Hello....where have I been and what am I doing? Well, good news is that I have been discharged by the surgeon. I am still healing but everything is looking but more importantly feeling good. I will continue therapy on my own.
The middle finger where the Dupuytren's Contracture was had more damage than the doctor anticipated. One of the tendons was very mangled and had to be removed. The finger will not bend any further nor straighten completely at this time. The important thing....no pain as before.
I have been back to the craft table working on gifts. Howeever, the past days it has become
wrapping and packing to ship center! Murphy is checking it daily to see if he can have a box! He raids the scraps proudly. Our gifts will once again not be under the tree for obvious reasons....
We had a coyote encounter...almost yesterday. It was 10:45am and we were taking a walk. I try to notice all around me when I am out and so it was that there was a big black pickup up the street on the wrong side of the road and not parked. All of a sudden the truck began to move at an angle straight for us but stopped along side. I had my hand on my pepper spray just in case when he warned me of a coyote coming our way.
Sure enough the large coyote crossed to our side of the street a little way ahead of us. Murphy of course began to call him
bark so as the coyote began to walk our way I picked up Murphy dropping the leash to drag behind us....and tried to hurry home... not too far to go.... finally put him down and lo and behold, the poop bag container had opened and all the poop bags were trailing out following us! I must say, if it had not been for the truck driver things might have gone differently. He remained rolling along the sidewalk until we got home. Murphy was a bit confused about this quick walk but a cookie settled him down. Never a dull moment.That about catches us up. Glad you stopped by today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

You where lucky, coyote would have had Murphy. Glad you had help.
glad your hand is better. I am doing better too. Had dye tests and ultrasound done on my heart Monday. It seems my heart dose not know how to rest between pumping in and out just keeps going. I how wear a Nitro patch daily to help my heart. I do feel better too. Take care and big hugs to you all. Lynda Ruth
Gracie: wow a coyote, you were so Blessed to have that truck there I would have been worried at first myself, knowing he was coming toward me, not knowing if he was going to kidnap or do something bad, he was a Blessing.

Glad that your hand is healing now. Also very happy you both survived your coyote encounter!
We definitely have more coyotes in the greenbelt that runs through our community this year. They run past us frequently when we're out for a walk, glancing our way but never stopping. Glad you and Murphy had a guardian angel in the form of a truck looking out for you. Great healing on your hand!
I'm glad to hear your hand is doing fine, and you did not get too close to that coyote!
