I hate for this to be a b*$#& session... But life has taken us on a wild ride.... Crazy but under control now. Joe recently fell and landed on his wrist and hurt it quite bad about two weeks ago. Ironically we were in the process of upgrading our disability insurance and had met with the insurance man three days prior...
Good news... He seems to be getting better(very slowly). He had two hand specialists look at it, three sets of x-rays and MRI's and possibly a third if it does not continue to have better improvement. He had a injection and had small relief.
Bad news if he has the arthroscopic surgery he will be out of the office 4-6 weeks. Not good...
Accident you might say.... NOOOOOO, He injured the wrist playing with my 9 year old son...
Roller hockey(not kidding) "A surgeon playing hockey on roller blades"...You said....
"with wrist guards" you ask... no, not this time....
Let's just say this has brought us closer.... very close(physically), he cannot drive, fill out paperwork (Dr's Forms)He needs daily wraps and help with everything... almost everything... Did I mention it's the Right hand...
Thank God for his two (doctor) brothers who have been helping him in surgery and for the fact that he has a planned seminar that will give him a pre planned week off! ie: rest... The rescheduling of patients and Thank God everyone has been so understanding.
Well enough said... I'm tired... mentally and physically....
Did I mention that I have a office staff off this week to since she has developed kidney stones???? Oh yea, that too.
Enough said! I almost feel sorry for me... (for a second)... life must go on... (it does feel good to write it out though) But when I read about what is going on in other's blogs... I know that I'm lucky and it can always be much worse.

Good news.... We did have snow... Yes, I said snow in CaveCreek and Carefree Arizona... The mountains are so beautiful covered in a blanket of snow. I do not remember ever seeing snow on the local mountains and how awesome a sight it is... I will post a picture soon. Promise.

I don't think I can offer any more comfort than did that blanket of snow, but I want you know that I have witnessed your expression of this difficult time.
AhA ... surgeon! Let's imagine than that this is a man who knows what to do with his hands too~ I say lots of bedroom therapy! Hehehehe Yup yup ... and this from almost a perfectly good smoocher! Gooo Lori!
Thanks for the note Lori. You always leave me smiling. As for computers, I'd still ask around. We've had good success with the Gateway at work, and Dell here at home. BUT, I would seriously recommend the longest warranty on whatever you get. This has saved me many times in the past. Usually, what happens if something breaks down somebody in India tells me he will ship a new piece too me ... this has happened with both monitors and speaker systems. I'll never short-cut this process again. AND, if you have the financial options ... I wish I could tell you how wonderful it is to have a 24" screen. I understand they come in 30" too. Just the most amazing thing. One of the other things I like about Dell is the degree they will let you customize your machine. And they are FAST~! I put in an order Saturday and everything was here by Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't beat that kind of service.
Good luck with whatever choice you make. Buying a new computer is right up there in excitement ... well, not as high as hand therapy, but pretty much right up there! You will be amazed at how much improvements are made each year! Hubbies are like that too, they keep improving every year! Gotta keep up with the patches though! :)
