I fell asleep before your email came last night. This is a great post, full of interesting stories. I am so sorry you fell but very thankful you are OK. The wrist is such a complicated joint. You are right to be concerned about breaking it (or your ankle). Castor oil is a known natural treatment to speed up bruise healing. You might want to try it. My Italian grandmother always talked about it, and I also read that it was how boxers would quickly get back in the ring after a fight!

Wonderful about the Bible Study. I pray you are very blessed through this!

Thanks for commenting. I am so used to your likes and comments, I was a bit worried about you! Glad sleep was the reason! Yes, I'm so thankful it was not my wrist. Hubby is big on fish oil. I'm not sure I'm an oil person myself. The way I eat it would be hard to add it to stuff and I don't see myself doing it straight either.

You’re so sweet! I’m a night owl usually!

Actually you apply castor oil directly to the skin in this case….thankfully….it tastes awful I heard!

Keep us posted on recovery!

Joan - I posted a link to that Boatlift video yesterday on Jeff’s stack. I thought it was an hour long so was going to watch with hubby tonight. Realizing it was less than 12 mins, I just now watched while lying in bed. What a gift to start my day with tears of joy seeing the beauty of the American spirit.

I’m glad you are ok from your mishap and that your phone was the only thing cracked.

Praying that soon, you will have more tears of joy than tears of grief. 🙏🙏🙏

Glad you are okay. And I love the sentiment you have attached to the ordinary heroes who could not sit idly by.
