Two weeks since surgery

Today marks two weeks since Woody's most recent surgery. I was hoping that I could come in and say that his pain is receding...and, perhaps it has...but he had a pretty rough time of it a couple of hours ago...but...he hadn't taken any pain medication since last night at 6pm...so definitely a lot longer between doses. He was hoping that the pain was getting better so he didn't take any pain medicine when he got home from work...but about an hour after he got home, he wished that he had taken it sooner. Woody got up early this morning, went to work, worked, too hot to walk at lunch, worked some more, and then came home to rest and relax.

It has been another hot day here in Middle TN. I made a salad for our supper and sewed some today...but once again...it just seemed too hot to do much of anything.

Tonight's blog pictures are courtesy of our daughter. Wade, Melany, Erin, and Alex went last week to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit at Cheekwood Museum and Botanical Gardens in Nashville. He is a glass blower extraordinaire! It takes teams to do the glass sculptures that he creates. His creations range from chandeliers inside to being parts of the gardens, ponds, etc. outside. This exhibit will be at Cheekwood until the end of October. Melany went back by herself yesterday and said that she sat by this pond and "chased" dragonflies. She managed to get a picture of a dragonfly perching on one of the Chihuly sculptures. Melany sent these pictures via email and I wasn't sure at first if these were real dragonflies or part of the sculpture...but when I increased the picture size enough I could see the hairs on them...a little too realistic for them to be made from glass!
