Fall from Grace




10 days. No weight bearing poses - certainly no upside down trees or balancing or dogs. Standing poses and forward bends and hip openers for me.

Lots of ice - at least DC has plenty of that.

Nice accessory. Does it come in any other color?

The nice folk in the ER last night didn't mention any other color options. However, I think the taupe and ivory of the wrap with the basic black splint makes for a stunning accessory, easily coordinated with casual and business wear.

What shoes would you suggest? Heels? Pumps? Flats?

Well, my first thought would be my 20 eyelet Dr. Martens - work the hard core image. But that seems almost too obvious.

I noticed the delicate red threading at the edge of the wrap - so my top contender currently is the pair of red suede 3.75" Stewart Weitzmans. A little unexpected, but the color really would really tie everything together.

hi Portside
sorry about this. it looks like you're looking at the funny side of things. is this a result of repetitive stress syndrome or of a fall on the ice?
hugs

Arturo.

I was working on handstand Thursday night and started to fall out of it, ultimately landing on my left hand. Nothing broken - just badly sprained.

There's no reason to fight it, that won't change anything. So might as well find a silver lining.

Plus the look on the ER nurse's face when he asked how I hurt my hand was almost worth the price of admission. Note, *almost*.

It's not exactly the weather for suede out. Patent is both elegant and weather resistant.

I can't believe this was a handstanding injury! Don't tell Anne!

OOOO. Good call on the patent. I have some very nice deep red/maroon patent Calvin Klein high heeled loafers.

I know and I'm normally so good at falling. I'll do my best to keep it from Anne.

I recall that you're left-handed. Does it hurt when you try to write or draw?

Writing, typing, drawing, cooking, brushing my teeth, etc - certainly all have a new level of challenge. Tv/movie watching is quite easy.

I snuck the splint off for a short bit at work to type up a long document and was reprimanded by one of my attorneys.

Sigh.
