MUCH better today!

A glass of water and a half a bagel with peanut butter start my morning (the bagel is to better keep the Celebrex down, doncha know). Pain today is much better--though I did take one pain pill when I got down to the couch. Wow. There is a decided difference in the effect of pain meds when you have a lot of pain vs when you take them as you're supposed to (which is as the pain is building--before it gets to raging inferno). The pain is pretty much gone, but so is my leg, and, oh look, I think my head is missing too. This must be the "Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery" part of the morning--and here it's time to head to the studio!

Today is a studio and computer day--more computer than studio. I have the last load of the healthcare company awards to fuse, a random piece to slump, and four or five orders to ship. Well, I won't actually be doing anything much other than laying out the glass for the fuse load and entering the shipments into the UPS online system. The assistants will be carrying all the glass to the kilns, packing and putting out the boxes to ship, and generally performing all toting of barges and lifting of bales. Then I shall nap.

Thank you to Mom and Dad Griffith and to Keith and Mike for the lovely flowers. My parents are off kayaking and I haven't even been able to let them know I've had surgery yet.

You know, I suggested to Bridget that you were going to try to work.

Best wishes to your leg, as it seems to be attached to a non-functional brain...

nancy - obviously brenda doesn't understand the word - maybe if i find the french transaltion she'll understand...

bill, the brain is definitely non-functionin and i'm not sure it's entirely the fault of the painkillers...

can't we get dave to ensure she stays at the house????

Brenda, we love you dearly.

I admire your drive. It also scares me. I also imagine everyone telling you to slow down makes you want to do more to prove you can.

Yes, you can. Now please slow down.

With love,
Nancy

Love the pictures of the flowers. Nice to hear you are feeling better. Have to agree with the others in the hopes that you slow down a little and rest so your recovery is a good and speedy one.
