I'm still trying to finish those two sgianan duhb. Seems like when I try to work on them I don't get anything done. I just keep at it though. I have to be really careful now as my balance is non existent I have fallen twice in the yard. The first time was bad gouged my calf on tree stump and my foot was stuck in some brush took me ten minutes to get up. Yesterday I fell once and five minutes later I almost went down again but managed to grab hold of a tree limb. Didn't dare tell my wife she gets rather upset when I go out. If I ever get these two sginan done I will try to get the young lad across the street to put pictures on here. Ha! she has gone to the store so I am going to my workshop.

Falling is a very bad thing.... on my 69th birthday, I went to visit my mom (97) in assisted living facility. On my way down the hall, my right foot sole scuffed the carpet. I stumbled and grabbed the handrail but kept going forward. Finally went down and landed on my replaced hip... multiple fractures the femur around the lower stem of the titanium hip joint. Now I have a longer lower piece and three straps around the bone that look like tie-wraps...
Third time this hip has had surgery. 2 months of physical therapy, still use a walking stick for balance.

A few weeks after the surgery, I started remaking a kilt that was too large, then made my first new kilt. Kept me busy! Finally getting to the point 4 months later tgat I am becoming more comfortable doing things in my workshop again. Kitchen cabinets for my son's geodesic dome house. (So many angles!)
