I can breathe again! Well, kind of.
I got the stents removed, which was a huge relief, but now I have some major scabbing and pain. It is 100 times better without the stents though. That was a disgusting procedure by the way.
I am even feeling up to getting back to pottery. I have much to work on and finish! I am feeling very excited and optimistic, but planning to continue taking it slow.
Thank you for your message. I am currently out of office — but not for much longer.
