thank you for your well wishes. I think my palms might be feeling better already. I went outside to trim some Ivy that was growing all over, and that was able to do that. However, bending over I could feel my ribs hurt. I guess I landed on them pretty hard. I need to sweep and mop tomorrow so I hope I can. I mean when I say I need to do something I mean that it is long past due, that's the way I do housework.
