Jan Allison Poet Senryu

I Took a Tumble - Ouch

I broke a fingernail...
it's the least of my worries
fractured finger hurts

I took a tumble this morning.... after 3 1/2 hours at A & E the xrays revealed that I've broken my  little finger, i will be visiting the fracture clinic in the morning.

Apologies in advance as I won't be able to comment as much as I would normally do.

CayCay Godwin May 4, 2018 at 9:50 AM I dunno - breaking a fingernail is a right serious, cussing worthy incident - I'm laughing. You entertain us all while 'you make lemonade.' I admire you and pray for your perfect healing. Be patient. Sorry to be late saying such. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Jan Allison May 4, 2018 at 3:14 PM I am doing ok thanks CayCay but I did too much yesterday when we went out with friends and tried to eat with a knife and fork for the first time since I'dd fallen and struggled especially by the end of the meal and hubby had to help me:-) hugs jan xx

Eve Roper May 3, 2018 at 11:14 PM This one hurts, I feel the pain ... I hope it heals fast and it stays out of your way.. sometimes injury's are like magnets they attract objects to get in your way .. hugs Jan Allison May 4, 2018 at 1:38 AM Thanks Eve I am making progress but I overdid it a little yesterday:-( hugs jan xx

Lin Lane April 27, 2018 at 7:52 AM Gosh darn it, Jan. We all know how much you love to write limericks, but if your Muse has run out of ideas you didn't have to injure yourself to get new material!! Seriously, I'm so sorry you feel ouchy. Oh that gives me an idea for a limerick. Jan Allison April 27, 2018 at 8:17 AM ive posted a limerick Lin lo, it just takes a long time to type now but it could have been a lot worse:-) hugs jan xx

Roy Pett April 27, 2018 at 3:50 AM Sorry to hear this Jan, hope your not feeling too down, but we still need you to entertain us with your amazing poetry so the show must go on, get well soon my friend. :( Jan Allison April 27, 2018 at 6:16 AM I will write when the muse behaves but typing one fingered is SO frustrating as i'm a touch typist normally. hugs jan xx

Ilene Bauer April 26, 2018 at 5:52 PM ouch indeed! hope it doesn't hurt too much and heals quickly, jan! sorry to hear about it... Jan Allison April 27, 2018 at 3:15 AM I was in the UK on a short break (how apt) and had to go to the hospital when we got home last night as the finger wasn't set straight so another 2 hours in accident and emergency. it will be about 6 weeks before the strapping comes off its very frustrating:-( hugs jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen April 26, 2018 at 2:45 PM - AUUU ... sounds painful, Jan - "Getting old" takes its time, and busy people just do not have time :) - Be careful ... - As everyone knows, humor and laughter are good for your health :) - Good recovery, Jan - Wish you a brilliant evening even though the conditions are a bit difficult ... - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jan Allison April 27, 2018 at 3:11 AM lol thanks Anne-lise:-) hugs jan xx

Line Gauthier April 26, 2018 at 12:50 PM What poets will do for inspiration ! Get well soon, Jan. Line xx Jan Allison April 26, 2018 at 1:28 PM Lol Line it's the first time I've broken a bone .... just feel silly as I fell in the street. We had only commented about the uneven paving the day before, main thing is its not serious just inconvenient and painful but hubby will be around to help me with things I'll struggle with like cutting food. I will devise ways of doing things with my right hand only:-) hugs Jan xx
