What happened to my arm?

It was Friday night about 6pm. The plan was to have everything in the suburban for the trip to Haiti and to be in bed by 8pm so that 4am wouldn't come so early. The suitcases were in the suburban and I was finishing up on the backpacks for the airplane.

My youngest 2 kids were acting up, I am sure it had to do with knowing mom was leaving them for 9 days. I had just finished breaking up another fight between them and was on my way back downstairs (main floor) to finish up the backpacks.

Coming down the stairs I heard someone getting into the backpacks. As I got closer I seen the butt of our coon hound (120# dog who is led by his nose) and knew that wasn't good. Sure enough Gunner was helping himself to the snacks in the backpacks, wrappers and all. In my hurry to get him out of them I swung my arm at his butt in a back-handed fashion and I caught his hip bone with my lower arm. I completely broke through my unla (the smaller of the 2 bones in my fore arm) about 2 inches away from my wrist. My whole arm felt like it was on fire.
Side-note... Gunner kept on eating until one of the kids pulled him off the food.

The kids called Mark in the house and he could see right away from the instant swelling and my intense pain that we needed to go to the ER.

Even I could read the x-ray. It was so obvious.

Gunner still thinks he is my bestest friend and has to be by me... that or he was just taking advantage of the shade.

I feel like I have a new born in the house. Gunner got us up no less than every 2 hours last night! How do the kids sleep through a coon hound crying? At 4:45am I finally just stayed up because by the time I got him back in his coop I was wide awake anyway and since dear hubby has a snoring issue I wouldn't have been able to go back to sleep anyway.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the big 'ol hound dog has a big 'ol tummy ache. I found a half eaten stuffed animal in his coop. I sure hope whatever it is passes before tonight!

Than to add to that both Zack and Anna were up during the night with bloody noses. Zack's first at 12am then Anna at 3:45am. We are completely out of toilet paper now and have resorted to napkins. Is that too much information?

I guess we weren't supposed to sleep last night. Poor Mark gets to go to work all day on very little sleep. I will be heading back to bed as soon as Libby gets on the bus. Hopefully Gunner will be catching up on his sleep also.

Smiles!
