I've been gone a few days so just finished catching up on some reading! Zach's surgery went really well. He gained about 20% increase in his range of motion in both feet, and got his stitches out last week. He's still confined to a wheelchair for the next 4 weeks, which is making me a little bit crazy but we're getting through it. I started school with the kids so that helps. We're taking a field trip today to go see a collection of writings and documents belonging to the founding fathers, and then about 9/11.
I haven't touched my machines since his surgery, but hope that will change this evening, as I still have that baby bedding to finish up. I got sidetracked with an infection from a wisdom tooth that needs to come out, but I can't have anything done until after hubby is able to drive and function again so I was literally in bed for several days with heavy pain medication and antibiotics. I'm better now but man tooth pain is the WORST!
I got a short break last night and went over to rescue a few more machines from Alekia's house from that museum collection. I brought four more home with me last night that I'd been admiring since the beginning. I am going to help her get lots of other small things listed for sale on ebay soon. She has boxes with several original singer parts brand new in the boxes, foot pedals, motors, dials, and all sorts of random stuff, and I just couldn't bear to let them go to scrap, so I begged her to let me help her sell them instead.
I'll see if I can get some pics up soon of the new treasures I brought home.
