Pleased to report

Almost four months ago my Step Mother (not the evil variety) fell down the stairs at their home and broke her arm. Badly. Very badly.

Even worse, becuase she has had recurrent cancer, and has to have regular MRI's, she was not able to have the bones in her arm put back together with a rod. As such, it has taken FOREVER for her to see even the slightest change in her arm in terms of healing. Instead of six weeks to heal, it has been 16 weeks.

But, I am pleased to announce that yesterday afternoon Dad and SM loaded up their Callaway irons and drove to the golf course. They started off realistically, at the driving range, assuming that SM would not be able to hold her club for long times. After half hour, they decided to play a nine hole round. And?

At the end, her arm did not hurt. She did not beat dads score, but her arm was fine!

(she is pretty darn happy - dad and her are BIG golfers, last year they played a round of 18 every single day rain or shine from the time the course opened till they closed it for the season)
