Purple Arm

It's interesting, the contortions that Fio has to go through to sit up in bed now that she's down to one usable arm. And she'll admit she had to call for Husband's help to get her out of the bathtub when her one-arm lift didn't work. And it's hard for Fio to sleep when her arm, now purple from armpit to wrist, is sensitive to bedsheets and pillows. On the other hand, it could have been both arms. *

Medical Update

Oops--slight correction. It will take a whole week for Sonia to heal from the platelet injection, which means Fio will be sleeping on the couch in the den for a while longer--or maybe she'll be sleeping on the floor and Fio will sleep on the couch. But the discomfort will be worth it if Sonia will be able to walk up and down the stairs again.

Preference

Fio is a sucker for those Facebook quizzes, although she opts out when all the choices are unknown to her or repugnant.  And, of course, she likes the ones that compare her to people such Elizabeth I and Wonder Woman, or identify her as sage or charming or well-balanced. But some of the other quizzes run deeper, and Fio has noticed a pattern in her answers indicating that she is uncomfortable in large groups unless she's the center of attention or in control of the situation.

And she's been known to duck out on a social situation entirely if no one is compatible.
