    I have not been here much lately and probably won't be for awhile due to pain. After several Dr's and testing I will be have surgery on Wed. for carpal tunnel syndrome and carbital tunnel syndrome on my right hand and arm. When I'm healed they are going to do my left hand and arm. I just want the pain gone and the use of my hands back. Can't tell you how many things I've dropped and broken lately. My hands the mouse and the keyboard don't get along at all. I just hope I can keep the weeds at bay.

    I've had both these proceedures Donna on both my right and left side. The pain you are in at the moment will soon be a thing of the past but do take it easy after the operations and we'll see you back here when you are feeling better and pain free. :kiss:

    Donna, I'll keep you in my heart and hopes until you are fully recovered and back to doing all the things you love.
    We'll miss you, but thank you for letting us know why you are going to be missing for a bit.

    Wishing you lots of strength to deal with this. I expect your arm and wrist problem to be solved with the surgery. Will you have a friend or family member type a word to us once and awhile?
    Hang in there, kid! :)

    Thank you all so much. And yes I will keep you informed. We had almost 8 inches of rain yesterday. It washed the mulch right out of my gardens.
