WELL I GUESS I'LL START AT THE BEGINNING OR WHERE I LEFT OFF. THE HAND....I SAW MY HAND SURGEON AND IT WAS NOT JUST A SPRAIN. WHEN I JAMMED THE FINGER IT COMPRESSED THE BONE IN THE MIDDLE FINGER JOINT AND DAMAGED THE TENDONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FINGER. SO I HAVE TO WRAP IT DAILY SO I CAN'T BEND IT AND BUDDY WRAP IT TO THE MIDDLE FINGER WHEN I'M NOT WORKING SO I REALLY DON'T MOVE IT TO LET THE TENDONS HEAL, HE SAID THAT COULD TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS. AS FOR THE JOINT HE MAY END UP FUSING IT TOGETHER IF THE BURNING DOESN'T STOP. I WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR THE MOST PART BUT IT JUST WON'T BEND AT THE MIDDLE JOINT. SO FAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BURNING SENSATION IT SEEMS TO BE GETTNG BETTER.

AFTER ALL THAT IN MID JULY MY MOM HAD CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN TRANSFERED TO A NURSING HOME. AT FIRST I HOPED SHE WOULD JUST BE THERE FOR REHAB TO GET STRONGER BUT SHE SEEMS TO BE AFRAID TO GO HOME ALONE, AFRAID SHE MIGHT FALL OR SOMETHING I'M NOT SURE WHAT BUT SHE HAS MADE SOME FRIENDS THESE PAST TWO WEEKS AND IS GETTING STRONGER AND SAYS SHE WOULD LIKE TO STAY THERE LONG TERM. AFTER TAKING CARE OF HER SINCE SHE HAD A MAJOR STROKE NEARLY 22 YEARS AGO, I THINK IT IS HARDER FOR ME TO LEAVE HER THERE THAN FOR HER TO DECIDE TO STAY. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS BEEN BACK ON HER OWN FOR ABOUT 10 YRS. SHE WAS STILL ONLY A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY BUT IF THIS IS WHAT SHE WANTS AND SHE IS HAPPY (WHICH SHE SEEMS TO BE) I'LL BE HAPPY FOR HER. BESIDES I STILL GET TO DO HER LAUNDRY!  SO WE WILL SEE HER ABOUT THE SAME AS WE DID MAYBE MORE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER BEING SAFE. THE HOME IS ABOUT 15 MILES INTO THE BIG CITY BUT NOT THAT FAR WHEN I STOP ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DURING THE WEEK, AND I CAN TAKE LIL' BRUDDER TO VISIT AND MAYBE DAKOTA IF HE IS BEHAVING WELL, PHOENIX IS TOO ANTISOCIAL SO SHE WILL HAVE TO STAY HOME.  SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO ALONG WITH HANGING OUT WITH THE BIG DOGS THIS SUMMER. OH I DO HAVE A STORY ABOUT THAT INFAMOUS FENCE WE PUT UP BUT I'LL SAVE THAT FOR NEXT TIME. THAT IS A POST ALL IT'S OWN. I'LL TRY NOT TO STAY AWAY SO LONG NOW THAT THINGS ARE CALMING DOWN AND GETTING BACK TO WHAT I CALL NORMAL  HOPE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN ENJOYING YOUR SUMMER AND CONTINUE TO WITH WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT!  ENJOY!!

Hi Danger girl. I just came by to see how things were down your end. So sorry to hear you have been through the mill somewhat but glad to know your fingers are getting better.
As for your Mom.......you seem to have been her angel all these years..bless you! Maybe your Mom is right and you have to let her decide on the rest of her life. Seems like she's enjoying the company where she is.

Hi Danger girl, I was blog hopping from lucky star's blog. I am glad to hear about your mom and I envy you because atleast you can get to take care of her. My mom is in the Philippines and if something happens to her (God forbid) I would be able to do anything but pray. Take care and things will get better.
By the way, can we exchange links? I would love to visit again.
