Medical update.....& a late afternoon drive

THE LATEST from TheHowserHouseHospital: The condition of the injured trout fisherman is about the same......a bit less pain and alittle less swelling....at least the ends of the fingers which is all that is visible!! Have 2 get an appt. 2morrow morning with an orthopedic dr. in Worland. He was not around on Fri. 2 when I called. Brushing the teeth w/the L. hand is getting somewhat easier; shaving is stilla BITCH; zipping the fly is still difficult AND dangerous! Lots 2 learn......

We took a drive about 5pm......the 1st Lady is getting bored, she says.....but, what is an invalid to do????? Soooo, we headed north for 20 miles up agravel road 2 Hyattville.......a booming metropolis of 97 souls. two cafes w/bars(saloons). We ate supper......very plain and below average for a hamburger/fries with coffee made from ONE coffee bean!!! Red medicine n a stemmed glass r other type of drinking utensil was unheard of in this town!

Then we headed up another gravel rd 2 another archeological site: Medicine Lodge Cliffs. Here in the early 70's, this site was discovered witg hundreds of petroglyphs and pictoglyphs that were found to have created 10,000 years ago...thousands of years before the Egyptian pyramids
were constructed! Soooo much was discovered here.......

As dusk began to change to evening darkness, we returned to TheHowserHouse. The foothills are sooooo coloful.

Thanks for all "get better" emails!!!!!! Would like 2 reply to each, but this typing with one hand is for the birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
