Just an update on me...
My ankle healed after a couple weeks, and then I had surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. It's been two weeks since that surgery and I have to take it easy for at least 5 more weeks. That's a hard thing to do. I can't work alone in my studio, because the doctor doesn't want me lifting my kiln cover (it weighs 20 pounds). Kas has been volunteering his time to lift the cover for me, but he can only give an hour or so a day.
I have to be patient, this too shall pass. At least I have Mexico to look forward to!! 63 days and counting :)
