What? You went back to work already?

What am I going to do with you?

Working only the hours I feel comfortable with. The show at the one girl office must go on. Longer I'm out, the bigger the mess...so I went in yesterday.

I'm doing OK. Getting driven to work by an 87 year old driver is an "experience."

Today my son took me and I got to listen to kiddie music, but I got to see my grandson.

Rick is checking to see if they can find a rental that I could reach little things like the pedals and gear shift. I can't reach the gear shift with mt left hand in the Jeep. I dislike depending on people for rides and asking favors. I feel like a little old lady who lost her license.

I'm thinking about heading over to the gym to see what I can do without getting my arm/cast sweaty. I normally would do 6 miles on the elliptical using the arm parts, too, but I can't grasp with my right hand and my arms get too sweaty even if I could. Don't want that happening with sutures underneath and this thing staying on for another 8 days. Maybe the treadmill?

... or I could stay here and work some more on my Spring Fling photos. Or, both.

I'd take the slow exercise if any at this point. I'm home now and it's nice out. I thought about going for a little walk, but I'll wait and ask the doc tomorrow at the post op visit.

Granny I just spent about 2 hours on editing my next batch of photos so I can upload them into the Spring Fling photo thread. May I please go to the gym when I've finished?

Go easy, Patricia, go easy. I've had very little discomfort for days but this afternoon I've got some. Hoping I did not try to do too much too soon. Someone around here was warning against that.

I've worn the sling as instructed, and hope I covered my A__ with that.
