Thanks JT.I did not even think about that when I was told surgery was the only answer, it is healing good, must wear the cast another two weeks, then hopefully he will let me try using it.
My children did convince me to stop all the plant work, so I have gone frome 85 Adeniums to 4, the largest ones to big to mail. and I only have 4 Brugs left, I know I am going to truly miss them.
