I went up to Mayo last week for surgery on my right elbow. I am currently pleasantly relaxed in front of Netflix, my dog curled up at my feet, a Diet Mountain Dew on the table before me. Blogging while drugged isn’t very wise, but I’m doing it nonetheless. Getting around without full use of one’s arm takes a certain getting used to. I’m so grateful for Jeremy’s selflessness in caring for me—and Livia’s big seven year old attitude goes a long way in making do for the time being. Mercy meals from church friends are keeping us afloat, while my mom’s nursing expertise eases my mind and cares for the details that come up during recovery.
While I get back to normal, I think y’all should leave me links to interesting, thoughtful, funny, etc articles to read online. Either that or bring me something good to read for realz. Thanks!

I’m glad everything has gone well so far! Get to exercising that elbow. Btw, what’s the story on the statue? My first guess was Jesus, but that doesn’t seem right.

I don’t know the story of the statue, but I found its title here.

I thought the statue was my name sake, but he doesn’t look robust enough. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. In the meantime….listen to your nurse.

The Chihuly art is beautiful. The statue… shouldn’t be in a recovery room. You’re wonky enough with the meds. You shouldn’t have to check your memory to compare realities. *chuckle* “…and Michelangelo’s David was stripping for me! No, really!”
