It\’s Robot Fighting Time

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment

Our family loves BattleBots.    It\’s a show with fighting robots and it\’s so much fun. 

Last season the show was filmed in Las Vegas which is close enough for us.  So I\’ve had my eye out for tickets for the new season.  And lucky us, they filmed the 2018 season in Long Beach.    We got our tickets and invited the Conrath\’s to go with us. 

They were very strict about no pictures but I discreetly snapped a couple.  There are 2 commentators on the show and we are in the background of all of their shots so we will make it on TV. 

The arena where the battles take place.   We saw some pretty destructive battles with flames, sparks, fires, and metal flying everywhere. 

Here\’s the video for the new season.  We had so much fun at the filming of the show and can\’t wait to watch the new season. 

Fractured

After getting back from LA, we had a family swim Sunday night.  The pool was only about 85 degrees so my thin-blooded self worked my way towards the hot tub.  
But getting out of the pool I slipped and extended my left arm to catch my fall.  As I hit the side of the pool I heard a pop and felt tremendous pain in my wrist.  It didn\’t swell or bruise too bad so I decided no bones were broken.  But it hurt like a you-know-what.  
By Tuesday I decided to see my dr.  She examined my wrist and said it probably wasn\’t broken, but did x-rays, put on a wrist support, and sent me on my way. 

She called later and said the X-rays showed a fracture.  I was able to get an appointment with the orthopedic dr for that afternoon. 

In the meantime, I got Quinn from school and we went to the orthodontist. 

My xray.  The fracture is the horizontal white line right above the arrow on the bone.  You can also see that the bone buckled a little bit on the side with the piece pointing out.  

They sent me to the Cast Room where I had my choice of sleeve color and cast color.  And did I want glitter?  I was thrown off by all these choices but of course I settled on blue.  They change the cast every 2 weeks so I will be better prepared next time.  But this is my life for the next 6 weeks. 

Every Night

This is the new normal every night. 

ps….we are going mattress shopping this weekend so Quinn can pick out a nice soft mattress.  We will put a double bed in his room and take out the twin bed and the air mattress.  It will be interesting to see where these guys end up sleeping.  You can\’t see it, but Sonic\’s dog bed is at the foot of the air mattress.  Dog beds are for suckers.
