Front closing bras are almost as problematic as the standard.

BTW, I just typed a short email 2-handed & am now back to 1-handedness. (I was commiserating with a young friend who was kicked by a horse & broke her ulna -- & her boss started losing patience with her after 3 weeks & couldn't understand why it took so long to get a horse saddled & bridled -- not to mention schlepping hay bales w/1 arm.

I'm SOOOOOO lucky to be able to rest (& work through my therapy exercises) & have Tom wait on me hand & foot.

Last night, for no discernable reason, I was entirely unable to fall asleep. That's only happened twice before in my life (usual trick is to fall asleep fine, then wake at 3 a.m. and not be able to get back to sleep) -- once in 1970 and once on a Saturday night sometime in the '90s. So I spent last night either lying there with my eyes closed, thoughts bouncing all over the place despite pain pill, or half benadryl, or reading with a cat on top of me. (They took turns.) Finally fell asleep at 5:30 for a couple hours.

Now if only it would stop snowing!!!

And now the incision hurts.

Happy New Year! (And may 2008 be better than this past crazy year -- healthier, too!)
