thanks for asking elly. i was walking the dogs (as anyoe could guess) down a street - in a new to me area and my foot caught the lip of a very deep pothole. I tried to stop my fall by putting my hands out and rolling to the side, but another pothole thwarted my efforts to minimize the damage...my left palm landed outside the second pothole, my fingers inside the pothole and all of my fingers were bend completely back to the back of my hand resulting in lots of noisy knuckle protests and tearing of tendons and ligaments....in a nutshell I succumbed to the forces of gravity. Typing with one hand as well as trying to tie my shoes, and pull my pants up is entertaining to watch!!! Since it is soft tissue damage it will take awhile to heal, so bear with me.

Ouch. Hope you can deal with the dogs as well, one-handed.

thanks elly - all the dogs i deal with are rained to be recalled with my voice and or by my whistling

Sorry to hear about your accident, Mazer! I hope your hand heals well, and, in the meantime, we'll be understanding if your posts are brief.

Outch! Hope all goes well.

Ouch is right! Hope you heal quickly.

ty everyone.
