Kenni, I've wondered about Al & Ray. Ivan really kept going, all the way up
to Albany, NY. NJ had major flood warnings in some counties. And Alabama, MS and north FL - horrific. Diana, now down to 6 finger typing! |

The Delaware River is about 25 feet above flood stage, but other than
suffering through a horrific day of rain, it wasn't all that bad here. My wife and daughter were in NC on college tours, and a couple were total washouts - who wants to trudge around campus in the rain, anyway?

Six?!?
The last we heard, didn't you still have 8 functioning fingers? What did you do NOW? Steve LOL, back up to seven today, sort of. On Friday I went to have outpatient surgery to repair the broken and dislocated finger on my right hand. I kept telling Frank that I thought it was an awful lot of rigmarole to go through to splint a finger, but I found out otherwise. I opted for a local "block" anesthesia, but it didn't work (couldn't talk, right side of my body began to shake) so they went to a general. When I woke up I had a cast around two fingers and bandages immobilizing the rest of them. The dislocation was affecting the tendons in the rest of my hand. They put me in a sling to boot, but i got rid of that by Sunday. I took their pailn meds the first night, but never agailn! Horrible stuff! So I have some discomfort, but not too much. I hope they will take off the bandages on Friday and just leave the cast so I have more mobility. The good news: I can now do the NY Times crossword using my left hand; I can zip my own shorts; I learned how to tie my shoekaces with 6 fingers; I can take a shower using an "Aqua Shield" that Frank has to stretch with all his might to get it ]on my arm; I can dry my hair, though it is no longer in doubt that I'm a curly head; and today - TA DA! - I hooked my own bra! Gotta laugh about this stuff. I have a t shirt that reads *S* Happens. And so it does! Forgive typos. I think I got most of them! Orchids rule! Diana |

Another thing: I learned that Kent and Cheryl Davis (Lazy Daze) had massive
damage; the whole roof peeled off, as I understand it. Shame. Diana |

Diana Ivan was too far west of of to bother Jacksonville - Have had a house full of Airforce people and their families brough here to safety (Sons in the AF). They all live in the Ft Walton Beach/Pensacola area. Francis blew down 6 Oak trees five ft from my shade house area but didnt hit anything. Not one of my 400 or so cymbidiums blew off the bench - I now have a lot better light |
