Over 1/6 of the way through

Dear Favorite white button-down sweater,

See you next winter.  Your sleeves are too fitted to accommodate my new limb.

Until we meet again,
Julia

1/6 of the time actually went by pretty quickly.  I'll be 1/4 done in no time...hopefully.  Now I'm super worried though.  I talked to someone the other night who broke his scaphoid bone exactly like I did. He said QUOTE "I'm not even going to tell you how long my recovery was."  I eventually made him tell me. 9 months.  9 freaking months in a cast, and THEN surgery.  I mean, what?!  I understand that everyone recovers differently, but what bone takes 9 months to heal?  No, we aren't iguanas, so I wouldn't expect my finger to just grow back if it got cut off...but I thought 6 weeks was a pretty standard recovery time for broken bones. Apparently, I was beyond mistaken.


I'm taking votes on what color my next cast should be.  Feel free to make suggestions anytime between now and next Tuesday.  Options include: Hot pink, neon orange, neon yellow, purple, blue, black, green (i think) and maybe a nude color.  Keep in mind that this cast will be in a wedding and in wedding photos, so the neon colors might be out of the question.  Katie might break my other arm if I showed up in hot pink to walk down the aisle.

"Oh look, you're broken!"

Countdown to tentative cast removal: 16 days down, 68 to go.
