But she can still cook. . .

We're not happy. Could have been worse though.
X-rays were inconclusive, we're waiting on the radiologist's opinion, but it appears that Katie will get by with just a painful sprain from her Sunday morning tumble. She slipped backward on an icy patch, falling in a seated position. Her attempt to break the fall with her left wrist resulted in a sprain, strain or hair-line fracture.
Dr. Beth Kennedy looked it over today, recommended tylenol and ice, and had her fitted for this brace. Should be a couple of weeks of recovery, she predicted. Kathleen can drive and cook, but she can't open a bottle or. . . hook the double eyelets on her bra strap. In that regard, Stan took the opportunity to brag to the doctor that, based on this morning's experience, he's still got the old magic touch.
