had to take cera to the emergency room
last night because she came home from school with her arm in a
sling...it would seem that she fell over backwards while playing sports
yesterday...but she's fine...they took an x-ray and there were no bones
broken, thankfully! i didn't actually think there were, but it's
better safe than sorry! and besides, now they have a new system of
doing x-rays at our hospital...they're all done digitally instead of on
film....so it was pretty cool to see! i think that you can see the
details on them a lot better than you can on the old film types, plus
you can zoom in on areas....this will certainly cut costs for
hospitals, i'm sure...now that they don't have to buy expensive
films! the funny thing was, while we were sitting in the
childrens ER, there were no less than 12 or 13 other children all with
their arm in a sling...and all but one of them were the left arm like
cera's.....you see, this week all the schools are having "health week"
and they are encouraging the kids to eat healthy and take on extra
exercise...so all the schools have been doing loads of sports this
week......and it's apparant that most of these kids (cera included)
just aren't used to playing them...so i'm sure the ER will be busy all
week! I was going to post a new image that i did recently, but
then since i was talking about x-rays, i think i'll post a different
one than the one i had originally planned on posting....i'll post
that one later....so without further ado, i present:

Hahaha, the irony of the health week! X)
Cool picture.
Yikes - I'm glad she's okay! I love that shot, it made me laugh
But on a more serious level, I actually kinda like the whole religious overtones of it, which is strange coming from me! But the fish was a representation of Christianity before they cuckolded paganism and stole its relics and symbolism and holidays, etc, so in this I see a sort of true religion - something older than the propaganda-based fishwives' tales that a lot of modern churches have become. It's kind of beautiful in my strange little mind 
Tell Cera not to break stuff, it's bad for her
(I have those four Placebo albums lined up one after another - Without You I'm Nothing, Black Market Music, Sleeping With Ghosts and Meds - on my iTunes at work, and the last few days I've just had it cranked so I didn't have to listen to my colleagues. B L I S S. Brian Molko's got the most ridiculously sexually charged voice, hasn't he?)
Good to hear she is fine. And your art.. makes me feel ashamed of the pictures i post... Take care, dear!
Haha, that's kinda funny, all those kids with broken limbs. I love that pic. I love x-rays too. They always look cool, no matter what they're of.
that would make a funny image though- kids lining the emergency room. or am i just sadistic like that? truly? it would be a throw back to my childhood, when didn't we have scrapes on our knees growing up! glad to hear she's doing well, and so are you!
We had five children, four boys and one girl, but there was never a broken bone in all the years they lived at home. Amazing, considering the sports they played. I know cera will be fine.
Re: the photo. I think a caption contest is in order. My offering for that is "What did YOU have for lunch?" but I like yours too. Clever. You should do series of xray photos to put in physicians' offices.
Oh my word - I can't believe they made her do that! Poor little thing!
I'm glad that she's doing okay.
It must be scary to have to take your own child to the ER. *hugs* I hope that you are feeling better, too! And if I were more awake in my brain, I'd type more. I hope that you all are feeling better and that you have a fabulous weekend.

Love you 'V' ... and if I become that crazy old baglady living by candlelight, be assured one of them burns for your well being {*_*}
There's something fishy about that heart! ( insert sound of laugh track)
