My Pagan Purple Heart
I’m afraid that unless I find a voice-dictation solution soon, posts to this site are going to slow for awhile.
I was helping to set up the ritual fire circle at Ignite last Thursday, and I fell from the back of a large pickup truck, belly-flopping onto the road with my left arm underneath me.
It swelled instantly, but we (the onsite nurse and I) concluded it was a bad sprain, wrapped it, and I started a regimen of icing and NSAIDs. The pain was pretty serious, but manageable, and I went on to have powerful, beautiful experiences at the three all-night fire circles that followed.
On Monday, after my return, I went to urgent care.
Turns out, I have a bad break of my radius, and I will need surgery. I have been referred to a hand specialist.
I’m not sorry I stayed at Ignite. I really needed the love and transformation to be found in the fire circle and its community. But now, I have to contend with the aftermath, and part of that is that my writing is reduced to one-handed hunt-and-peck. It’s slow, and tiring.
I’ll be back up to speed as quickly as I can.

Dragon Speaking works ok, once you get used to it. I always kept forgetting to say “comma” and “period.”
Thank you!
Well, drat! That’s too bad. I’m sorry you are injured. Hope the surgery goes well and that your pain resolves quickly ❤️
Thanks!
I love that you stayed — my Ignite, as every time I see you, is always so brightened by your presence. Purple Pentacle as well as Purple Heart! Having hust come out of a cast myself I can commiserate. Endless blessings to you dear Dragon! Also “Dragon Naturally Speaking”… tee hee, Dragon using Dragon! 😎🔥♥️🔥
I too was going to say that (ironically in name) the Dragon software, once time is spent setting it up, worked very well for me when I had to dictate documents for court. Best of luck!
Bravo. Focus on healing, and all manner of things shall be well. 💜💜
OUCH! Hope it is better by now!
Nope! I have surgery on Tuesday to set the bone, and then the healing time. Grateful for modern medicine!
Aw, I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you mend up soon! If you get a chance, would love for you to come by my blog 🙂
I will check it out!
