   Sorry to hear about your broken arm!  I sense some new hub material will be coming out of the experience though.  Isn't that what we do?  Take ordinary (or extraordinary) situations in our lives and turn them into hubs?  *wink*
   
   Glad you're ok.

    AEvans, you need the link to the graphics to get them here. You then must use bbcode. For images it is like this. beginning tag is [ img] with no spaces and end tag is [/img ] with no spaces. Put the graphic link between the two tags. I used spaces to keep the system from thinking it is an image I am posting.

       In the first week after my marriage I had surgery on my right wrist (being right-handed). Sure was nice to have an attentive new husband to help me brush my teeth.

    I am dreadfully sorry about your broken arm and wish you fast healing. At least your fingers still work on a keyboard, but I know you must likely keep the arm elevated.
    
    Best wishes and know that I'm thinking about you. A few years back, my ankle snapped apart like a chicken wing - the worst part was the first 20-pound cast and the swelling when it came off. Since you don't stand on your hands -  that I know of - you will surely recover more quickly   
    
    Get well!
