Good grief, I've been off work since December 6th. I have basically been nursing my finger back to health which has been slow and at time agonizing. I also started working on my final project for my MHA degree during the month of December. My final quarter didn't start until January 3rd, so I did get a jumpstart on things. While it's been nice to get stuff done for it, I hit the occasional brain block where I just can't get the words out and onto paper. I also need to be calling other facilities to survey how they handle their patient flow, but as a person who hates talking on the telephone; this is even a tough task. I have other things that I can write, but brain block!!!
The one thing that I really am proud to have gotten rolling is my power point presentations for the educational part of this project. A very good friend of mine got me started on a rather neat way to navigate through powerpoint presentations, so I'm proud of how this is looking and will likely put in a good amount of time on these especially once I go back to work. I am hoping to get the necessary phone calls done soon as I will not have enough time to do this when I go back to work. Crazy, if I could just get focused I'll be done pretty soon!!!
Meanwhile the finger is getting better. I still have 2 metal pins in it and will see the doctor on Friday to see how the fracture is healing. My finger nail is horrendously ugly. My finger has the oddest shape and the cuts are healing rather nice. Weird thing is my skin is peeling off ala sun burn. Maybe this is just another indicator of healing. I've definitely learned more patience with this injury and it's funny how my left hand has adapted to typing without my middle finger contributing. The human brain is amazing!
Well I guess that's it for now. I was on a pretty regular running routine until last week then have taken a 5 day break. My toes hurt in my shoes especially the day after I run, plus it got cold then I was out of town for the weekend. Today I hope to go to the gym for a run on the treadmill later. I need to get it in gear!!! I took Punkin' off for some rehab and exercise yesterday - my mechanic will be fixing up a few things for me then getting Punkin' out on the trails for a bit. =) Not sure when I will go get it back. Maybe mid to the end of February. Meanwhile, if I get to ride again I'll just take Ritchey. =)
