Comfortable at Last! YES!!!

Happy New Year!  More changes for the good at our house and I think this photo says it all about Ken!  This was our Christmas photo by Wyn.
Dr. Delahoussaye has done wonders by adjusting Ken's pain meds so that he is on a more even dose all the time.  Within in a few days it was obvious to us this was the trick.  Although he is still down most of the time he is more comfortable than he's been in years.  To the point his smart mouth is alive and well and he's back plotting and scheming on the computer looking forward to the summer in NE Oregon.
What a bad patch that was!!  But onword and upward.  If (when) Humana gets their act together the Dr. will try P Stem to try and get a little more comfort.  P STIM  We'll see.

I have been keeping busy and Debbie has been creating hate and discontent (actually obsession and contentment) by substituting my "craft antibiotic" with pure sugar pills.  So now we are combining what we've learned in Swedish Weaving, beading and Kumihimo into doing Japanese thread balls called "Temari".  So we are neck deep in another craft to the point Deb has created a NEW blog for it!  Balls for Brains  Yep! That's it's name.  Here is a small sample - there is much more on the blog.

 Of course that isn't all we've done.  We decided sewing wasn't in our repertoire this year and found a craft that just uses scissors, rulers and glue.  Refashioning sweatshirts.

Yes that is Deb in the back and she's actually FINISHING and WEARING a project!










I haven't given up on beading Here are a few of the last ones I've done.  

And finally Carmen's is doing well and is now doing specials a couple nights a week.  We, of course, haven't been able to keep the days straight and have a several laughing arguments about when and what.  So I took a picture so I could always prove I was right (errrrr or wrong)!

And I shall leave this post with a picture of retirees working:
