I’ve got my furry friends keeping me company!
I wonder if they can put away the Xmas tree.....
OMG
Sorry to hear you had to have surgery, but good thing you are on the mend now. Yes, that Whiteflash website in dangerous. Are you looking for something in particular? PSers are great enablers and can help you find the perfect item.
A little update. I ended up needing surgery so couldn’t bling out my cast....
A week before the surgery the orthopaedic surgeon tried to “manipulate, reduce and reset” the wrist hoping to avoid surgery. No anesthesia, just a freezing shot in the wrist that didn’t work. Man nurse told me to lie down in case I pass out....some people do. My husband was kicked out in case he passed out!
Manipulation = dr pulling at hand and man nurse pulling at elbow in opposite direction
Reduction = dr squeezing the living **** out of wrist to bring bones together
New cast = lay gauze with plaster then squeeze the **** out of it some more while it dries......
I think I may have swore a couple of times....
I went back on January 22nd for X-rays to see if bone was stable and unfortunately it had shifted. I was on stand by for surgery on the 23rd. Luckily no emergencies came in so I had my very first surgery. A metal plate and screws were put in to stabalize the wrist. I had a rough 36hrs as I’m not able to take morphine or codeine because of an anaphylactic reaction I had in my early 20’s. I was restricted to Tylenol and, as you may guess, it was a real test in pain tolerance. sad
I feel much better now. I’m going back on Tuesday to get my cast and stitches removed and I was told I’ll have a removable cast for about 4 weeks.
Only problem now is that I have too much time on my hands and I’m on the Whiteflash website looking at diamonds for a potential upgrade.....
Maybe guilt DH into getting one when you are much better?
And all you wanted to do was shovel the driveway! Good grief what an ordeal. You’ve got a great sense of humor about it all Weecam! Oh heck ya, you deserve some new bling!

Sending you buckets and buckets of healing dust and good wishes for a complete recovery @Weecam. I am so sorry you went through/are going through such a harrowing ordeal and I hope it brings you comfort knowing other PSers have gone through something similar and healed without complications. Sending you gentle (((hugs)))!
And good luck with your WF upgrade search...I'll never tell.
I’m very much looking forward to getting back to work. 
This is shocking! I'm sooooo sorry, @Wewechew! Hoping you get well and it all heals super fast!
(Upgrade sounds good....)
No problem @mrs-b ! Took me a while to figure out how to tag someone!
Michelle from Whiteflash helped me as I have a limited budget. I decided on this one:
https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4042799.htm
I wanted to stay at G colour but didn’t mind going down to VS2 to gain size. She said it’s totally eye clean and fiery. I was hoping for a slightly smaller table as I’ve read on here that it produces more flashes?
I may do one more upgrade in the future but don’t want to go too much bigger (2ct?) as the biggest diamond in my circle of friends is a 1 carat...and I have a size 4.5 ring finger. Well I did until I broke my wrist!! I’m hoping that it’s just swelling and it will return to normal. I have a few eternities that can’t be sized...
@Weecam That looks much better! Good luck.
I’m happy to report that I’m finally on the right track. On Tuesday I had my half cast, bandages and stitches removed and I’m now sporting a removable splint. I remove it a couple of times a day to do some stretching and squeezing of a small soft ball. It’s awful how tendons and muscles shrivel up after just 3-4 weeks...
In 3 1/2 weeks the splint will come off permanently and I’ll be going to physio.
@Weecam That looks much better! Good luck.
thank you @Garnetgirl !
