Thanks, Dale is doing some better. He still has his arm in a soft cast and can not use his thumb or trigger finger. He has a little use of his middle finger and real good use of his 3rd and pinkie finger. There is a lot of rehab work to do but thank the Lord, Dale is not a quitter. He uses the left hand and is gaining more and more control over it. Dale is a doer, he can not stand to be idle. He can not work but he trades and deals with stuff that he has to make him a little money. His doctor said he should have been on disability long ago when he had his neck surgery. He has went down to SS to see if he can get some help, after all he has worked since he was 18yrs old. Medical help would be a blessing. Dale is the type that if you give him a lemon, he'll make a lemonade. Great son, made out of good stuff...Trish
