if typing looks funny it's because i finally went and had the trigger finger surgery on my right hand and can only use left hand. braking and shifting with right hand had become so painful, i really needed to have it done. still, now i cannot use my right hand at all for a while. the surgery was pretty easy, and as long as i keep my hand elevated i have no pain at all. but the bandage is huge (to protect it), so there's nothing i can do with right hand.

suddenly, you realize that you can't open a bottle or put your hair in a ponytail or hook you bra or open a can of cat food! luckily, dh works from home and is helping me with the trivial things.

its pouring rain today as though to tell me "you can't ride anyway"... so trying to read a book and not get too depressed. i have a new respect for girls having shoulder and knee surgery... it's tough to think about recovering and keeping optimism.

ideas for staying upbeat for 3 weeks?
