Wacky Thursday...without power!

I got some things done at work and checked a few things off of the todo list. Got one of my major goal projects for the year going with some momentum. In the afternoon my arm swelled some more and I called the doc. I get to see them today after work. I got home exhausted but couldn't fall asleep. Got groceries and that was a chore. I was good not using the arm to get things but manhandling the cart that was loaded down was not fun. Richard was awesome and helped me get things unloaded. I sat down exhausted to watch a bit of tv and scanned in the books that arrived from amazon. Then the power went out...in a very freaky way. I thought I was having a siezure since things were flashing for a bit. Richard came in from the shop and the whole neighborhood was out. Now this was my second power failure of the day...at work we were out for about a minute.

What the heck is going on? No one seems to know. Though I think the power went out before the time stated.
But I finished working on my webpage a bit and then snuggled down in bed to read by candle light. About 930 or so the power kicked back on and I took a shower. I didn't want to use up the hot water before mel got home from VH...who had power btw and I called to check. BTW, if you have an non-cordless phone it still works, it doesn't matter who you have for phone unless you have vonage.

I got back into bed and read until mel got home. I'm currently reading more Stephanie Plum, number 6 now...and boy are they fun. I need to get my 50 books in 2009 working... this will be my second book for the year. I'll just have to see. So, today is FRIDAY. I'm making kindergarten lunch for dinner (sloppy joes and cheesymac) and we game. That will have happen after the doctor and I pick up some buns...cause I forgot them on my list. We'll see what the doc says...probably rest and don't use it.

Arm update...

Well, my doc was awesome as always. He says I need to ice it and take ibuprofen. They took xrays and I get a sonogram of the tissue next week. The nurse has her "stomach flip" when she saw it...guess they aren't used to seeing girls with bruises.

He told me to do no lifting and let it rest...and it will probably be a few weeks before its better. We shall see..

He did say if my swelling got worse or my hand went cold I get a trip to the emergency room. He said all that I've been doing is good but I need to rest it. We shall see how it goes. I'll keep it rested this weekend and take my meds etc. Next week we'll have the results of the xray and the sonogram.
