3 month Adjustable ARM


Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to try kite surfing with a practice kite. Something I have wanted to try for about 4-6months now.
It was a blast. I got a little air and was having a good time.
Then I flew 20feet forward and landed on my right shoulder. Yup it's broken. Snapped the humerus across the ball joint. Yay Oxycodone and Vicodin!

I would type the whole story but I'm high right now on pain killers.
Here is the arm. Maybe someone will feel like leaving a blow by blow in the comments...

Sorry Pics are not loading for some reason......



I'm so blessed to have friends and family who have been so caring and helpful.

Opal Creek

I love Oregon! Opal creek in amazingly isolated, alive, and you can pop your tent anywhere!
I went out Thursday and got there around 2pm. All the day hikers where leaving just as I was on my hike in. So I had the place to myself. It's so good to get away from cell phones, e-mail, traffic noise and just be. Be in nature with God. It was a much needed time of rest. Something I need to do more often. Ok enough blabbering here are the pictures. They are no Blaine Franger shots but they will have to do.
Oh check out the Opal Creek website. http://www.opalcreek.org/







This last one is where I camped for the evening. Falling asleep to the sounds of the stream was perfect after hiking until I was exhausted. The water was crystal clear and tasted great, after boiling of course. Camping trip with sister to be posted shortly.
