Sorry to hear that, I'm glad your getting better.  I went through some thyroid tests last summer, my Dr. was afraid I had thyroid cancer.  I was pretty sure it was my MS messing with it but I went along with the tests.  I spent  $1500 to find out I was right and there is no treatment for it. I should have listened to my gut I could of bought a new kiln with that money.     Denice

Thought I would drop in and see how everyone is doing  I know everyone has there up and downs.   I got a good report that my MS hasn't progressed much in the last 10 years and then blew my knee out a couple of days later.  I am going to have surgery on my right hand and wrist,  potting has finally taken its toll on it.  I am hoping to put it off until winter.  That way I can hang around the house in a cozy warm robe,  my hand doctor said I couldn't do anything with it for 8 weeks.  What a bummer.  Let me know how you are getting along.   Denice

I finally finish my mural\grill combo to fill a window on my porch,  it is made up of large thick tiles,  edge moldings and styles.  The tiles have a sculptural stylized flower pattern with cast glass medallions that look like old hand blown bottle bottoms.  It took me quite some time to learn how to kiln cast recycled glass that thick.  I threw each mold,  bisque and put separator on them.  About half of the molds I had to break off.  In order to get 70 good glass medallions I made about 110, I learned a lot but I doubt I will ever make them again.  The tiles are a inch and a half thick and I need to buy a 10 inch tile saw before I can install the grill.  My husband wants to buy it in person not on line so installation will have to wait.  He is finishing our basement during the shelter in  and is building a large shower.  I am busy making 1000 2in tiles for the floor and niche in the shower.  By the way I had my surgery on my hand, so far it hasn't totally healed, it only hurts in the evening and morning.  The last 6 months I have been going to a urologist,  my bladder wasn't working right.  A common thing that happens to to MS patients, I am alright now one of the new medicines he tried on me worked.  Denice
