Yeah, I'm Back from the land of Vicoden and Underground Cloud Travels.
My hip replacement is healing beautifully (a loud hurrah for the excellent care of Swedish Hospital (Seattle) and the tender nursing of my partner Phil. ) He is my medication Nazi and my bath administrator, otherwise known as the PLA, Preventor of Limburger Armpits.
Last night I went off my pain pills and had no pain, but must admit that I was wide awake until 5 this morning. Oh well, I had nothing else on the line for today other than eat, drink, dabble in watercolors and haul myself around with my invaluable walker. Besides, I was able to finish "Seabisquit) by Lauren Hillerbrand...an excellent book by the way. I have read 9 books in the past nine days. Phil goes over to pick them up from my branch library a block away with the instructions not to pick out anything too heavy, like Plato or Kant's "Discourse of Reason".
I creak around the house with my walker like a frigate at sail....windlass squeaking, masts flapping, rolling and tossing....and must do the same for the next 3 weeks. I can't put weight on my right leg for that amount of time.
I've just started drawing and painting again, and will be back for more regular blogging.
I have a very cool project to start designing.....a magical forest...7'x 12' on canvas. Since this whole hip thing started with a fall off a scaffold 20 years ago, I am bagging most of the onsite mural jobs, which is not a big deal for me, since almost all my stuff for the past ten years has been done on canvas and installed later, anyhow. Will stay in touch and show my process, Facebook friends and others..... PS...just got notification that my class was accepted for the IDAL convention in Portland this June. Check it out, Art Fiends.
