I had some snotty remark ready, thinking of our conversation at dinner table
about the traps of polite language and other manners of speaking, but I'll
refrain from it. ;-) Seriously, I keep my fingers crossed for him. Auntie,
soon to be 90, had that a couple of years ago and it was of some help (only
the rest of her body is falling apart, but that's about normal at her age,
isn't it?), so if he's a bit nervous, I hope that will cheer him up.

Looking forward to the results rather than nervous.
But yes, we are taking the rest of him with the wrist... ;)

Oh good. I wondered about that. ;) Tell Alan I will be thinking good
thoughts for him. Hope he heals up quick. Oh, and remind him he has to
behave himself nicely and not be a rotten patient. ;)

You don't realize how much you need both hands until one of them is out
of commission. Sympathy to Alan.

Unless you plan to use the pattern again, maybe you could cut out the
largest size first, and then cut out the smaller size.
