Check in time

Before we went off on our latest jog cross the West and up into Alberta and Just inside the border of British Columbia (Didn't even buy a postcard there ), I was following the latest on: Debbi: how's your dad? and are you shed of your roommates'? And have you sold your house? PLEASE don't rent it out--our neighbor had a nightmare with his--now he has others in there--same problem : ( Rhoda: How's the book doing? Are you still doing the 'star" quilts for our soldiers? Polly: how are MY gators? Sunny: What worked for your shaky hands? I would really like to know..it may help me, also Pat W: Did you play your Fife and Drums for Miz Gingers' HB? John: Is your latest woodwork project finished? kiri: How's the wrist? jeanne: What colors did you paint that pole? And the rest of you FILL ME IN

I don't have time to read or re-read 7777 messages that go all the way back to 5/1/08.. DS can't figure out WHY it's doing this..yet....other than lightening ruined our Phone, TV, Cable line whilst we were gone. It had to be replaced. Sure glad he was home and nuttin else was 'ruined'

Kiri has her external fixator off, the cast that followed it off, and only has to wear the brace that followed that occasionally. All the metal inside, outside, and in between has been removed. The wrist is not very strong nor very flexible, plus the index finger and middle finger on that hand seem to be rather limited in motion. She is supposed to get PT, someday when they finish the paperwork. Since this is NY and she has an HMO through medicaid, there is a LOT of paperwork.

She also has scar dots from where the fixator was screwed into her arm, and an X from where they put the screws to hold the bone in and then took them out.

Since her typing speed is shot as a result (prior to damage she was topping 120 wpm), she is trying to figure out what kind of job she could possibly apply for. Or if she should wait and see if the doctor and the PT person think she will get some or most of her speed back.
