thanks, Joe!!! you are absolutely right, of course!!! but i'm not so good at resting. first 2 weeks of Feb, I'll be work 75 hours each week. i'll be on "light duty" of course. also, from Feb 1 until Apr. 1, I will have NO days off. not one day off for 2 months. but i will be on light duty entire time. my ortho doc tells me it will be spring before i can regain use of my arm. i will tell story when i upload image tonight. i did work on existing photo collection tonight. that helped. Thanks!!! About writing...well, i haven't tried much writing these days. hmmmm...maybe i should try. if only itching would stop. ok. maybe i write poem about itchies. good idea!!! :) thanks joe!!
