Dear Marsha,
	I am so very sorry to hear of your accident! I do hope and pray that
your wrist isn't broken. It has to be particularly tough that you injured
your dominant hand. I will lift you up in prayer praying that your injury
isn't as bad as could be the case. 

	Do you have a husband or family member who can provide needed care
for both you and your dog? Until you know more from your orthopedist you
will just have to call on your friends and relatives to help you out for a
while. After all, I'm sure you would do the same for someone you love who is
in pain and in need of care. Those of us on the list will be amazed that you
were able to dictate the below message as accurately as you did. We'll be
pulling for you and we'll behave ourselves too.  

Blessings always,

Kathy Davis

   hi list members, I'm emailing tonight to let you know what is going on
with me. I'm to ask that you be patient with me. On Monday evening I took a
minor fall off the curb. I was working my puppy at the time, and slipped off
of a curb. I landed on my bum and my wrist and elbow took the brunt of my
fall. So Tuesday I woke up and was fine. Wednesday I woke up and my wrist
was very painful and swollen. So as a person, who does not like to go to
doctors, unless I am dying, I waited and thought I could get over the pain
and swelling. Today I went to the urgent care. As of right now I don't have
a break, only because there's so much swelling. that is not to say that
there won't be a break. Or that there isn't a break already. But with an
x-ray that they were not able to see if there was a break. In other words,
when I am trying to say, is that I am now only down to one hand. I'm not
allowed to type or anything like that with my right hand. Of course this
would've had to been my dominant hand. :-) The hand that I do everything
with. So, my point, is that you're all going to need to be very patient with
me. I was my signature says I'm using dictation to write this email. If I
make a mistake. It's because the dictation made the mistake. I am only doing
the best that I can. If I misspell a word. Again it is that this dictation
has made a mistake. I ask that you be patient with me. I will be in a splint
until next week at some point. At that point I will then go back to an
orthopedic doctor I have more x-rays. Hopefully by then we can determine if
it's truly a break or not. I asked that everyone please pay attention to the
rules. Do your part in being a good list member. That includes providing
your name and email at the end of each of your email post. I will send the
rules again as Justin email at some point in the very near future. Just in
case those people who did not get the attachment, then can read it. If you
do have any questions you're welcome to email me. But again I will be using
dictation, and it might take me a little bit to get back to you. So with all
of this information, does anyone have any ideas on how to take care, or how
to work your puppy was only one hand? Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you,
