Hi Darcy
I am struggling at times with my voices but at the moment I am focusing on my recovery from my operation on my left wrist. I had to change my dressing and found I have six stitches. They will be removed in a few weeks time. I still have not made any friends yet but I hope to gain some soon.
Thankypu for your on going support!

I do hope you recover well. Making friends is hard and each time we have moved I have had to be quite intentional about it and join an interest group to meet others.
I am wondering if you would find a little more support on the LE side of the forum (you are on the carer side) there is a lot more activity, today they have Saturday Soiree - all welcome!! and you might find that posting your story under a "new discussion" here will yield a lot more replies. As carers we often work as well as look after our loved ones so often our replies are delayed whereas on the LE side responses are usually a lot quicker.

Well my stitches are gone. I had to go back asi had two areas which was infected. They had to scrape it and put Betadine on it. Then it was sealed with a waterproof dressing. The following week later it was removed and it looked good.
My wrist is amazing! No more nerve painor pins and needles. I can now lift the kettle and milk with no pain. I am now waiting for the right one to be operated on.
