Time for an impromptu caption contest. It was an exciting weekend at Pam’s houseā¦
A broken arm and wrist — in like five places, the word “shattered” was used.
Ok, possibly too exciting of a weekend for Pam’s taste, but she is in good spirits and has decided that a caption contest will help aid her speedy recovery — laughter is the best medicine, right?
Here’s some material to work with:
- The injury was tiki decorating related. There was NO RUM involved, but Pam now is giving her barkcloth samples the evil eye. Other fun props in this adventure: Three colorful spaghetti globe lights — oh so sparkly underfoot as you fly past them overhead!
- The ER at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington, Mass. was fantastic. They keep their blankies in a blanket warmer. Pam says the doctor was particularly cute, but admits, that could be the Percocet talking.
- Pam is right handed and says, “Good luck surviving this, Kate, as you will have to do EVERYTHING for the blog for the next 6-8 weeks until the cast comes off. In the meantime, I will be taking this time to become a better person, starting with reviewing my own safety advice.””
Full story to come on Wednesday. Until then, let’s come up with some funny captions for this pathetic photo of Pam to help cheer her up. Winner gets a $25 gift card.
Ready, GO!
Richard says
“It is…TABU!” (from the Brady Bunch Hawaii special episode). Pam must have touched the Tabu Tiki. Alice. Greg. And now Pam. Get well Pam!
Paula says
What a tikidiculous thing to do!
Rick says
“I look like Helen Brown! Don’t you have something in a more fitting flying boomerang pattern?”.
(and those ’50s ‘bosu’ balls are DANGEROUS!)
Scott says
“I’m in pain and you put me in a room with WHITE tiles?”The nurses are supposed to be in white, the walls are supposed to be mint green. Do I have to do everything myself?”
Get Well Soon Pam!!!!!!!!!!!! š

Melissa Wilson says
“A Mai Tai just M-i-g-h-t Turn this Tiki frown upside down” …
Kit says
I can’t see where any mention of the need for surgery was required or not? Either way, amongst all of the fun in these postings, I did want to add my wishes for a quick recovery. So sorry for what you’ve been through, kidding aside, it must have been just awful!
pam kueber says

Kit a says
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that news! Surgery on top the fall and shattered bones is awful! Be sure to have your little tiki guy good luck charm with you! Actually, maybe not. Leave that nasty bugger at home.
NERIDA says
“Well at least I remembered to insist on a genuine retro 1960’s bandage !” Get well soon.. cheers Nerida
Michael says
If I had to get hurt, why couldn’t I have been hit by a Bentley?

Broken Arm during renovation: Tis only a flesh wound. WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can sympathize, I split my palm open (and got lots of SUPER COOL stitches!!) a few months ago during a renovation!!! Get well soon, Pam! IT. IS. WORTH. IT!!!! And, having a broken arm just means you will have a cooler story to your renovation while honing the skill on your non-dominant hand!! Just focus on the positives!
