Who knew? Where’s that on the label, that warning from the FDA that “retirement” is harmful to ones health? Did you know that people who retire end up dying, more than any other kind of people? I heard that once but I thought they were just trying to keep me from doing what I’d rather be doing instead of going into an office. Kind of like a ploy, a fear tactic. I’m here to tell ya, your bosses may be onto something. For now keep working – don’t quit, at least until I get back to ya, hear? I’m having a hard time getting plane seats out there so you folks really need to stay in the office and off planes. Don’t you guys have a job to go to? I mean somebody’s gotta work and I figure it might as well be you instead of me… 🙂

I can’t even tie shoe laces much anymore until this cast is cutoff, I have one more week left (then a splint for 4 to 6 more weeks!). No, I’m not going back to the office to prove the experts right, not with these night slippers on. After all, I have my “dig-ni-ty”. Running around in gym shorts and sandals and trying to look “all important”, that doesn’t fly. However, after 24 days of living with only one fully operative hand, it’s amazing what all I can do. Amazing! Like I can take a shower with one hand now – so cool. Not! I can still drive though to run my errands, well kinda? (Don’t tell anyone.) Shaving, brushing my teeth, and washing my face, even cooking and cleaning up afterward with one hand? Now that’s fun. Not!

Also I found this out – did you know that when you can’t get some body part wet, like you must keep it dry at all costs because it’s in a cast. Did you know that the skin begins to die and flake off of that which you must keep dry? Well I didn’t either. But pieces of skin are coming off my fingers now. Pretty gross, so my advice, especially for men out there – never stop wetting your equipment in the shower, like never, ever stop. You don’t want this kind of thing happening with your equipment, that shit slowly disappearing on you, no way, no how… that’s why I make sure mine gets plenty wet in the shower these days. Trust me on this particular one! 🙂
