Turns out making cylinders is hard.\u00a0 In clay.\u00a0 Kate and I are rank beginners at this clay thing, but we are taking a class with others who aren’t.\u00a0 This makes life difficult for the teacher and for us rank beginners.\u00a0 Near the end of Day 2 today I think I got how to draw up the wall of a cylinder.\u00a0 Light touch, right hand and left hand equal pressure for pressure, move up, relax and the lip, repeat.<\/p>\n
Kate’s arthritic thumbs gave out about 3 pm today.\u00a0 Now that she has the new hips and the back fusion, her pain load is less, but the arthritis moves around, finding new joints to bug.\u00a0 The hands have been less bothersome up till now because the hips and the back were worse.\u00a0 Now though…\u00a0 She also wears out after about four hours.\u00a0 She did the other day (did I write this already?) how surprised she is at the effect major surgery has on her stamina.<\/p>\n
