Late night, Ceiling fans & Helium balloons

As my title states late night, ceiling fans and helium balloons are not a good combination. If you double click on the picture you will see the remnants of curling ribbon left from a Get Well helium balloon.

Last night, shortly after 11:00 p.m. I was awoken from my snooze on the couch by dogs barking and popping noises. I admit I was startled, jumped, and jammed my thumb on my left arm. Oh was there pain, instant pain, my left arm is the one that is really broke and my thumb was dislocated. ( What I mean by really broke is, the bones had to be placed back where they belong and it is the arm that was in question of surgery. My right arm has a hair line fracture on the ulna. Both arms are broken on the ulna, the left just more severely.)

To continue with the story, I hadn't figured out what happened yet, I was scared with the dogs going crazy, hearing the popping noises and then another strange sort of noise, really can't describe the noise. Well I immediately ran upstairs and woke up hubby, he wasn't to pleased to be awoken so abruptly, which I don't think I would have enjoyed either. He came down stairs and found the balloon wrapped up in the ceiling fan making the weird indescribable noise. He cut it out and we disposed of the balloon. We went back to bed, I had to take more pain meds. ( I am trying to wean myself off of those things). I was in bed for only about 5 minutes and the popping began again, dogs going crazy, scratching at bedroom door. I figured it out, some idiot in the neighborhood was setting off fireworks. I had to sit up with the dogs for about an hour, until all settled down, then went back to bed. I will most likely be on meds all day today, my wrist is really throbbing. Everything moves as it should so I just moved things to quickly and aggravated the healing process. Oh well what's one more day of pain?
