Well after hobbling about and finally getting all the results back and the 2nd & 3rd opinions out of the way, it has been confirmed that I will need knee surgery. That major ouch is scheduled for January 8th. After which I will need several months of recovery and physical therapy. On the positive side I will be out of work focusing solely on my recovery. On the negative side, my carpel tunnel and and tendonitis in both wrists and elbows has returned, keeping me away from blogging. This will keep me more isolated that ever and will drive me absolutely nuts. I am a very active person, not a sit around, hang out and watch tv type person. So I will need your positive thoughts and prayers more than ever.
In the interim, if you all start off your New Year healthy it's a great start to your year. May it also be joyous and prosperous and full of funny blogging fodder!

Can you obtain dictation software similar to that
being used by Valor-IT???
Check with Fuzzybear Lioness at
fuzzilicious.blogspot.com she can point you to the
software that they are using for the wounded.
Good luck with your surgery
Make sure someone has written "WRONG" on your
wrong leg!!!

Posted by: Dazd at January 2, 2007 09:34 AMMy Dear Sweet Michele,
I'm only too sorry that I've been such a cad with you this past year. Thank you for accepting my gift (not that you could turn away my delivery) and for still communicating with me.
Know that I'll endeavor to earn your respect, admiration (and dare I hope for your affection?) through many noble deeds my dear. It's good that I'll have a captive audience in you!
Be well my dear and you'll hear from me soon.
Posted by: Colin at January 2, 2007 11:32 AMMy hope is for a Happier New Year for you. You so deserve it.
Thoughts and Prayers will be with you throughout your recovery.

Posted by: Harvey at January 5, 2007 10:17 AMI wanted to make a suggestion. Get Draggon Naturally Speaking software. It has a bit of a learning curve but you will have a little time, right? I often do my blogging while rarely touching the keyboard or mouse. I can TELL the computer what to do. Very cool. It has helped my daughter with her dyslexia too. Works so well that the school bought copies to help her and other kids with other problems do their work. Just a thought if you have a little time. Then you wouldn't have to give up blogging! :o)
