So I leave work on Friday, determined to ride a little, get to the session in North Amherst on Friday, clean and do errands on Saturday, play a session on Sunday even if it was going to be not terribly fun, then go to PV O'Donnel's concert to benefit the children's hospital, and thence to the pub to party with him and the other folk until the spectre of work on Monday drove me home.
Making a long story short. . .I never got to the ride. In the process of mounting my horse I took a fall, broke both bones in my lower leg, and crawled 50 yards or so (with the foot at a really sickening angle that hurt more to look at it than it actually felt) to a phone where I called my husband. Six hours later I was in surgery, and since then I've been pretty much flat on my back with this hideous thing they CALL my foot propped up on pillows in a soft cast.
Anna. . .now I know what you were going through. I begged Tyghre to bring me a cheap whistle, and taped down its windway so I could play without being heard beyond my room on the orthopedic floor. But nurses and such kept coming in to listen, so I finally untaped the windway.
Today I'm home, but I'll be on my back with the foot up for a while. I counted weeks and realized that I'll probably be out of the cast by the time we leave for Ireland, and the only concession is that there won't be any hiking for me, and we won't have a manual car.
I really want to see some of the less accessible megaliths, but they're going to have to wait for another trip now. Tyghre doesn't like the idea of parking me in a pub while he goes hiking in Ireland {G}
Anyway,
OT - How I spent my weekend

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

Try checking out this website for megaliths. If you don't have a broadband connection it can take a while.On 2002-03-17 18:04, tyghress wrote:

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around. -Leo Buscaglia, author
(1924-1998)

- Tell us something.: Good to be home, many changes here, but C&F is still my home! I think about the "old" bunch here and hold you all in the light, I am so lucky to have you all in my life!
Oh, damn! Tyg, I'm so damn sorry! Will e-mail! (HUG) Keep playing, at least you're making other people in the hospital happy! I crawled about 30 yards and managed to hold on to my purse with all my whistles in it! Trouble was was getting somebody to hear me, had to use my Generation B flat to pound a window. The the poor cops had to hoist me up!
