Misc items

It's been awhile since I've posted so I thought I'd put some items out there.

I return to the surgeon this week to have my finger checked. The greatest hindrance so far has been trying to wash my right arm, which usually requires my left hand, which isn't supposed to get wet. I had to have my wife and daughter scrub my arm after painting the youngest boys room and my arms we're almost as white as the ceiling. Everywhere I go people are asking if I need help when they see the bandages. Fortunately I'm right handed so I can sign my name. I'll try the bass this week, first time since the accident. Not too much pain which is good since my pain medication has about run out. I see the doctor Wednesday morning and find out what restrictions I'm supposed to have and how long a recovery for the nerves damage

Just added a link to the blog for http://electmegferber.com Meg is a good friend running for House District 64a in St. Paul MN. A seasoned mother 6, she's a great conservative choice for St. Paul. Primarily a pro-life candidate, her greatest asset is integrity. I'm not afraid of electing her and then watching her turn into a social and fiscal democrat. She thinks things through and isn't afraid to take a difficult stance, or to change an opinion when warranted for sound reasons.

It's back to work today after a week off. Rather, it's back to work at Lawson. I've been working frantically at home with various projects. I completely painted one room, sanded completely the floors in two rooms, made a trundel bed (see previous posts about the little things). I'm back at work to relax. Hundreds of e-mails. But it's good to be back.

Now that school is winding up for the kids it will be a challenge to keep them occupied all summer. Katherine's looking for a job, Rachael's going to do some babysitting at home while Barb works. Nathan's sort of looking for a job but he's still a little young. He may mow neighborhood lawns. Hopefully he'll explore St. Paul more on his bike. The challenge will be to keep them off the computer and outside playing. We have four playing soccer on various days. Nathan and Katherine I suppose could explore the bike trails. Maybe they'll fix all the bikes so we can take a bike trip this summer. Better than driving.
