It looks like a wedding here now

The outpouring of support from the wonderful people who know Carolin has been amazing! We have several lovely bouquets, enough meals to fill a freezer, cards and gift baskets. If we get too many more Carolin's going to think she is really sick. Thank you to all. We'll get busy on the thank you cards once Carolin can get her left hand going again.

She's doing a little better each day. She has a "drain" installed in the wound that is awkward but necessary until things heal up a little. Her sleeping has been better than expected even though she can't move much at night. A 2 - 3 hour nap in the afternoon is normal. Appetitie is fine. In addition to being sore, she is quite stiff. She has some exercises to do to loosen up but she can't lift her arm above her shoulder. It's going to be some weeks before her lawn bowling team gets her back.
