead of going in through the door and down the stairs, I went in through the downhill garage. Big mistake. Just before reaching the garage, I slipped of course and put my left hand in to stop the fall. Luckily I was holding a bag with my right hand, so I only broke my useless arm. Anyway, after many hours and a lot of money in the emergency room of a private hospital, I went to a local doctor, and he initially put me in a splint. A couple of days later, I went back and he put a normal plaster on me, then another thing that I don't remember what it's called, but the good thing was that it came off and I could wash my hand. This whole story cost quite a bit of money. Of course there is a silver lining. I learned, although I stuck to it for a while only, not to push myself, because the household chores are never ending; I learned to appreciate what I have, because in 2 months my arm was fixed, while others have permanent disabilities. And now I know: if it rains, I stay home. broken wrist: Jan. 11, 2022 journaling: Jan. 11, 2023
