elisemThere were thunderstorms going flickaflick kaBOOMba in the Twin Cities much of the night, so I am awake. Now that doesn't mean awake enough to make a proper post on how things are, but here's the basic stuff:
On May 10, I unexpectedly surfed down a collapsing retaining wall which then yeeted me headfirst into the side of the house. I got a concussion and a double-fractured ankle. And now I'm recuperating.
It was a short retaining wall, which is a great piece of luck, because things could have been so much worse. Even at the height of a couple of feet or so, like it was. There were a lot of important bits of good luck. Those stories are for later, though. For now, I'm just waving at everybody here and saying hi, I'm still here! Some of you have heard already, and have been kind and have helped get me to the ER, the ortho team, the imaging people, and all the rest, and there are not enough words to express this gratitude, but THANK YOU SO MUCH.
And now, probably sleep time. Again. It's remarkable how much sleep a person can need when recuperating from fractures or concussions, or both.
(And I hope you are having a much more pleasantly calm spring/summer yourself!)

Date: 2026-06-13 02:28 pm (UTC)(I'm actually in Minneapolis for the next couple of weeks for 4th Street Fantasy/seeing some friends! If you would like, I'd love to maybe try and leave some get-well goodies for you if I have a place i can drop them off at. Nothing too exciting, but if you tell me your favorite sweets, or fruit, or something like that, I'd be happy to try and get them to you somehow. <3)
