Green cast and election day hopes

Got the splint thing off today and saw my arm for the first time since Friday. The incision is about an inch long. Much bigger than I thought it would be. Was nice to have my arm free for about 30 minutes before I got the green cast. It is cool looking - or at least my boys thought so. The doctor said my cyst was really deep. His exact words were "I was digging to China it was so deep!" He said it was wrapped around a vein, but fortunately not the artery. He did close off that vein, but he could still feel my pulse in the normal place, which he said was a good sign. I go back on the 16th to get the cast off and get a removable splint.

Here is me and Hot Rod today with my green cast, oh yeah, and my darker hair. It is hard to completely distinguish in this pic, but a big difference from the blonde. AoD hates it, but I like it.


Four years ago I camped out in the den floor with my pillows, blanket and the remote control. I watched a loopy Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw into the next day. I'm really hoping we have a clear winner this year. I'll be up watching and probably periodically blogging. Not sure about that.
