UPDATES

I have nothing to show you, but thought I should explain why I haven't posted for so long.

The kitchen & bathrooms remodel is coming along nicely.  We mostly have full function in the kitchen again, except for the stove.  That was supposed to have been hooked up on Friday, along with a bunch of other electrical stuff.  However, there is a HUGE fire south of us.  It is far enough away that it is not a concern, but on Friday it caused a lot of road closures and the workers couldn't get here!  So, everything got moved forward to Monday and after.  Sigh. 

As for the fire, it is between Carson City and Reno and as of last night was 20% contained.  More rain today so that should help and the high winds have died down too.  Hopefully they will get a good handle on it today.

To complicate things, I had a procedure done on my RIGHT (dominant) hand and have been unable to stitch for weeks.  I had/have Dupuytren's Contracture and decided to get it fixed before it got any worse.  Well, it was already pretty "worse" and the healing time is much longer than I expected.  I can stitch a little now, but get tired and achey quickly.  I'm not real keen on working on anything "important"!!  I am getting therapy now, 2X/week, so maybe things will move along a little faster.

Anyway, I'll be back soon I hope.  Thanks for sticking with me!  And if any of you have experience with Dupuytren's, please let me know about it!!

Yikes! I know nothing about that, but it sounds like a good thing you decided to get it taken care of. I hope the procedure did the trick and you don't have any more trouble once you've recovered fully.

Thanks for the update. Even though the fire is not in Reno, I have a brother there and must now see how he's faring. Glad your renovation work is just about done but sorry to read about your surgery. Hopefully the recovery will begin to go quickly

I was wondering what you were working on - a speedy recovery! Don't know Dupuytren's Contracture. Good luck with it & the kitchen. Melita

I can relate. I had surgery for Dupuytren's on non dominant hand. Hang in there!
