Add me to the injured list. Must’ve jinxed myself!

Got to Tromso, but the hotel room wasn’t ready yet, so we left our luggage in a storage area in the lobby and went out to see if we could find a store to buy a box of Kleenex. I had come down with a cold right before we left, but mostly just a runny nose and I was running out of Kleenex. Anyway, we stepped out of the hotel and barely got a 100 yards up the street when I slipped and fell on the icy curb. I instinctively tried to break my fall with my left hand, and yup… broke it right at or above the wrist. I knew I was hurt but didn’t want to believe it. Anyway, after putting ice and a towel on it for awhile, decided I should go have an xray done. So now I’m in a cast and so pissed off at myself. Hopefully it won’t slow us down too much. Biggest problem is getting dressed and undressed with winter clothing that will be loose sleeved enough to get over the cast. May have to buy a pair of large winter mittens, too. I am so bummed. The good thing is that it should heal up fine, I hope. They didn’t have to set it… just put the cast on and told me to keep it dry, elevated, and exercise the fingers until I get back home and have a different cast put on it. On top of that I am dead tired after traveling all that way. This really sucks, but I may as well share some of the pain! Hopefully I can still go dogsledding…. I hope.
