Hi Lisa it's me Els. I am at my folks' house. So hence the annymouse. I am thrilled to hear you are home. I know you are being very brave about the pain but knock it off will ya? I am having a hard time living up to you and I didn't ahve surgery! Just kidding. I know you know you can bellyache anytime you want and we will understand. I have an evening class here Tuesday nights and so I usually stay overnight but as it turns out my Dad was nastily injured today at work and I am staying on here for a while. He is in the hospital. He cut his fingers badly with a Skil Saw.My Mom's health is not good so I am taking care of her and trying to do the school thing too. I think I will be getting a little behind don't you think? My Mom is pretty shaken up as is my Dad of course. They may have to amputate one of his fingers tomorrow if they decide against the tendon repair. Imagine; he is almost 81 and was retiring at the end of this month. I feel so bad for him. Don't be fooled by his age....he is so competent but something near him was sliding or something and I guess he was distracted...when you work with your hands though accidents happen . Anyway I am worried sick about blood clotting. He has been taking an aspirin a day and I hope that will do the trick. My hubby's uncle died of a pulmonary embolism after the same kind of accident so I am paranoid.

Anyway sorry Lisa..wanted to just welcome you back and wish you the best but I guess I needed to get rid of some of this stres too. Its tough being the grown up. Can't I just be a kid again? About 10 or so please?

Els aka Anny the Mouse.:+)
