Parents Write

Okay, so it's been a few weeks since I posted...my brother would say, "What happened? I thought you got kidnapped by pygmies!"

Not quite so dramatic. I went to the doctor for the arthritis in my shoulder, and he told me it was a torn rotator cuff- the tendon attaching to my arm is hanging by a thread, and there are big jagged bone spurs stretching it taut. Well, they looked big to me, seeing as it's MY shoulder they're skulking about in...

Bottom line is, I'm learning to type without moving my arm, while I await surgery on the 24th.

Meanwhile, the editor sent us the first third of the "Grandparenting" manuscript, complete with her special comments, changes, and edits. Mind you, she's 3 weeks late in sending it, and there's 2/3 more to finish by the end of August. We're also trying to get the Scholarship CD finished (no minor chore for one as computer illiterate as I)- today I learned how to Hyperlink: a good thing, as we have over 600 links to put on the CD!

Got the new printer, learned how to print a design on a CD. Taught the dog to walk like a human. AND more big news- we decided to join the world of digital photography! Amazon will deliver our new toy maybe next week.

My daughter will be here Sunday night in anticipation of nursing me after my surgery. This is my greatest nightmare- Sara the Hun will someday hold the keys to my Nursing Home...
