should have waited to start back turning

Well I obviously spent too many hours at the hospital last week. I went into the shop this morning and ruined one piece and almost screwed up another. Think I'll take it easy the rest of the day and not do anything serious. I have to go back next week and take over for my sister because my Dad's still not out of the woods but getting better. I simply had to come home and catch up on bills and stuff. Having 2 parents in the hospital at the same time was a chore. Because of my Dad's infection they would not let us go from room to room. We had to divide up and go home and change clothes and take a shower before coming back to stay with the other parent. Kind of wore us all out.

On the plus side when you look through lots of out dated magazines you get some good turning ideas. I will take a sketch pad with me next week. Heck even walking into the hospital I got an idea from the indoor fountain. I'm always amazed when someone says "I don't know what to turn". Gosh there are ideas everywhere.

John -- I understand what you're going through with your parents. Both of mine were in the hospital last year about this time. We ended up moving them from Utah into a much smaller home close to my sister and me here in Arizona. When they're both feeling well, helping them meet their needs requires a lot of time and emotional energy. It's worse when one or both is ill. Still, having them still with us is better than the alternative.

One sister lives with them which really helps but she desperately needed help when both had to go
