Just then  I suddenly I broke the unspoken rule not to speak to strangers in the Emergency waiting room.

“Wow! I too slipped on the ice and broke my wrist!”

And with that response, the prevailing frequency shifted, quickened. . .

She and I started talking, detailing our own falls, then segueing to Bloomington weather, frequency of icy streets, etc. I asked her how long she has lived here. All my life, she responded. “And you?”

I told her 20 years, that I got here because my 55-year-old husband Jeff wanted to go to law school and picked IU.

“WHAT? I KNOW HIM! I REMEMBER HIM!”

(to be continued)

 

Today, noon, surgery, uneventful. Home by 3 pm. The new splint frees my fingers, so can do much more than before. not type yet tho. still pecking.

Once home, with glove removed it was obvious that wrist likely broken. One of my housemates, Adam, agreed to drive me to Emergency entrance of IU Health hospital and said he would stay with me. I told him not necessary.

The Emergency waiting room was filled with lost souls, sitting isolated, lonely, depressed, either staring at phone screens or trying to nap. Nobody acknowledging anybody else. Like a scene from hell.

I sat in a seat of an empty hall row, windows behind me and bathroom doors opposite.

Twenty minutes later a couple came in, sat near me. I heard him speak into his phone. ‘My wife slipped on the ice and broke her wrist.”

!!!!!

And that’s when the fun began . . .

(To be continued. Remember, I am pecking with one hand.)

 

Meanwhile, this morning, ortho appointment and decided on surgery after all. Tomorrow.

“To me, the most interesting question about human memory is why only certain events, rather than others, carry a charge. Where does the charge come from?” — AK, 1986, A Soul’s Journey
“At a party, many decades ago, a man whom I had just met burst out, in a tone of wonder: ‘You are the first continuously splitting schizophrenic I’ve ever met!’ I bowed low and responded, ‘Thank you!’” —
