Tractor Shows and Broken Arms



Lolo broke her arm the day before I left for Honduras two weeks ago. It was a Sunday and she was at my Mother-in-law's house playing with her distant cousins and she tried to do a cartwheel while running in flip flops. It snapped both her radius and ulna about in the middle. It was a good break because it did not occur on any of the growth plates so there was no need for pins or screws.

Lolo was a trooper and didn't cry until she thought she was going to get a shot. Her arm looked really horrible as you can see from the picture. Ouch.

She is healing very quickly and she should get her pink cast removed by the middle of June.

Yesterday we all went to the local tractor show and tractor pull. I bought a six pack of deep fried double stuffed Oreo cookies. Never again... enough grease to produce several piggie pornos. We then took the kids to a nice little cafe where an classical guitarist was playing.

I'm tired.
