How’s this for a random. I flew to another state Wednesday to have a massive wrist reconstruction using prosthetic bone and tendon grafts yesterday and I’m flying home today. 0 stars, much pain, do not recommend.

Did you have an accident or was this a progressive/overuse thing or something else altogether?

Did you have an accident or was this a progressive/overuse thing or something else altogether? Unsurprisingly, given my body and my luck, it’s technically neither. I developed a degenerative wrist disorder 10 years ago that cut off the blood supply to the central wrist bone (lunate.) A misinformed Dr performed a very aggressive and very unnecessary surgery in 2013 that did not fix the issue. And now 10 years later the lunate is dead and crumbled. Docs here wanted to fuse my wrist and said I would never do yoga or a push-up again. So I googled the greatest hand and wrist surgeon in the world. He gave me a prosthetic lunate and a tendon graft to hold it in place. I should theoretically regain full motion and be able to do anything except cartwheels and handstands. Which will impact yoga some. But I am hopeful.

E is choosing orchestra also but hasn’t chosen her instrument. But I can’t believe they are going to be middle schoolers!

Some people over in GD are talking about when they joined these groups. It reminded me my 9 year anniversary is coming up because I joined the bump's CD board in the spring just as a bunch of you were getting ready to have babies! Where has the time gone?

Found my MIL sewing patterns this weekend. There are probably 30 vintage 60-70’s patterns. This is amazing.
Also, I’m the only one that does any sewing. No one in the family has expressed interest other then me.

I probably only joined a few months before you. Maybe December or January of 2013/2014. I was pregnant with M and researching CDs. Then came the epic crotch-watch of May 2014.

Some people should not own pets. Brought to you by the awful mess that is our dinning room subfloor.

I know it'll reduce our renter options, but people let their dogs and cats do gross things and don't seem to think it's an issue.

As someone who rented and had pets (and took care of them well in all rentals) I totally agree with this.

My sister is in labor! She just called me and I was like “You can’t call me like this when you’re 39 weeks pregnant” and she was like "Well I went to the doctor this morning because I wasn’t feeling well and I'm 4cm dilated! They're sending me to the hospital." They're team green and also haven't share any of their name choices, so I'm very excited!

Can’t wait to meet her next weekend!

Having laryngitis sucks! Especially, when you have 3 kids to yell at, I mean take care of.

It’s slow here. Just wanted to say, I took everyone’s advice and went dramatic change. Still need to touch up the trim, ceiling, and get white outlet covers and a new intake cover. Still trying to convince my husband that fixture needs to be replaced. Maybe if he hits his head on it a few more times it will go.

I was going to tag you in a post about kid glasses on GD but thankfully noticed you were the OP 😆 Good and bad. His prescription changed a little and he now has to wear them all the time. We had a discuss that they should always be on his face. For the rare time they are not they need to be in a case in his backpack or desk. I may check those sites to get him a cheaper pair of sunglasses.
