Thanks everyone for your get well wishes. The ER doc said I didn't need surgery. The funny part is, my left arm doesn't hurt, just can't straighten it, but my right shoulder is killing me!!

I'm right handed, but left moused, so besides the hunt and pecking, I'm having mouse difficulties!
Become totally ambidextrous, like many of us left-handers have to do. I can use a mouse, left or right handed, but prefer my mouse on the left, as a leftie. :) I just don't switch the buttons.

I learned to use my mouse left handed at work due to the workspace setup. That way I also could write with my right hand if necessary. I never switched the buttons either. I'm really having trouble with the hunt and peck. All of a sudden I can't spell using one hand.

Met with the orthopedic surgeon this morning. Got another xray taken. Great news - he said to remove the splint and start using my arm. If I want, use the splint when I sleep. He recommended using the sling for a while. I was really relieved - no cast!! He did bring me down when he said no bike riding for 3 - 4 weeks.

Marilynne....... if things seem to bog down with the doctors and specialists, my Leatherman has a bone-saw attachment. ::what::

Just have Hubby push you around in a shopping cart. Publix has plenty of them. :stung:

Chris wouldn't push me around, he'd probably attach a chain to the shopping cart and pull me behind his bike. I guess I'll have to start walking again.

Chris and his bicycle - no, that's not my bike. I figure I'll wait a week before I disobey the doctor's order of no riding for 3 - 4 weeks.

Yesterday morning I was in front of my house talking with a neighbor when we heard the Goodyear Blimp approaching. I ran inside for my camera. It was having some problems with the strong winds. It was advertising Goodyear Tires.

This palm warbler saw the camera and wanted his picture taken. He wasn't shy at all.
