Subject: RE: BS: Severn Injured...Good thoughts, please
Home last night. Waiting on calls from a physical therapist and a visiting nurse. Have not been able to access the cat for a week at the rehab Ctr. Was not able to get on line at the hospital, It's good to be home.

Somehow my shirts (button down cotton over a cotton tee) caught fire in my kitchen while putting away a dishwasher load.Stop, drop and roll didn't do the trick, but throwing cold water on my chest made it possible to tear off the two still burning shirts and throw them in the sink under cold water. Then 911 was called, and I was sent to Johns Hopkins Bayview burn center. I remained there for a month, where I could guest on mudcat one-handed but not get online. Then rehab with no Cat. Sorry I couldn't join in the fun here until now.

I still hurt (sometimes life itself hurts) but am mending well and the skin grafts took well. The left arm needs lots of therapy.

Nurses are gone, but they'll be back on Thursday.

All for now.
