Oweees

Wendell had a total knee replacement earlier this week.  His surgeon was Dr. Paul Norio Morton who used some kind of robotic thing to do the surgery.  Wendell is recovering nicely, and he even drove a short distance yesterday.

This is my owee.  I slammed my thumb in my car door while rushing.  I need this thumb to make pinch pots in ceramics class.  Old people shouldn't rush.

Robot Doc! I remember his commercials on KIKU. Glad Wendell’s knee is healing nicely. Ouch! On your thumb. Yes, I am learning that as I age, no can rush, cause it causes more stress. You either going forget something or hurt yourself. LOL Praying it’ll heal quickly.

Ouch! Rushing is not good. I keep dropping things onto the 2nd toes of both feet. At least my toe bruises match. Maybe a Golden kiss from fluffy Kai will help! Linda in Kansas

You and Wendell have earned Purple Hearts.
I had total shoulder replacement almost 2 years. The first month was tough. Now Wendell is part bionic.

poor Wendell. Poor thumb. did the thumb thing too!
I was pulling a clump of weeds around a rose bush and had grabbed a rose branch. The thorn ripped a deep cut in my finger and I really should have gotten it stitched but was leaving for Japan and last minute stuff for the contractors finally coming to do my renovation. Fortunately it wasn't on a joint or where I would keep hitting it so I just packed lots of bandaids and neosporin and gloves to keep my hand dry, just couldn't wear a ring.
