Dear Michael,
I don't kn...September 27th, 2013<br /><br />Dear Michael,<br />I don't know what I was doing this day, but I was not having fun or blogging. <br /><br />I regret that I did not keep up with your blog this summer and could have sent good wishes to you when it happened. Some days I have just had so much to do that I haven't been able to visit anyone's blog. <br /><br />I am so sorry that you were injured like this, but thankful that you seem to be on the mend now when I am writing this.<br /><br />My son, Erik, fell at school about a year and half ago and suffered a concussion too. He had some memory loss when it happened, and had trouble concentrating afterwards. So I am familiar with some of the after affects. But since I am writing this long afterwards, I know you haven't lost your touch. <br /><br />But what a scare it must have been! You have been very brave.<br /><br />Best wishes & hugs,<br />AnnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-66221795800042421532013-08-30T16:37:59.415-05:002013-08-30T16:37:59.415-05:00Oh no!

I've been away - so am just catching up .. gosh - what a shock and horrid thing to happen.<br /><br />As you say thank goodness it's no worse ... however as Elise says - be sensible over your recovery time .. a few days/time of extra relaxation now will help in the days ahead ... <br /><br />Any injury must be so difficult for you to deal with .. but I know your strength will pull you through ... <br /><br />Let your brain do the wandering - buy a tape recorder and jot your notes down that way .. perhaps? Saving your arm ... <br /><br />Look after yourself - just such a pain ... I'll be and am thinking of you ...

Not that it's just in Chicago by any means- we have plenty of that here and I complain about it ALL THE TIME! I hate hiking and having bikers barreling down the hill, "on your right" just as they fly by, the sign saying "pedestrians have the right of way" on the right hand of the path of course, blithely ignoring the signage. And this is what happens. People (like you!) get hurt. Take care of yourself and make sure that hand heals properly. Cheers!!
