Actually the tetanus shot I had to get made my whole upper left side even sorer

than the original injury, LOL, but that will be short lived. The lack of

physical coordination that led to the accident is another matter <sigh.>

Bill, I am so sorry. You have mentioned this before but since obviously your

mind is as intact as ever - razor sharp in fact - I don't perceive you as a

stroke survivor and so I forget that you are fighting your own body as well. My

own woes are relatively recent and I'm having a hard time adjusting to what may

be the " new normal " for me. Sheesh there are plenty of things I still want to do

if this bod would let me. I've felt dismayed about it, but you have about 20

years on me and I can only hope to be as " present " in mind and attitude as you

are when I get there. I'm very glad that you illumine this list anyway I'll

try harder to buck up now <smile!>
