Well I'm sorta back.

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!)
