My arm still aches from time to time and when I use it to much the next day it is pretty dead. I am still mousing with my left hand, but I am shaving and brushing my teeth right handed.
I go back to the doctor monday, so I will know more then.
Last time I was there he took me out of my brace, and told me I was looking real good. There is a lump on the top side of my arm with new bone growing (it is strange b/c when I lean against a wall, the lump sticks out enough I rock like a teeter totter) and a crack on the bottom side.
Heres hope the crack is not as big.
No good pic, so I will leave you with chuck d and me

Dear Mr. Rymer —
PENNANT magazine (the organ of the Pen Collectors of America at http://www.pencollectors.com ) plans an article on the writing difficulties of people with hand/arm injuries, including the tricks that they may have found for writing even with the injury or amputation.
This topic came in for me, the PENNANT handwriting techniques columnist, by special reader request. It has become timely and urgent because of the number of injured/amputated veterans returning from Iraq and other battlefields.
As PENNANT's handwriting columnist, I would like to interview you (by phone or e-mail) for your own experiences with handwriting as a "suddenly left-handed" individual. PENNANT needs this article for the Fall 2008 issue, but requires me to work on it now because the magazine uses about a five-month "lead time." (In other words, they have to have everything at least five months before it will actually appear, so I would need to get in touch with you quite soon.)
Yours for better letters,

So when will you be able to play flag football again?
