_Damn_ those sidewalks, anyway! Who needs em? Coincidentally, my mother had surgery on her right hand last week, so she’s unable to use it. She’s discovered the comfort of Vicodin, though, and that goes a long way towards consoling her. I hope you have something comparable, and I hope you get better soon. ---

Get better soon, **Eve**. If you’re missing too long, it will have a Valentino Effect on the board. People will be too grief-stricken to go on… ---

well, my right hand/wrist is in a brace and pretty much useless for a week or two, and my left arm, shoulder and knee are all bruised, as i think i bounced a few times before skidding to a halt and taking the skin off my palms – must have been highly comical in the abstract, but not so much on the concrete – ---
