    I’m so happy that you are feeling better. I fell off a ladder and broke my elbow 2 years ago. I worked the rest of the day to finish the job and then had to take 10 weeks off. My elbow now feels great.

    Finished up. Around a 25-30% reduction, I didn't want to do it this late in the winter but it had to be done, that's what they wanted....
