Friday was a day to relax and stare at my heavily bandaged middle finger and begin to learn how many things I will not be able to do for a while with my left hand, and specifically, my left middle finger. I can't, or shouldn't, ride a bike as I can't apply the left brake, or grip the handlebars with two hands......I can't tie my shoes.....I can't sweep......I can't do much work on the office computers.....it takes me 5 times longer type this blog.....I have a very difficult time washing my hands and taking a shower.......anything that involves the simultaneous use of both hands is now much more difficult, if not impossible in some cases.......those are just the things that come immediately to mind.....I'm sure when I go to work Saturday I will become aware of a lot more things I cannot do, or will have difficulty doing.
I can, however, still dump the black tank.....I can use my cell phone.....I can use the remote control.....I can text.....I can operate the anti-gravity lounge chair.....I can drink a beer....I can be thankful it wasn't worse than it was, right? On the other hand my left knee is feeling fine once again.
Friday was not a work day, but after Friday we may be working 10 straight days as this next weekend (begins Thursday) is the 4th of July weekend when "all hands are on deck". Friday was also the first day of the quarter finals in the Women's World Cup.....France and Germany were up first and played a thrilling game that was tied 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes and was still tied 1-1 after two 15 minute overtimes....Germany won in 'Kicks from the Mark' 5-4 to advance to the semi final round. The USA thoroughly dominated China from beginning to end, but only managed to put the ball in the back of the net once in 90 minutes. The USA will play Germany next Tuesday....Germany is #1 in the world, and the USA is #2....should be a good match.
The weather in SLT continues to be warm and clear.....mid to high 80's for as far as the weather eye can see.....we have not, however, had to run our AC once, and it is very nice sleeping with all the windows open at night.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sure do feel for you. Broke my right hand (yes right handed) and the list of what I could not do and had to learn to do with my left hand was huge. Had to learn to sign my name for writing checks with left...oh, the list was long. Good luck...and that trip around the lake will still be there.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave!
ReplyDeleteGlad the injury wasn't worse. What a pain for awhile. Hope you find good work arounds. This is such a beautiful time at the Lake. We try to get back home to Tahoe every year - but not sure it will happen this year. Hope you heal quickly.
