  • Wow... People are amazing.  Two words to describe this week: deja vu.  Why don't I ever learn?


    Now on to better things.  On Monday I had to go to the O.T. to get a dynamic splint made for my hand.  I was supposed to have it made a month ago - but each time I went in the therapist put it off - I think she was too busy or wanted to go to lunch or something.  Then I was scheduled last Friday but had to cancel because my flight to California conflicted.  So.... But Monday she was determined to make that splint even if she missed lunch!  I think it had to do with the fact that I'm going back to the hand specialist on Thursday and she knows she was supposed to have made this splint like weeks ago.


    I have to admit I didn't know how much was involved in making a splint.  I thought it'd be an hour and a half or so.  I got to the clinic a little before 11 a.m. and didn't leave until just before 2 p.m.!  Three hours of pulling, bending, heating, cooling, gluing, stretching, and tying later:



    By the time they're finished bending my hand back into shape I'm afraid I'll have one of those Vatican waves.  :o


    In other good news this week, I've been doing a week of prayer at Bonnerdale.  It is so much fun to see the kids on the edge of their seats listening to Bible stories.  They're so anxious to get involved!  And they are so appreciative too, as you can by the "gifts" I've received:





    The demonstration of, in the biblical term, "unfeigned" affection makes me wonder if I missed my calling!


    Please pray for me tomorrow (Thursday) as I go back to the hand specialist.  I'm afraid I'll have to have surgery.  :(

  • is that still from when you were out here at YFJ or did you bust it again?  Why surgery?  -Tim

  • It's still from YFJ.  It has healed, but I don't have much range of motion.  :(   All the painful bending, taping, splinting.... so far hasn't been working.

  • oh no.  I'm sorry to hear that.  Will keep that in my prayers.  I personally think you look better on stage with a cast though.  Or at least a splint   It adds a special touch. hehe.  Will you have something on it at GYC?

  • LOL!!! You're too much!  No, I don't hope to have any such accessories in my wardrobe at GYC.  I'm not going to be up front anyway. :)

  • Nice having you out here in Loma Linda. Hope we didn't overwork your hand with all that wild gesturing you did during your seminar...

  • Will be praying that your hand will heal well.  For such a dexterous person, it must really get to you not to be able to use that hand very much.  Well, at least it was your left hand... :)

  • uh oh. Perhaps you should have found a non-lazy therapist weeks ago.

  • you can start waving like me! happy birthday
