Kass, I'm glad your surgery is over and you're feeling better than expected. No way to go but up now. I'm with you on the pain meds, I still have half my prescription left from my surgery. I hate taking that stuff. Just be good to yourself and don't over do it for a while.
I'm working on Joely's quilt now, but it sure is hard with all this miserable heat. AC and 2 fans don't seem to help a whole lot when you have 2 four foot long light bulbs hanging right over your head. Hey, I can see though!
