The luncheon I had in honor of Jerry's one year passing was wonderful. Just 4 friends with a lot in common and we shared and smiled and laughed. No somber thoughts. Three days later I developed a pinched nerve in my left hand. It hurt so much I cried; it affected my ring finger and middle finger which are connected by the same ligaments and nerves. I went to the doctor and he ordered a wrist splint for me which went around my thumb and had a metal brace inside the split which kept the nerves straight. This, once again, put my work-out on hold for 10 days. I started again on Monday and now have a cold. I am still walking upright with my walker and haven't lost too much strength. I know I'll be okay next week, God willing. I got a couple Thanksgiving cards off to distance siblings. I wish I was there but even if the move would be too hard, the weather in MI and IN wouldn't be my choice. We talk evey week on the phone and I get to see my brother and his family on occasion. My brother was going to bring my new great-nephew over, but now with the cold, I'm said NO NO. I'm going to add another blog from a card I got. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, especially the new people. I'm six years and "going somewhat strong". I will NOT give up.
