Sorry for the
lack of Ken updates…it’s just that there hasn’t been much of anything to
update. Until today, that is.
Rejoice! for
Ken no longer has pins sticking out of his knuckles and a big clunky thing
immobilizing his hand and wrist! *\o/*
The pins
themselves were almost anticlimactic—they just slid right out. He said it felt
a little weird, but there was no pain. His hand’s swollen still, the skin is
peeling, and the fingers are still stiff. He has his first therapy appointment
on Monday, for both his hand and his shoulder. Twice a week for six weeks, and
then we’ll see, I guess. He just wants his throttle hand back. ;-)
Other than
that, he still tires easily. For example, Tuesday we went to the Styx/Yes show
at The Greek Theatre in Hollywood. We left at about 2:45 to miss traffic, and did so
with such competence that we got there half an hour early, so we killed some
time drinking tea at Starbuck’s. Styx went on first, so we ditched Yes (sorry…)
but ended up going out for a late dinner with friends, so we didn’t get home
’til about 1 am.
He spent most
of Wednesday napping as a result.
Thus we’re
continuing to lie low and take it easy. Not too many outings, and keeping them
short.
At the risk of
sounding like a broken record, visits are highly recommended to help him from going nuts. We can
also go out for lunch or dinner, or the movies, if you’d like to meet up
somewhere (provided we don’t have much else scheduled that day). Please.
Really. We love our friends and we want to see you!
