Owwwww.
I just kerblonged a safety/basting pin. Big time.
Managed to remove the pin. Tie off. Rethread. Proceed calmly.
Needle goes 'blunk, blunk'.
Change needle.
Knock over medicine bottle of ker-blunked needles and jerk to grab
it before it hits the floor.
Rescue bottle while encountering most sturdy SM.
There's an awful rising buisey lumpy thing on my wrist. It hurts.
Bad. I have ice on it but think a pity party is going to be needed. I have
the beverage of your choice. Bring chocolate. Pitiful Polly woe is me

Ah. Just right. Chocolate and 20 year-old Scotch would probably make me
all better. Polly

Bit far for me to join the party - but I'll have a sip or two for medicinal
purposes for you.

Hope it's only a bad bump - take care now.

Do take care, Polly. 'Wrists' can be awkward.
You might have to have it 'looked at'. I'll raise my first cup of tea
to you and your wrist, in hopes that it's all right!

Probably would do more good, than 20 year old brownies, and cheap
Scotch!

Good morning. Wrist is quite fine today; maybe it was applying the ice pack
immediately or the sympathy and refreshments. Just nothing as good as
sharing with friends. Polly

Well, glad to read this rather than "we spent the night drving to the
ER because I couldn't sleep and it had turned awfully pretty batik
colors and I was going to pull fabric to match to think about a new
project but Mr. Esther made me go with him to have it looked and and
now I am typing one-handed because I broke my wrist"

;)
If you get to town look for the homeopathic remedy arnica montana,
which are sublingual tablets usedful for healing on bruising.

I'm good for a party but this isn't so good. Hope
your wrist feels better soon. Maybe this is a good
time to sit down for a bit with an Evanovich book?

Just what I need, a pity party!

Arm is up in nasty lump that is very hurty and also itchy. Result of
Pig Disease jab last Wednesday. I now feel like it has been hammered by
a lead pipe. Not happy.However, I have a nice Shaffenacher chocolate I
can make cake with, so we can have Bouche de Noel and cream... :)

Version 1:
I've never been to a PP for a needle before, but what the hey...
Oh, poor, poor needle! What has that nasty ol' Polly done to you?

Version 2:
I've got just 2 words for you...

I have some very good single malt Scotch that I will share. I can
stop and get some chocolate on the way. Cyber Scotch and chocolate
heading your way from Texas.

Well, I missed the pity party (I haven't been reading the newsgroup real
regularly, I'm afraid), but I'm sure glad to know the healing is in the
works even without my sympathies and support. Oh, well, you know I would
have been there if I coulda'.

Shoot, I missed the pity party also....I would have said, "take two
chocolates and call us in the morning" but I'm too darn late! I hope
by the time you read this all is well and you are back sewing
happily. Donna

Mama always said 'Misery loves company'. Poor darling. She had no idea
what fun a pity party with rctq could be. Next time I'll bake brownies too.

Brownies and the beverage of my choice would definitely bring me to
any party, including a pity part. And now I must put on my "mom" voice
and be the one to break up the fun and laughter. Dear Polly, if that
"awful rising bruisey lumpy" thing is hurting and still swollen
tomorrow, please take it to a doctor. Something just might be broken
or chipped or cracked.

still looking for those brownies

Awwww, poor Polly...
I miss everything.
But, if it still hurts and is swollen you really should get it looked
at.
I don't have any brownies, but I could send you some cyber M&M's and a
glass of Merlot?
Get well soon!
