Why I've been away

Dear friends, some of you may have noted that I have been off the site since early 11/11. Around 8 that morning while walking the dog, I tripped over an uneven sidewalk and fell face first onto a blacktopped alley. The results were radial head fractures to both elbows, a mild concussion, and a lot of hand and facial cuts and contusions. Obviously having two broken elbows made typing difficult!

The right one only being cracked has responded fairly quickly but I didn't get out of the sling on my left elbow until yesterday and it still hurts to work a keyboard. I will be around lurking but my posts may be intermittant for a while.

Best wishes to all,

Keith

Jayzus! Welcome back, I hope you're recovering well enough, what a mess. Amazing how such a normal activity can result in such an injury.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

I am back working though running my poor wife ragged because she has to drive for me. My typing is slowly coming back though you will note my missives have gotten shorter. It just aches all the time especially in the cold, damp weather we are having up here right now.

Thanks for all the prayers and concern!
