      It was a beautiful day, Debby is so lovely. I was running on no sleep for almost 48 hours. We ate at Mystic pizza, and took a boat ride saw the draw bridge open and close. So beautiful. Debby is gracious and fun, and Jay was so kind to let us take the dingy out.

      This sounds awful. You don't know how much you need two hands until one is out of commission. Hoping it heals completely - and quickly! 

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      Is this  Dupuytren’s contracture?  Hope the therapy helps, and isn’t too painful.

    4. Florida granny

      What an amazing recovery :) and so pleased to hear he is coming home. 

  14. I talked to our son aka Humpty Dumpty this morning, they put him back together again.. He sat up and ate for the first time since Sunday morning. His surgery was over about 1 this morning. They had him up and walking with a walker but after about 4 feet he got rid of it and walked. He should make a great recovery. Thank you all for the support.

  15. Our son was badly injured  in was in a snowmobile accident in Canada on sunday. His friend brought him home ---12 hour drive- but he is  in massive back pain!!!! He was transferred to Hartford Hospital in CT. They will put rods and screws in his back as soon as they can(tomorrow) 

    He is not paralyzed  and should be fine. But I am beside myself with worry. I will be going back to CT as soon as DIL needs me....it's the mother thing!

  21. My crooked curling pinky is Dupuytren's disease, the treatment is very expensive injections of Xiaflex. Anyone have any experience with that or the disease? TIA

      I would also try alternative treatments first, just to see if it works. I hadn't heard of this condition until now, sounds really painful.

      I have a fused knuckle in my 4th finger of my right hand which needs a number of operations in my hand and in my wrist, followed by plastercast and several weeks of recovery. Marie said 'no' happy with my fused finger, I'm not in any pain. it's quite funny because I can't bend it and if I curl all my fingers into my fist that finger stays straight, do you get the picture :D seriously.

      I get the picture;  things like that are funny - but not.  ? I agree about surgery now; did the same thing with my foot.   Once a body part is enough unless absolutely necessary.

      My fingers are fast getting gnarled from arthritis which can be painful. I am seriously thinking of getting some hemp oil cream which is supposed to be very good.

  22. I updated the scorecard for the ATC's For more info go here.

    I am planning some new and exciting ATC challenges with a very different spin for the New Year. I hope you will join us. New ideas and new friends to make.

  23. Going out on the boat today...I hope to see dolphin and maybe swim with them again. Have a great day all.

      That sounds so fun!

  24. Well I hoped the day would never come but we have a young alligator in the pond. Waiting for them to come catch it to move it, kids and animals here. According to the originals around the pond it's been 10 years since one have been here.

      My dad had a pond behind his old house and they would remove the gator and another one or two would move in. You're lucky to have spotted him early and can get him moved while he's young. I hope your ducks are safe!

      There is one duck missing that we know about but he was a little handicapped so I'm not surprised.If not the gator it would be the eagles once they had young to feed.
