One little monkey jumping on the couch

Just a quick update before the weekend on the status of Miss Mimi Smartiepants and her arm.

In answer to a couple of questions….she is doing great and yes, she did break it jumping on the couch. Thank you for asking in comments and via e-mail.

All I can say is, ugh.

She was flinging herself around the sofa, and I asked her to stop, so she jumped one…last…time and flung herself fist first into the arm of the couch.

Her wrist hit, buckled, and she has something called a torus in her forearm. The bone buckled, but did not snap in half.

She will be in the splint for 2 weeks, and then we will check it again.

It has not slowed her down in the least, as you can see here

She whooped her Dad in a friendly game of soccer.

Newsflash….Just this very moment, as I was typing this, she climbed up on the couch and started JUMPING ON IT AGAIN.

Where is some wood, so I can bang my head against it.

Thank God it is Tropical Drink Friday. Tonight will be Gin Freezes. Won’t you join me?
