Embraer is sure shaking the biz jet market up. They are selling everything that they can produce. Sheila is doing ok, couple of rough days. She stopped taking the pain medicine two days ago because it was making her so nauseated, and the anti nausea medicine's biggest side effect is..........nausea.............so that wasn't much help. Getting her off the pain meds, after just four days was a bit scary. That stuff really gets it's hooks into you I guess. She's a rule follower and a fighter so she's on all the physical therapy routines, but she's tired, and hurting so this isn't all that fun.
I'm just catering to whatever she needs and posting pictures here in the interim. ...Show more →
Sorry to hear that, Jim. Some years back I turned my right knee into 20+ pieces (I now have a titanium plate and 5 screws) and I couldn't put weight on it for some three months so I can really empathize. But at least I didn't have any problem with the drugs. Hopefully this will pass quickly.

Hi Jim, Thea and I have you both in our thoughts. I have some knowledge of what your going through right now. Thea have rather too much knowledge of what Sheila is going through. Things do get better – but not fast enough right now. We both remember the drug juggling and the anti nausea that makes one nauseous – just horrible. Hopefully, meds have been adjusted by now and things will improve from here. Chin up !
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Last night was yet another exercise in how many times I could get up and down, you feel so darn helpless. Finally Sheila fell asleep at about 5 am and I let her sleep until 10, but I got in trouble for that because it threw the whole schedule off. Apparently I am in this time warp where I can do very little correctly. She is off all drugs at this point, possibly taking a Benadryl this evening and some Alieve, but all the heavy stuff is in the rear view mirror.
She is doing all the exercises and making a jillion laps around the house every hour so she's sticking to the regimen. I need to go fly to clear my head but I have neither the time, nor the wits at the moment so I'd ream about it.
James came over this morning and we "mowed", a few minutes with him and my heart lightens appreciably. He insisted on regularly coming in to check on his Gramma.

Brother Jim!!!! It is called being a husband and partner!
Suzanne has had 3 hip replacements 2 shoulders, 3 knees and 2 wrists! All due to Rhumatoid arthritis at 19.
Pain management is not an exact science! When I hear what the side effects are in todays pain meds, I cringe!!!!!
Prayers.....
Tell my buddy, his "Uncle Danny" sez "Heh"...my lawn needs mowing also!!!!!

I just brought Sheila lunch and am headed back to my project for the day. This is a modest little spot in Highland Park with a nice little "Ceeeement Pond" as Jethro Bodine would say................. When I tell you that my client has a gift, I'm understating his visual talent and his mechanical expertise, he's nothing short of amazing!

And still a bit of shade not to shabby by the looks of it I could get used to that
Thanks Guys! Long hot day, but the end result was worth it. The architectural feature with the blue glass in it is interesting. The benches are filled with the same glass. The glass is custom tinted and fractured here in Dallas, and the effect is very striking. The containers are backlit by LED. I’ve never seen that treatment before , but it’s cool. Apparently it runs $1,500 to light the kiln and the cost goes up from there. Individuality is expensive, every neighbor’s pool won’t have this.
My hat is off to you two!
