Quick note while the gaurds are gone

Bob Hackett

>Got alittle surprise down in Boston.They did the arm and the front half of the shoulder both at the same time.I feel like I was the lead engine in a train wreck.SWMBO nearly blew a gasket when she caught me slipping my hand out of the end of the sling to type Todd O`s B`day post.I`m under strict orders to READ ONLY.

She went out shopping with my daughter for afew hours(she needs it after putting up with me these past few days).It`s taking me twice as long to type as now I can use only 1 finger.

Man am I bored,she locked the shop door and took the key with her.Did put a LARGE stack of WWing books by the bed before she left though.

Mainely,Bob

>Hey Bob,

I'm with you, I hate being unable to do stuff...I'm a terrible patient. Take it easy and heal well, you'll be back here in no time.

Did she leave the Lee Valley catalog in sight? If you can type you can dial the phone to place an order! Just tell her you have the LV number on speed dial!...Rob

>Hi Bob

Mental state has a great effect on healing, so just paw through those books (did someone mention CATALOGUES????) and dream of all the wonderful things you WILL build with all those new tools! Tell SWMBO that you don't want to shop but you have to , osteopath's orders!

>As one who has recently tried to type with a disable right hand, and who is contemplating the prospects of a similar left ulnar nerve release, I'm more than sympathetic, and definitely relate to the frustrations.

The time will likely pass quickly though, and the renewed abilities will feel great to have back.

>I hope that you heal quickly and without complications. I know exactly how you feel about not being able to do things. A few years ago, I had a deep melanoma removed from my left forearm. The Dr. sized me up faily well. She put the whole arm in a cast, with a hole for access for wound treatment.

>Hey Bob good to hear from ya'! Been thinking of you for the past few days. Haven't been on for the past few days. wife and I had a major blow-out and I've learned not be get on while in a foul mood.

Was the shoulder work a early christmas gift, or did he put it on the bill?

Now listen, I'm sure that doc gave you some good dope, so while out in La-La Land you'll most likely have some "multi-million dollar" ideas. do try to write them down as you won't remember them when you return to reality. DAMHIKT.

Haven't seen your B-day post to me yet, but I appreciate it.

Quick! Quick! Hit the post message button, I think I hear the screw coming back! ;~)

>Hope you have a speedy and successful recovery, Bob.

Don't let the guards guess that pushing and clicking that read-only mouse can be just as stressful as hunting and pecking on the keyboard. Take it easy. We'll still be here after you've recovered. In the meantimve, maybe SWMBO can take dictation?
