The cast came off today, I'm a bit sore, but started exercises to get the arm back...wow! in only a 10-day period, I lost strength!!!

But, it's VERY cold here again... -3 celcius (26.6F) was the HIGH today!! There was snow on Saturday night. It sent this southern California gal scrambling for the longjohns!!!! I am also on 'ice watch'...for skating, that is (what? did you think that a bit of gypsum would keep me from the ice????).

Hugs to all....Kathi

    Kathi,
    Glad the arm is
    Kathi,
    Glad the arm is mended. Didn't someone say something about bubble wrap? Just wrap up and skate away. It will not only be protective with falls, it will make sounds if you fall, and it is insulation for the cold. Yes, just get a bubble wrap snow suit with hood (protect the head) and you will be good to go. You will look a little like either Poppin Fresh or the Michelin man but maybe you could sell advertising space to them and make this an economic windfall as well. Have fun and do be careful.

    Arm-Free!
    Glad to hear you were able to get that cast off, Kathi. Sounds like you better keep those longjohns on for awhile, though.

    Keep on skating! Hello to Hans!

    Glad to hear you're back in
    Glad to hear you're back in motion. I like Stef's suggestion of the bubble wrap suit. That would definately be a hit with the kids. You guys may be on to something here.
