Broken Arms

On the last day of school our neighborhood had a fun BBQ to celebrate.  Caleb ran through the grass, tripped on a hole in the grass, fell and busted his arm.  We visited Grandpa who was fortunately working a shift.


Last summer, Luke was running, tripped in the grass, fell and busted his arm.  We visited Grandpa who was fortunately working a shift.


Next summer, I expect Greta will run in the grass, trip and bust her arm. We will visit Grandpa who, hopefully, will be working a shift.

Before, During and After

So these were no abs of steel, but after 3 babies, they were no embarrassment.  This was the night pre-splenectomy.  February 13th.  Yes, I had surgery on Valentines Day.


4 days post surgery.


2 weeks post surgery


3 months post surgery


It was no picnic, but now I have a platelet count that is safe.
