Thanks and a new injury

[Guest guest]

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. It really meant a lot

to me. I had a good day, with people at work coming up unexpectedly and

wishing my a good day, spending time with a former professor and friend,

as I talked to her class at the University of Northern Iowa today, then

coming home to a surprise party given to me by some friends at church.

This was an amazing birthday, as many of mine have gone by unnoticed by

everyone besides my mom, so your wishes made the day special.

Laurie, I am afraid I am following in your footsteps. Yours too, Nikki.

I am now in a right wrist splint after a fall at work today. I stood up

for a minute to get some books ready for my students. Next thing I new I

was on the ground. I called into another teacher to help me. By the

time I left work, my neck, arm, wrist, shoulder, and back were bad enough

that I had to go into the doctor. I have a lot of bruised and pulled

muscles and sprains. I am in the wrist splint and am supposed to be

getting a soft neck brace to help some of the healing. I don't have to

be in it all the time, as we don't want my neck to become dependent on

it. It certainly kept the day interesting! :-)

Thanks again for the birthday wishes.

Smiles,
