Everything went well and back at home. When they took the growth out and cut it in half. They found a peice of wood about 3/8" long. The doctor figured it was some debris that didn't get washed out after the accident.
Maybe you could start a splinter group now Ray!;)
Hope it all heals well.

Before I go, I just want to dedicate this song to you all. Even though I am not on here all the time I always think about you all. I cannot sing to save my life and I live singing, but picture me doing that lipsync thing while the song is playing.


Enjoy. ?
Lovely song - thanks Carol and Nos Da - sleep well!

Just carry on taking it easy Cathie. I know of people who thought they were better and tried to get back to normal but it's come back and floored them again, so don't rush and overdo things.
I'm going to listen to that piece of advice if it's the last thing I do ?. Yesterday I couldn't stop and payed for it a bit today. It wasn't horrible I just could tell I really overdid it. It's weird how good you feel though after coming back and very hard to resist.

In addition to other crazy & whacky things I do, I have a few drones that we fly. Been toooo busy over the Summer, then there was kayaking..and the deck.....so, haven't flown in awhile.

Last few days have been perfect for flying. Calm, cool, not too busy. Pulled out the batteries....and charged all up. Had a few issues synching up our controller to the drone - tonight, tried again - a few more issues. But, we launched & it finally locked into a few satellites... it went way way way up high.... thought it was gone up in the clouds. High high and higher. I hit the “Return to Home” key and low & behold it came back. BUT - no pix or videos to share. BUT - nothing lost or damaged, so stay tuned. (Or stay warned).

I am interested in the Finches. Do they breed easily in captivity? I would love to find a pair and breed them for my pet store. They are pretty scarce here, but I do see them at Petsmart when I buy worms. They always seem to have 2 finches
If you ever do them you will fall in love. There is some really beautiful ones that are expensive but I like the plain old Zebra Finches. They breed like crazy. They are a really social bunch. They have many different vocalizations. Sometimes they sound like little laughing toys. When they are going to mate it's kinda like bells ringing from them chatting back and forth. The babys are even louder. I did them for their songs. All they really need from you is a very large clean cage, little bird basket nests, good food, a shallow bird bath, the usual. I had my own little flock. They are slowly getting on in years though and dying off. I've had most of them longer than my tortoise. Their life expectancy in the wild is 2 or 3 years. I'm not sure how old my remaining ones are maybe 12.

Hey, you can always text someone with a smart phone. Like for certain reasons like stupid me was shopping, lost my car keys in the grocery store, had left my phone in the locked car, couldn't call my husband, was going to have to walk home 5 or 6 miles away on a bumb leg & get the other keys, roamed the grocery store for an hour & a half & finally found them underneath the self-checkout station I used.

Rule #1. There are no pay phones out there anymore.

Rule #2. Don't leave your phone in your locked car unless you're with someone else with a cell phone

Rule #3. Put your car keys in your purse/pocket/Scotty's vest, etc. instead of wandering a store with them in your hands.
? Rule 4. When you get old and forgetful like me... I started putting a ring on my purse that I could clip my keys to. And then made myself remember to do it.

The calm before the storm:) makes for crappy driving weather and I’ve got places to be all week long.. Jess has a follow up with her surgeon in Houston tomorrow and I think they are truly going to be shocked at all the progress she has made. Yesterday at therapy, she was able to bend her forearm up, flip her hand from palm to back and flex her fingers.. All these things come so easy to us but for her, it’s an Olympic marathon.. we are so pleased though. It’s a hell of a long way from the original forecast !!!
Yeah!!!!!!?

Wow. Maybe that's been some of your phantom pain. Just a thought.

How is your little lad Heather?
He is ok!! Just common crud. We did a virtual Dr appointment and they agree that it’s not symptomatic of Covid... ( THANKFULLY) .. we got him so meds and he should be ok to return to school. He stayed home with Jess and I was able to get my hair done. I’ve had that appointment scheduled for over a month.. I’m pretty pleased with it! How’s your weather now?
