-> My energy level is going up, thankfully, so hopefully I'll soon be
-> back to the energy level that I had before. I still have pain, mostly
-> at night and when I overdo it in the activity department, but that
-> too is getting less as time goes on.
I'm glad to hear that you have more energy.  Have you ever noticed
though you don't mind hurting as much when fun casues the pain instead
of work?  I got hurt at work and I whined and complained, and fussed
etc.  I get hurt riding my horse and I comment on hurting then laugh and
comment on deserving it.  The moral of this is that if you are going to
overdo it make sure you overdo it having fun.
-> with abdominal pain now that I've been out of the hospital for a
-> couple of weeks.  But stress in the emotional area has been difficult
-> for other reasons.
Thats to bad.  It really slows your recovery time.
-> I got a cortosone shot in my wrist today that has helped the
-> tendonitis that was resisting getting better while wearing the brace.
-> Hopefully that will
I hope this helps.  It sure is hard not to use your primary hand.  I
hope that you aren't clumsy.  I'm left handed and I kept falling and
catching myself with my left hand.  I hurt my left wrist 2 years ago
picking up a bag of 4 avacados.  Only I could do that.  Its not
well but for the last month I have been able to pick up a small sauce
pan with my left hand.
-> and I get to keep half for doing the work.  :-)  I have lots of
-> sponges so I plan on experimenting with using those rather than my
-> rubber stamps.
I dye tissue paper using food coloring, paints, or whatever is handy
then I paint over them or do collages using them.  I wonder how they
would look if you used rubber stamps on them.  I'm going to have to try
it just as soon as the April  Glass Fair is over.   Until then I don't
have time to do much of anything except jewelry.
