Thank you also. Good to know whats going on again. Was disconnected from the outside world it seems for sometime. Just reading and hearing from you and others makes me feel like I am not alone again. many things are more possible just knowing that the wonderful and understanding people here are.

How have you been doing Elephant? Very well I hope.

Happy Holidays!!!! I am home and ok. had left hand surgery 2 remove swollen bone and white cell masses. So far so good. The dressing managed to work its way off partial the first night so had the gp redo the dressing. Resting at home. soreness is getting stronger but I am also kinda using it once in a while. it is wrapped up in a soft dressing til next week than a splint most likely after swelling goes down. Trying to keep the kidneystones at bay. They remind me that there there.
Just happy to be home. pulse ox is a problem when coming out of anist. but we got it up by moving around and talking. So I got sprung from hospital in philly. Hope everyone is doing well and we are hospital free for the holidays.

Happy New Year!!!!! Hands doing great. My car on the otherhand I am afraid played chicken with a telephone poll and lost for the most part. I dropped a key picked it up and cut the wheel as hard to the left as I coulds with with the spilt second I had. Saved myself from a head on but still shaky. The EMTS checked me out no cuts or bad hits. Promissed to go to to the ER if the I had problems. Rested the rest of the day. Made all the calls . So from what I have heard the next day is the worst and will findout if anything is not right. Side airbags opened but not front. So I got hit to the side abit while I was wearing my new glasses which are fine. Afraid the car is totaled. Bummer nicest car I ever owed or probably will. I know a car can be replaced and am blessed to have made that left turn or my family and children would be without me. Hard to believe after so many years and witnessing accidents by the hundreds on the same road and so many polls down and replaced over the years that its happened to me. My oldest son was home and rode his bike in 30 degrees because I couldnt get my husband or find him. He eventually drove by and stopped to help empty out my car. Got me home and havent left te house yet. Missed 2 doc appts. today. oh well can start again in the am.
