Dave, Im very happy to learn the surgery went well and, moreover, that youve been able to make a few Qs. Dont rush things too fast. Get well very soon. 73, Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division Chairman, Legislative Action Committee 5065 Bethany Rd.

Surgery went well. I'll have this soccer ball on my right hand at least until next Thursday, but after that I hope the dressing will be a bit smaller.

The obvious advantage is that you never have to put your pencil down. I also learned to use a computer mouse with either hand for much the same reason -- plus I can balance the repetitive motions to reduce carpal tunnel problems. I think they call that ambi-moustrous. Glad to hear Dave is doing well. -- Andy Oppel, N6AJO At 06:23 PM 5/26/2006, joelh@centurytel.net wrote:
Dave's surgery went OK. He's home and has a very large bandage on his hand and lower arm, so now would be good time to out do him in a CW contest. Even though Dave is left handed, he sends CW with his right hand!
Seriously, his typing is severly restricted (as you can imagine) and so will his email reply capabilities.
Anyway, he is home recovering.
Everyone have a fun, but most important safe, Memorial Day holiday weekend.
