Color of the Day

Well, gang, the diagnosis is official. The wrist IS broken. I got a cast put on today and guess what color? ......... PUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPPPPPLLLLLEE!! We also decided that I was going to have surgery on the right hand in a few weeks (supposedly after the left has a chance to heal) and then do the left hand a few weeks after that.
