THANKS, All!
I really appreciate all the thoughts and concern. I'm stiff and sore, and movin' a lot slower, but the drugs are fine (even if I gotta be off 'em by Monday so I can go back to work!).
I'm thankful for two thigs:
1) I hadn't picked up any kids yet
2) It COULD have been a whole lot worse had my reactions been miliseconds slower
So, I'm most thankful for that ONE watching over me, and those around me.
Re: cell phone: ain't gonna happen! While I can-and-do appreciate the thought of connectin' cross-country Gatherings, or reachin' out from anywhere, there's something about teardrops, Teardrop Time, and me that just don't go together with cell phones. Go ahead ... call me old fashioned. It's one of the things that drew me to teardrops in the first place.
O.K. - just got off the phone with my work comp agent ... I'm NOT a happy camper, so I'm gonna go. THANKS, again everybody!
Tryin' to stay CHEERful!
