Be a sweetie and stop by [livejournal.com profile] christev 's LJ to send her a note of well wishes.  Don't expect her to respond any time soon though.  The poor witch is typing one handed. 

She was caught by a nasty Tripping Jinx on stairs.  Her left wrist is broken and they were unable to give her Skelegrow.  They just gave her a massive cast.  Here's a shot of her getting tortured traction.

Oh noes!

That settles it. You two get extra special pastries this weekend.

*off to scribble note*

*caught between horror and ingenious use for those Chinese finger traps they used to give out at carnivals...*

This weekend. Those two words sound so great, don't they?

She said the traction didn't actually hurt. I say she was doped up and high on endorphens.

Speaking of this weekend... Cape is finished. I need to send you pics.

Scared a Senior Death Eater. That's got to be impressive.

Who in the world got her to consent to a photo of that? Bizarre. That gives credence to such modern medical tortures like maggots and leeches. Ewwwww!

I think she took it herself from her camera phone or something. There was she shared with me, but it included her face which I'm not certain she wants me to post.

And the weird device has something to do with where on her wrist she broke it. Supposedly she got herself a good one and in an unusual place.

Ohmigosh! Poor sweet baby. That definitely looks like a deranged torture device!

*nods* Yep. I've offered to make her a wand holster for her cast to cheer her up, but I can't imagine she's alright. She's only taking Advil! Advil!

The thumb is there, it's just placed in front of her index finger. But she posted another picture of the traction... and her finger was missing in that one too.

I'm getting suspicious.

1 - Stairs are evil.
2 - I want to know who ever looked at a fingertrap and told himself: "oh, that would be a nifty traction device!"
3 - Said traction device won't do her much good if she looses bloodflow in 4 fingers, and that's what it looks like.

Send my best to Christev!

It does, doesn't it? Horrid stuff.

Fortunately, her friend who drove her to the ER is an occupational therapist, so I think she will get better care.

Oh, poor thing! Definitely include lots of chocolate in that treatment plan!

*very carefully goes to walk laundry down the stairs*
