yes, that is one of my options,but holding the camera while focussing seems 
a bit touchy.  the doc put a full arm cast to keep me from moving and 
twisting the right appendage at all.  i just found out he wants me out of 
work for 6 weeks!  i m going to have talk with him over this as i need to 
get my work done and i am the only one who does what i do in my company.  
maybe i can get him to let me work half days for the 6 weeks.  ;-)
