"Fractured Art..."

Yep! That's my hand indeed...

In a split second...on a gorgeous Arizona day...I was on the ground...

right there on the asphalt

in the Super Target parking lot on Lake Pleasant Road.

Dang! I had no idea one could trip on sunshine!

Geesch!

My left hand caught the trauma of the event

and swelled up immediately.

After cleaning out the abrasion and getting ice to reduce the swelling

we headed straight for the ER.

The rest is journaled above...the sketches done while waiting

and the info added later at home.

From start to finish this escapade took 4 hours plus...

not my idea of a fun sketch crawl!

And...as I write this post...yes...it hurts...

local pharmacies were closed by the time I was released...

so I hope Tylenol arthritis does the trick

until we can get the "good stuff".
