Well, after G's surgery and the insertion of three pins in her hand to facilitate healing of that broken thumb, it seems she will be grounded from many activities. No bicycle riding, writing, painting or ukelele playing is difficult to impossible. Even typing and texting is mostly a left handed thing,
This has altered our plans. Healing is estimated to require six weeks. However, now that she's on lighter pain meds she could probably drive a car. The stuff they gave her was described as a "narcotic." Definitely not safe to operate machinery when on such medicines.
The splints were replaced with a cast. This does provide better mobility for four fingers.
We hope to get back to sight seeing in the Roadtrek next week. To that end we've constructed a list of things we'd like to do in the area. However, because we need to be at the doctor's on the 20th and because of the need to be in the area until all casts are removed, we will not be trekking very far from this Home Base.
It could be worse. This is one nice place to convalesce. One of the neighborhood children summed it up, thusly:
As I write this it is sunny and the outside temperature is 75.4F, but Weather Underground says it feels like 76F!
This was the sunset two nights ago:
