Hello ! I`m back, well I`ve not really been away, I`ve just been reading journals and resting. I did try putting backgrounds in my journal but I couldn`t concentrate and failed miserably. But I will work at it. My arm is still very stiff and sore but very much better than it was. My fingers aren`t swollen anymore and the tingling seems to be going from my hand but on the downside. As I feel so much better I automatically start using my arm and thats when the pain starts up. YOW ! the cut is on the tender inside of my arm and when those stitches pull it makes my eyes water. So , I see AOL is still playing up. I`m having to work harder at leaving comments as I keep getting error messages AND now the alerts are back, I`m sometimes getting , not only two from the same entry, but they are sent at different times. How odd !
Jim is looking after me really well whilst decorating another room. It`s like being married to Superman. No complaints here, but I won1t tell him or he`ll get a big head !
Yesterday, I ventured out for lunch with Jim wearing my trusty foam sling that looks enormous on me. They ara all a standard size and I`m only 5`4".Anyway, we walked into the restaurant and as we walked to the table I noticed that many people were staring at me. " Do I have two heads ?" I`m thinking ? I decided to have the last laugh by sitting down and taking off the sling, smiling sweetly and putting it on the chair. The nosey people went back to there lunches and it made me think. Do people who have a disability have to put up with this all the time, everywhere they go ? If so, they must be so annoyed with it. I didn`t like it and my sling is just temporary. It`s funny how just at that moment I saw life from another perspective. I`m off now to put some food in the oven for our tea. Everything takes twice as long which is a nuisance but never mind things could be much worse.

So nice to have you back and so glad you are doing well. I have not attempted backgrounds yet. Having enough problems with aol as it is!
Am glad you are feeling better Sandra. I have been having problems with AOL also. I cannot remember a time when there was not some sort of little problem with journals or alerts, or error messages. I do hope it gets better. God Bless You
Glad you're feeling a little better Sandra :o)
I think you're right, people do stare - or I should say SOME people do stare at others who have disabilities. We're lucky that Jasons disability isn't visible, though there have been times when he's been having a tantrum in the street that people have stared, they've even commented as they walked past!! On one occasion I spotted a group of teenage girls staring as I tried to calm him down, just stood there staring, not even trying to hide it, and I just lost it. I gave them a piece of my mind and sent them away looking shamefaced!! Grrr!! Sorry, rant over ;o)

Folks who stare at disabilities are just ignorant. They need educating. Thanks for the many laughs you keep sending my way, they make such a difference. Life is being a bit cruel and a laugh a day is keeping the doctors at bay - helps me focus on things other than surgery - I am running away from at moment. Glad you have yours behind you and hope that arm heals real soon. Take care

I am going to try and leave a comment. I am having trouble leaving them to. So glad you are back to typing again. :) People are rude when they stare...that bothers me. I try NOT to. It is just rude. I hope this comment will take......
Take care sweetie,
Hugs and Love

Just slow down with that arm of yours! Let it heal in its own good time, lol. But I'm glad it's getting steadily better now. People are incredibly rude, staring at you like that. Next time, just go over and tell them ALL about the operation - every detail until they're bored to death! Well, they obviously want to know all about it or they wouldn't stare, lol!
David.
