Jeeze, glad you're still able to type. Don't worry about the spelling and grammar, I'm sure many around here are able to read 'typoease' especially considering your wrists. Heal well and heal fast.

Glad you're on this side of the grass. Take it easy and heal well...deciding on whether to saddle up again is a decision for another day and come that day, my guess is you'll have the answer. Take care of yourself.
