Hi Nancy,


 RH> We got some non latex disposable gloves some months ago, in sizes to
 RH> fit both Steve and me. The latter size was quite a hunt thru the bin at
 RH> Harbor Freight; I've got small hands and most of their stock is geared
 RH> toward guys whose hands are bigger than mine. So, the gloves don't fit
 RH> perfectly tight but they work, sorta.

 NB> You might need to go to a medical supply place...

I'll stick with these, they're on hand and paid for. (G)


 RH> And the wait is easier (most of the time) as I can do more and more.
 RH> Still don't have a lot of strength in the hand/wrist so Steve is doing
 RH> the heavier jobs--and fusses at me when I pick up something a bit too
 RH> heavy.

 NB> As well he should...  :)   Straining things at this point won't help
 NB> in the long run...

No but I've got the clearance now to pretty much go back to my "normal"
stuff. Doing Fido will help with some wrist action, washing dishes will
gave a different set of muscles and so on a work out, and using the
rotary cutter will exercise other areas. Saw the doctor today and got
the OK; he's very pleased with the way the wrist is progressing.

 NB> :)  It can be a mite frustrating, but it pays off to not  NB>> stress
 NB> things unduly.. :)  I've had to learn the same lesson, and  NB>>
 NB> figure out similar workarounds, with my 15lb(20 max) weight lifting
 NB> NB>> limitation.

 RH> I'm nnot sure what my limit is right now but I want to be able to pick
 RH> up the younger grand kids in a couple of months. Last night Deborah
 RH> told us that Logan weighs 30 pounds so I guess I need to start lifting
 RH> weights. (G)

 NB> Mine is a medically imposed permanent restriction... due to repaired
 NB> and not quite repaired hernias...  :)  At least yours should hopefully
 NB> heal up nice and strong and let you do more lifting eventually... one
 NB> hopes... :)

It'll come in time. I can always sit down and have a grandkid or two (or
more) sit on my lap. Don't think I can hold all 6 at once but the 2
youngest shouldn't be a problem.


 NB>  NB>> ... If I were here more often, I wouldn't be gone so much.

 RH> Looks like this line was custom made for you. (G)

 NB> Pretty much... that's why I grabbed it when I first saw it...  ;)


I've grabbed a few that seem to fit me too.


 NB> ... When your chocolate bar melts in the fridge... You're in Arizona!

Only if the fridge is broken. But, a working fridge was a good place to
keep chocolate when we lived there. Bury it in the freezer and there's
even less easy access temptation.
