So Andy, how was your first night at home? I hope you had the good sense to take a pain pill before you settled down for the night. Nuture that arm and doo what the doctor ordered.

I'm being a good boy and doing exactly what the doctor told me to do. As you can see I'm writing this response about 4:30 in the morning because I have been sitting up and sleeping on the sofa as that's the recommended way.
I've been taking Percocet since about 6 o'clock last night that seems to be taking the edge off the pain.
You will notice that in a couple of days, the pain will be starting to lessen a little more each day. Just don't try to become Mr. Macho and let up on the pain meds. Take them as prescribed for the first week. You don't want to let the pain get a hold on you. Then it will be harder to get back under control. For some strange reason, laying down flat seems to increase the pain level. And at night the pain seems to increase. The night pain has to do with atmospheric pressure. I don't quite understand it.

Howdy do, Babe. I was just wondering what sort of crafty things you might be doing to keep your hands busy -- knitting? tatting? sewing? maybe just "gathering steam" and ideas for your next project...
Enquiring minds (aka nosy folks) are all ears.

one more pile for the vietnam vets. is in the works.
trying to figure a way to come up with co-pay for eye surgery. problem is pills make it hard for me to stay focused for very long. thanks for your concern.
So glad to hear you're doing better Babe...
I'll be MIA for a while.
We are flying to Boston tomorrow to join a tour group called "New England Fall Foliage by Rail". featuring four daylight trains and staying in local hotels throughout NE at night. I'm really looking forward to seeing pretty fall colors as the only sign of Fall here is the occasional dried up palm frond flying through the air with the notorious Santa Ana winds that show up this time of year.
I was last in New England just two weeks after 9/11 and it was sure a scary time to be flying.
Hold down the fort friends (say that three times fast) and happy cooking!
