Mica,
Good to hear your starting to feel better. Those pain meds can make it easy to overdo things so please don't push it too hard. Instead draw some pictures with Erik and enjoy your time off.

I'm trying hard not to over do it. I made it to work at 1:00 today, and I won't be staying (too) late).  
 
Good news, I'm on half the pain medication and if the itchiness of healing is any indication of the rate of recovery, then I'm doing great!

DON'T overdo. DON'T stress yourself. It is forbidden. We' ll be watching you.  
 
Those are great news! May it be a speedy, easy, peaceful and wonderful recovery!!!

I Swear I put a smilie after the We'lll be watching yuo phrase on my previous message. Dunno why it didn't show. So... Smilie-smilie-smilie-smilie. There you go. Smilie again.

Take it slow, Mica! I'm really glad you're feeling better but I would hate for you to overdo it like I did. It's not much fun having a hole in the abdominal muscles.
 
Lot's of smilies from Boulder!

Mica .  
  Great news ! I am happy that you are on the road to recovery. The  take it slow protection vibes  are being sent from my location !
   
The best of the best and smiles for you ___

I am really trying hard on the taking it easy Rx. I swear I only forgot once about picking up heavy things and I moved a guitar (in a case) case about 10 feet before Mary yelled at me (most lovingly) to put it down.

LOL...and Alembics aren't known for being super-light .  
 
 You'll have plenty of time to move instruments around in the future...baby steps, eh?
 I'm sure by the next time you reach a palindrombic post number (110 from now) you'll be moving basses,(in cases).
 
We just need to keep distracting you with quasi-sensical posts and mostly pertinent questions.
: ))

Glad you're doing well.  Don't get hooked on the pain meds.

Hi Mica,
 
Glad to hear your recovery is coming along nicely!  I understand how hard it is to not do things right away--it's challenging to rest up, let alone actually sit and do nothing--when you're not used to living life like that!
 
All the best!
 
Eric

No meds today  
 
I did manage to get out . If you don't blink, you might even see Mary and me all blurry for a second. It was fun - but I had to sleep the whole weekend after that excursion.  
 
Only working half days so far this week. That's working good to get plenty of rest.

So the real question is: how close did you and Mary get to the alligator?  lol
 
Bill, tgo

Mica, rapid weight loss !!!!!!!, can I get one of those gallstones
 
Glad to see your doing better

Well wishes and positive energy being sent your way!

That guy looks just like John Mayer.
