What's Up With Addie?


Any guesses?

Any ideas?

Are you getting closer to figuring it out?

Here is a big clue! What do you think?

Well, I'll tell you what the doctors think. She broke her ring finger on her right hand by fighting with a friend over an exercise resistance band (you know the ones that are like bungee cords).


This was a surprise to everyone, including the nurse practitioner, since we all thought that the middle finger was in the worst shape. When I needed to rewrap the cast, I couldn't pass up the chance to get a picture to show everyone (this was taken ~ 2 1/2 days after her injury).

Now look again! I guess that sometimes, you really are given a brand new perspective when you look at things from a different angle.

There are definite perks to being injured, though!
Adelaide had these beautiful flowers delivered to her from her Grandpa and Grandma Pete! She was ecstatic! She was so thrilled when I answered that, Yes, they were real flowers. She immediately wanted to smell the 'real flowers.'

With this treatment, I am afraid she will want to break a bone again soon! In fact, actually, I might try out the method, if this is what ensues!!!

  3. Man, I guess I just need to break some fingers to get flowers delivered. THat will teach Addy not to fight over exercise bands.
