OT - Hooray - cast is off

Oct 30, 2009 4 Replies

Headed out this morning to get my cast removed. Surgeon gave me a referral for physio to start next week. Hand looks fairly good although the fingers are still quite stiff (no surprise there). (Lots of scaly, flaky skin - perfect for Halloween) Doc told me to be careful since the hand is definitely not completely healed as yet.



Then after lunch I had an appointment with the local volunteer co-ordinating office (for both Hastings and Prince Edward County). I'm going to be working with the Archives and Collections Society

It's database entry using Excel - right up my alley, and only a ten minute walk from the house!Got home and spent a lovely hour planting bulbs -30 mixed daffs, Snowdrops (galanthus), mini-Iris (reticulata) and Winter Aconite. I still have about 10 daffs and a Foxtail (eranthus) to put into the beds at the back of the house, but I need to move some lilies first. So that will be tomorrow's job. The fact that I can type (and stitch) again with both hands is a bonus!

Great Marg, go on from strength to strength.

Huzzah. No cast, interesting work and garden and stitching time. Great day all around!

Not a great garden day here and I won't get a real chance to hit the garden until Monday.

I haven't been able to do much sewing until today because of some serious cramping issues in my hands and I know how much I missed being able to do that.

Isn't it nice to be able to get back to what we want to do.

Happy day, Marg! Just the best feeling having that cast come off, and then...getting rid of that itchy skin. Great that you can start physio next week.

Wow - you waste no time! I'm jealous that you got bulbs in. It's been raining pretty steadily here, so I'm hoping to be able to do it sometime during the week. We have to pull 2 dead tress - one small, one about 10',

5" caliper cryptomeria, so DH says I'm not supposed to do more planting until we decide with those... But I do have a flower bed that has been cut, just needs the weeds pulled and amending to be planted.

Glad you're getting to do some things you enjoy and healing well.
