Hello, all. Thank you for your concern! I do read here, even if not up to posting.

I spent a week ill, with such incredible back pain I feared it was the symptom mentioned in the virus. Over that by a few days and fell and broke my arm a week ago tonight - Thursday night - and waited about five days hoping for relief as in a sprain, with no luck.

Wanted very much to avoid any health care facility, obviously, but gave in on Tuesday morning and went to the ER. Sure enough, left radius broken. They put on a plaster splint and said to see the ortho and get a cast in a week or so after swelling goes down. That's unlikely as I only left the splint on about thirty hours. Hurts too much and prevents too many normal motions. Only had three casts in my lifetime and removed all three.

Typing is uncomfortable, but manageable, so I wanted to check in. Sea Island Cotton, thank you, sweet person,for your concern! I'm still trying to plant,though not getting far. I do have potatoes coming up in three buckets, with peas not yet up. Planted a good number of tomatoes yesterday, to raise until large enough to put into Kratky containers for fall and winter.

Mental Case, I feel sure you have little in the way of preps and this is disturbing. You only had one jar of Tang and it was ready to hand, rather than packed away with other preps - this is a hint. How long could you manage to eat? Six months? Three? Would like to see you have at least two or three years, and that means everything, not two or three things. Please be aware and conscientious about what you will need.

Time to rest the arm. God bless each of you and keep you well and safe.
