Week one gone

 What a week. This time last Monday I was having surgery on my hand. I must say that all went well...came home not feeling too out of sorts. Murphy was happy to see me but a little curious of the bandaged hand. I was told to slowly begin to use my hand and fingers...once the swelling subsided. Finally mid week the fingers could move but the ring and pinky were still numb. Finally feeling returned to all fingers.

Yes, it is exactly what it looks like...a badly and sore knee. Yes, it is what you are thinking. On day 2...Tuesday morning I let Murphy out and followed him to the garden. I noticed that the winds had blown lots of leaves into the lanai which Murphy happily dragged in on his mustache and beard. You do know where this is going don't you.... I saw the leaf blower and thought...never mind...right. As I walked back to the lanai with Murphy right there behind me, I stumbled. Guess my head was more cloudy that I thought. there I sat unable to get myself up. What to do? Yell and yell loudly for Lisa to come and help. the look on her face and hands on hips let me know this was not good. Finally got me up and inside. I decided to go back and relax on my bed. Of course I had to tell Alan that night as there were band-aids on my knee and elbow...oh yes, elbow scraped too. He did not yell. Later he came into my room to "discuss" what I can and cannot do. 

I have been behaving....really I have. I am able to use my hand more but must remember not to lift or grip....pain will occur!! One more week then the stitches will be removed. I peeked under the bandage...it is loose since all the swelling went down. It looks messy. Really, did you think this was going to be incident free?

Thanks for you caring thoughts and comments and for your friendship. Peck typing is hard!👆
