Which is worse?

Broken ribs or broken camera? Yeah I have both. So let me start at the beginning...

The day before William and I left for Las Cruces we went for our last ride together up the mountain behind our house. We got up there and it was the most beautiful day. I was so glad we made the time to go. I took my camera to take a few pictures of the view of the whole valley. Got some great pictures. Problem is they are stuck on my card until I can get them onto a disc. We were riding down the mountain a little fast so William could get back to work (he was taking a long lunch break.) Well as I am coming down over the rocks I started sliding forward on the bike... Ok, I am going to spare you the whole story of what happened and spare myself from typing it right now. I rolled the quad over myself and cracked a rib. No xrays so the doctor is just speculating and not wanting to adjust them until they feel a lot better. I also nearly dislocated my elbow of my left arm. The rib was on the right so both sides are in pain since I also have an enormous hematoma on my left hip and upper thigh. That means a giant bloody bruise. Anyway that thing is about 8 inches long and gross as can be. So I went to the chiropractor within an hour of the incident and the doctor set my elbow. YIKES!!! PAINFUL, I do dare to say almost as bad as child birth. The ribs I now think might only be bruised since it has only been one week and I feel much better there. I still have to hold my ribs to cough or sneeze but at least I can lift my kids ok which the first few days my doctor told me no way. On Wednesday evening I was getting up off the floor with Liberty in my arms and I twisted my elbow out again. Not all the way out so I can still function but the pain is constantly getting worse. I might need to find a doctor tomorrow to fix me up since I am in AZ until Sunday watching Shanna's kids so she could be in Mississippi for Kacie's baptism. Or maybe I just need to remember to take the ibuprofen the doctor told me to stay on until he sees me on Tuesday. I was fortunate to have a husband still around to take care of me. He was supposed to drive the van through Northern NM and meet me at his parents after I drove through Arizona to drop my kids off at Shanna's house for the week. Well the doc didn't want me to drive. He was afraid of me being unsupervised and having internal bleeding or something. Or breaking the cracked rib all the way through and puncturing the intestines. So William drove with me instead and is driving me all the way home. What a sweet man. He has to turn right around after taking me home and drive back to Las Cruces to meet his partners to get his business going. UGH! I put him behind a whole week. DANG! Ok well I better stop typing now until I take some pain meds. I will be back to update about our home searching.

Oh so the whole title pf my post led to me telling you I broke my camera when the quad rolled over me. YEAH this is the point where everyone should GASP! My Rebel XT. I think I would rather have all my ribs cracked than my camera. It is going to cost me $250 to get it repaired and 6 to 8 weeks. That is as long as the doc said it takes ribs to heal. Problem is I don't know where I am going to live in 6 to 8 weeks so I can't send it out for repair. How could I live without a camera for that long. So I went and bought one at Walmart the day we left. Hehe! I will post a picture of it later!
