Happy Birthday Christina.

I hope your next year is great.

Thanks Judith. This year has been a steady one of slow and gradual recovery
from my spinal injuries. My consultant says I will never completely recover
the full use of my fingers due the nerve damage. I didn't realise quite how
long it would be before I could write with a pen again, that was the pits
having to get Woodman to fill his own cheque in when he brought me logs.
However I am pleased to report that only just recently I can now use a
manual tin opener again. So in the coming year I'd like to be able to pick
up small things. The OT tested my progress -I've been working so hard with
the hand physio- by giving me a box full of very small metal thingies to
pick up and put into another box. He said it was once a test that some
factory used to do for potential employees and then they found it was a good
test for spinal injury patients use of their hands. Let's just say I
wouldn't have got the job.

Anyway, this next year will be better. I feel in it my bones g
