Back to the Torch

I finally got back to the torch this evening after so long away. I've really missed working in the flame. I made some ruffle beads to get started and then made a very detailed set of jungle beads. I can't wait for them to come out of the kiln. I will probably get them out around noon tomorrow and photograph them as soon as I inspect each one.

Stop here if you don't want to read about my illness in the last month. Update...I had surgery on Thursday and a large gallstone was removed from my bile duct. It was about 1 1/2" in diameter so it was big and hurting.

During the last few weeks I developed a fever and cough. I went to the ER then to my doctor. A week later it was still bad so I went back. A x-ray revealed that I have pneumonia in my left lung as of Friday. I'm on another set of antibiotics but all seems to be going okay. I have a cough but it isn't as bad. The only thing I notice is that I do have a rattle if I lay on my left side.

I have been taking it easy and enjoying my time with friends and the pups. Ray has taken very good care of me and being a pest as to when I need to take pills.

Now off to bed. I'm sleepy and I babysit in the morning.
