\"wrists\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, yes. While in Vermont enjoying glorious, warm, weather, I ventured out on the deck. Looking at the sky, I managed to not see a large, metal umbrella base and tripped over it landing on my right side. Although I realized I\u2019d done something to my right wrist, I assumed a sprain as, happily, there was very little pain albeit a lot of swelling. I drove home a few days later with no trouble but then, as the swelling refused to abate, decided to have the wrist seen by an orthopedist. Cutting to the chase, spent many hours in New York-Presby waiting room and, once it was clear the radius, (one of eight \u00a0<\/span>wrist bones), was broken, a young doc straight from Central Casting in terms of eye-candy, um, cast it.<\/p>\n

No more ortho details other than my hope that cast is made smaller next week. That should allow for easier typing (and dressing).<\/p>\n

In keeping with the bones theme, here\u2019s a recipe for braised lamb shanks. (A shank is not a wrist but I\u2019m taking literary license.)\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s more suited to cooler months but you can file for the future.<\/p>\n
