broken arm = all lower case (plus some food)
not blogging is starting to make me a little sad, so i'm finger typing with one hand this short, and hopefully sweet, post. no caps, no frills i hope nobody minds!
last wednesday while mike was at his basketball game, i made dinner (this was pre-arm break)- african sweet potato and peanut stew.
we had tofu satay with broccoli and quinoa one night, a recipe we've made many times and i can't for the life of me remember where it's from. (mike's been doing all of the cooking since i broke)
also, mexiquinoa from 500 vegan recipes- i topped mine with avocado. it's so good!
i was going to try to make it to work this week but am in too much pain without my pain pills, so i took the week off. been getting to spend lots of time reading, sleeping and resting with the girls. i can't really complain!
on monday they'll hopefully be able to take more xrays to see how bad things are. i might not get a cast at all- only the splint, and he didn't think i'd need surgery. i'm going to try to comment more on everyone's blogs, but can only sit up for short periods of time. my arm swells up something fierce if i don't keep it elevated and iced! i'm still reading everything, though.
i hope you're all having a great week!

Meals looked great and I can dig the lower case lol. Hope you feel better soon..in the mean time enjoy the time with the four legged family..~R~
ReplyDeleteyou made all those meals with one arm? i'm impressed! rest up and get better soon!
ReplyDeleteOf all the bones to break, you lucked out. The girls know you need them. It's a 'Call To Arms', literally.
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing!!! I hope you heal at super human speed and get a hand from everyone possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally impressed you're blogging at all- don't stress the caps or formatting- we all get it. And you're still cooking?! wow. I would be subsisting on fruit at this point. I love the look of the sweet potato stew.
I hope you get good news from the x-rays & feel better soon xxx
Ah, awful! Did you really do all that cooking one-armed? I'd take the week off, at least! Good luck at the doctor!
ReplyDeletered- thanks, i really am enjoying my time off! not how i planned using some of my vacation days, but it's all good. :)
ReplyDeletesara- i only cooked the first meal, actually, before i broke my arm. i can hardly make a pb&j sandwich now! lol
sv- lol, love that, call to arms. i did indeed get lucky- have had my leg bound up before and that made things extremely difficult. a broken arm i can deal with.
claire- thanks! i think my super vegan healing powers will kick in and amaze the doctorts. mua ha ha! see my response to sara above about the cooking ;)
stacy- i seem to have given everyone the wrong impression about the meals..... i'll have to go and edit it!
Glad to hear you took the week off; you certainly deserve a rest and you're arm will heal better with all the rest and the love from your animal companions; good for the soul! I wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteAll the meals look fantastic! I'm especially drawn to that tofu satay; I'd love to tuck into a big plate of that right now.
Good for you taking the week off. I hope you mend up really quick. Your husband sure knows how to cook! Thats one of my favorite qualities in a man.
ReplyDeleteI sure appreciate your taking the time to blog despite the break. Looks like Emma is doing her best to help. Dogs just know this stuff. (maybe cats too sometimes).
Hope the meds help even if they make you out of it. xoxo licks from my pups and purrs from the kitty
I agree, good for you to take some time and heal! Those meals look so delicious, I'm really digging the mexiquinoa though! Avocado makes everything better!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have such loving pets to help you heal :) They will probably be your best medicine.
I hope all goes well with the doctor! Get well soon and thanks for updating us!
You're a trooper! Hope you heal up quickly, but it looks like you're very well guarded and taken care of while it lasts :)
ReplyDeleterose- i'm very glad i took the week off. i've been so exhausted and don't thinl it's just the pain meds doin that. healing takes a lot out of you! it's just weird not being off with mike. we always take our vacations together.
ReplyDeletebitt- he is a really great cook. i'm a lucky woman! the girls have been so sweet to me. definitely helps keep my spirits up. thanks for the love!
vava- you're so right- avocado does make everything better! love it so much. i'm sure all will go well from this point on. i'm past the worst of it, which is a huge relief!
foodfeud- i'm being so well taken care of. i'm spoiled! not complaining at all. :)
I can dig the lowercase typing it's fine. I love that you are able to make meals with only one arm it is amazing. I understand about the pain with your arm I did something to my leg and I have pain issues if I sit up for than a hour.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get better soon! I love the photo of you and your dog. Nice to have someone keeping you company. :)
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! With all that yummy-looking food, I have a feeling you will be feeling pretty good, all things considered.
ReplyDeleteOh Molly, I read about your injury and incident. I hope you feel better soon. If I could, I'd make us some warm vegan beverages and sit with you girl.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless. Rest up and heal well.
ashley- pain stinks! i'm just glad this is temporary because it can really wear you out.
ReplyDeletelorrie- thanks! i am very lucky to have such great company all day. :)
greytveganlife- i am feeling very good despite the situation!
jeri- that would be a good time! thanks so much!
Very dedicated you are, typing with one hand! I've read some blogs where the people always type in all lower case and they don't have your excuse.
ReplyDeleteThe tofu satay with broccoli looks very yummy. It looks like seitan to me, and I love seitan.
Cuddling up with your dog - one of the nice things about being laid up with an injury. Take care.
being with my girls is definitely the thing i'm enjoying most out of this! :)
DeleteOoo, ooo! I'll have the tofu satay, please! That looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad you took the week off, Molly, and hope it's helped. Are you feeling any better by now? (Actually, I was going to tell you not to go to the trouble to type a reply to my comment, then I go and ask you a question. Well, you can type "Y" for yes or "N" for no). :-) You suffered a bad trauma, and I'm not surprised to hear you're exhausted. I think our bodies pour pretty much everything they've got into healing. It's great that you're eating foods that really help that process!
You probably know this, but Sheboygan made the national news because of the kerfuffle over your mayor. My ears perked up like Rowan's when I saw "Sheboygan" in the headlines! :-)
Feel better, Molly, and enjoy the playoffs! (LOL)
i am feeling a bit better. still exhausted, taking naps (which i never do). the pain is still there, just dulled some.
Deletethat mayot of ours has been such a scar on sheboygan. walker has made things bad enough! aargh!
mike will defintely enjoy the playoffs while i'll be sitting next to him for support, only i'll be reading or writing. :)
Aw, nothing like having a dog curled up to you to make you feel better. Hang in there. :)
ReplyDeletethanks sage!
