Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
Alexa told me what happened. That's really unfortunate, breaking your arm and leg with such a silly fall. But the pics and your stories show you can see the bright side of it. That's really amazing! Are you going to get surgery?
Brian can add my wish as well:
"Shelby, you rock! Get well soon. Love, Erika."
We had another sister Annika, her album also has a lot of pics of me.
Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
Hi Erika! Thanks so much for writing! No - no need for surgery... everything went back into place when they "popped" it, so all it takes now is time in the cast. Actually they told me I didn't break my arm - just a bad sprain, but it sure does hurt using it with the crutches! So I'm starting to get pretty good at "hopping" on one leg instead of using them for short distances, like around the living room. We'll pick a nice spot for your adding your name and wish to the cast when we settle in this evening for TV, and I'll get a photo of it for you tomorrow! Any place in particular you would like it to go?Erika wrote:Hi Shelby,

I was thinking thereabouts: Love,

He's a fiend! Keeps trying to take shots from the back when I'm trying to practice! The cast is slowly starting to fill in... can't wait to see how "lived in" it looks in a couple weeks!

Wow - the ankle chain is a cool idea... have to see if we can do something like that. I'll post some pix if we figure out how to make it look good!lilbitlonely wrote:Hey Shelby. Sorry to hear about your accident. If it's any consolation, you've got a stylin' cast, and you look cute using those crutches. If I could sign your cast, I'd make it look like an ankle-chain.
Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
Sorry we faded out for a day or two, but, apparently I have a knack for getting hurt, and it happened again, only this time it will require some expert help!
It all started simply enough... the other day my leg was feeling so much better, so we decided to get back to work on the floor and take a few photos, starting with stuff like this... Then since I had no idea what I was doing, we decided to just take a few photos and quite... Brian seemed to think the shorts I was wearing merited a photographic study! I rolled over to take a few on my tummy (Yes... he was standing over me taking pix of my ass!)... And when I rolled over to change poses, this is what I found! This was more than just your basic broken leg, so Brian wrote to Jeff at BCD right away and he was so nice! He talked to Indigo for us, sent us the procedure Indigo sent him for the repairs, and is sending us some TPE glue so we can fix me! I thought that was so nice of him... and we just wanted to thank him publicly and let everyone know what a great job he does!
So, we bandaged my arm almost in a straight position so we would remember not to bend it, 'cos when my arm is straight you can barely even see the cut! I took it easy for a day, but I was feeling kind of froggy last night and wanted to wear something nice for bed and TV, so I pulled a pair of white tights on (he keeps the A/C really chilly!)... even over my cast, and put on my pink nightie. Seemed to work... we went to bed early and snuggled! I had to keep pulling the sofa cover over me during Star Trek, though 'cos it was so chilly! We'll keep you posted on how the first-aid treatment goes!
TTTL!

Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
That cut looks pretty bad since it's all the way to the bone. You seem to handle it very well but please tell Brian you need to take it slow for a while!

But nice to hear you´re getting the supplies to get it healed. I hope they will arrive soon and that you recover well.
Love,
Erika

Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
The worst part is I don't even know how I did it! We weren't doing anything crazy... it was just... "There"! But we are going slow and easy... he started the mineral oil treatment Indigo recommended, and then when the glue Jeff is sending gets here we'll be ready to "suture" me up and I should be good as new (I hope!)Emma_p wrote:Oh dear Shelby

Oops! I didn't realize Brian was still logged in from when he entered me in the August portrait contest when I sent that last reply! That was from me, though!Emma_p wrote:Oh dear Shelby

The instructions are already here... Jeff contacted Indigo for us and sent us the details on what we need to do, and the glue from Jeff should be here in a few days. Until then, I'm just enjoying being pampered and not having to do much of anything!
Re: The Life and Times of Shelby
Thanks so much Holly. Indigo's instructions made complete sense, so I think I'll be OK. It's a nice, clean cut despite being deep, so I think it should heal without much of a scar.Holly2017 wrote:You poor girl. I'm crying. Hope everything heals well. Indigo is a smart man so all should be fine. Tell Brian to be careful with that glue, it's powerful stuff. Hugs and kisses-Holly
