OH wow, that will be a huge change.  I wish him and his family well on their move and life changes.  That will also be a big change for you, not to see him/family as much.

Yes hubby was suppose to have his in October but he was just getting over COVID and then got his finger in the table saw!!!

How is his hand/arm doing?

Well his arm is doing ok his hand especially the little finger on that left hand he says always feels cold and he doesn't have the grip in it that he did prior to the heart surgery.  

Yes, but little finger is a problem.  I have a bone chip from when I was about 20 in the first knuckle so it is kinda bent, and last year I tripped over the dog, caught myself in a door jamb and the lower two knuckles hurt like crazy for quite a while.  I can finally straighten the finger (but not the tip due to the bone chip.  So the little finger can be a problem!!  I can use it for typing and all other activities but I spent a lot of time while it was healing straightening it so as to try to prevent arthritis getting too bad.  I think I won that battle reasonably well.

Yeah….sad about the distance, but hubby’s family is around locally so we won’t be all alone!!  I said to my posse that I don’t have enough time left to make friendships like the ones we have!  Better to stay and maintain what you have—-plus hubby has the heart doc and VA close by.  We’ll live!!  We never lived close to my parents.  They mostly came to visit us.
