One the squirrels didn't get!

This Nuthatch managed to find a seed that the squirrels didn't get! Oh, by the way, I found the thistle seed sock...it is up in one of our trees...stuck on a limb...very empty.

We have had a very quiet weekend...especially since the TV has been on so little because we get so few channels due to digital "progress"...and the ones we do get tend to fade out shortly after we find them.

Here's an update on Woody's broken lower left arm. He leaves the cast off most of the time now. It still concerns me seeing him without the cast...but he assures me that it is ok to leave it off. And, he is regaining use with it due to having the cast off more and using his arm more. For example, tonight he was able twist and empty an ice cube tray for the first time in months. One tends to take for granted things that seem so easy to do...that is till you can't do them! He can now tie his shoes. And, it's much easier for him to read...very hard to read a book one-handed! Ever thought about that? Give it a try! He has worked and worked on regaining dexterity with his fingers and all his hard work seems to be paying off. All that he has regained with his arm and hand is one of the reasons that he really doesn't want to have surgery on it and lose all that he has worked so hard to get back.

Woody continues to have pain in his upper left arm where the tumor was removed and plates and bone cement were put in...the area that he had radiated. He feels that the pain is due to the after effects of the radiation. We will be asking about that particular pain when we see Dr. Holt next week...five months after his surgery. And, at that appointment we will see what she recommends about further surgery on the lower arm...I'm sure that she will at least refer us to a surgeon who specializes in this type of trauma surgery.
