Thought I'd give ya'll a little update since I've gotten some PM's asking. I think I'm getting a little better every day. I have some pain off and on during the day, and at night, seems like it's always a little different each time. The pain pills make me rummy so now I just take an occasional tylenol. STILL HAVE TROUBLE DOING MUCh SINCE BOTH WRISTS ARE HURT, BUT THE RIGHT ONE IS OUT OF THE SPLINT AND I am able to do more (like type, but I forget to hit the caps lock the second time). I did lock myself in the bathroom the other night, the knob is round and I don't have the grip strength or rotational ability to turn the knob. Had to pound on the wall til my dtr. let me out. I am able to take care of that most intimate of hygiene tasks with some creativity, but I AM SURE TO follow the 3 s's in the prescribed order just to be sure. I'm gearing up for a brisket smoke this weekend and looking forward to that. Thanks again to all for the encouragement and good thoughts. I HOPE All of you have a safe, pleasant Memorial day with fond remembrace of yours that have passed. MP
