Another week has gone by. The last session in physical therapy hurt so bad I kind of just wanted to lay down for a few days. Yet....by yesterday I was not only feeling better but could, once again, move a little better. I had the mechanics of what has happened to me explained.
  In my uneducated laymen terms. I got hurt. The body puts callogen"?" Over the injured area for healing purposes. As time goes by, this and lactic acid build up over the area. In time it affects posture. Another callogen process takes place. My meager understanding is that it takes about 2 years for each cycle to complete. So getting all the ligaments, tendons and muscles worked loose is not much fun.

I know....not a great explaination, best I can do. I understand it enough for me,but like as not, I don't understand it enough to write a post on my blog well enough for everyone to understand. I guess if you know enough you could google it.

 Vivian is in Nashville, Tennessee for a convention. I guess the university does this every year. Anyways, we both have android tablets so we skyped this morning. Pretty nice way to say good morning long distance.


 Vivian just sent me this picture of her from the Wild Horse Saloon.

I was told I was not to buy anything for myself this close to Christmas. Nobody said I could not build what I needed.

 I built a holder for my tablet. I suppose it could have took an hour all together. I had it mostly together in 20 minutes but it needed tweeking. I had to add stops so it could not fall forward or slide out the side. I also added rubber pieces where needed and glued some fine sandpaper to the bottom so it can't slide off my lap. It works great.

One more project is started. Vivian needs a sewing table. I am building one out of that particle board with the plastic on the sides. I forget the name and don't really care if I remember. I am using the last piece I hope to ever own. I am edging it with oak and making a piece that folds up on the end.

I just got started. I have to build the frame. It will be fastened to the studs in a corner. I should have a completed picture next post. I suspect it will be pretty solid.
