Ok, it looks as though dad's e-mail account is closed. Citizens Ann, Rose, and Kevin have signed on; mom has not. Once she signs up, I'll make the postings visible only to us. And anyone with a valid interest who asks. Someone [dad] should get Bill a computer for his birthday. The last shopping trip was a success. The Amy's vegetable lasagna, pesto rotini, and enchiladas went quickly. As did most of the Nouriche, and the Cliff bars. We now need more of that, plus some decent multi-grain bre...

As the pain in myshoulder diminishes, I am noticing other, less bothersome ones. Likethe spasm in my back when Ipick up a grain bucket, the tension in my ribs when I inhale, and the disgust in my gustatory tract when I think about politics. (You may have tohave the fonts: impact, alien league, and Tom's Headache, installed,to get the full visual effect here.) Other blogs at thistime are churning out mini-, midi-, and even maxi-essays on thetopics endemic to new-y...

It wouldn't be safe todrive, plus, it makes me kind of dumb. The odd thing is, I don'tfeel impaired at all. I know I am though: I have troub...

Well, I'm feeling ok, but itchy and hurt some. The worst part is that it's boring to be so limited, especially since it takes longer to do anything. Yvonne id feeling a bit better; she seems to have more energy, and is eating a liuttle bit. Later today, I'll try going out. this will help me determine how feasible it might be to start back at work. Isuspct that half the day will be ok. I doubt I could do a full day. On Mondays, I usually work until 7PM. That definitely won't do.

I saw my family doctor today. He showed me the orthopedic texbook he read to find out what he should do. Basically, the treatment is to use an immobilizing sling for two weeks, then a regular sling for 2 weeks, then physical therapy. That's all there uis to it. Still hurts, though. Yvonne has to get another chest x-ray on Friday. She still gets short of breath easily, so she needs assistance just to walk across the room. I'm not sure how we're going to get her to Radiology, because moving ...

This is the Joe and Yvonne recovery board. Yesterday, our horses got spooked by something. They took off at a full gallop, and we both fell off. Igot a broken arm. It's the right-side humerus. There are two cracks in the head; neither intersects the joint space. Yvonne got two broken ribs, a pneumotharox, and contusions to kindey and spleen. At this point, there isn't much risk of complications. Everyone has been woderulyy helpful. Thanks to you all. I'm not going to write a...
