Mask Up Y’all! Mask up, y’all! Yes, I know. Mardi Gras is over; but as far as I know, the threat of COVID is not. I think it makes sense to continue using masks while out and about. I’m not alone in that thinking. Every day I still see people wearing masks; and I’m especially
Double Dip? I did a sort of double dip for lunch today; although not with ice cream. After all, I ate ice cream yesterday! My appetite for refried beans was coming to the surface; and I didn’t have any in pop-top cans. So, on the way home from occupational therapy, I detoured to the drug

Progress Notes Today I have some progress notes. This morning I had another occupational therapy session. My therapist says I’m doing very well. My range of motion is good; but I’m not ready for strengthening exercises yet. I still have some swelling around the surgical site; but that’s to be expected. I went straight from
