Glad you got some answers @Jae and it sounds like fairly good news? Hopefully the recovery from that surgery won't involve much pain.
 
What has changed a great deal is the quality of pain relief available. Opioid crisis aside, if properly prescribed and used, opiates are great for short term pain relief (as from surgeries of various sorts).
 
Thanks all. For the surgery I'll be having next week, the doctor's going to give me general anesthetic.
 
Just coming back from my first pottery class. Throwing clay on the wheel. Wonderful experience. I had to think about the image of God as a potter- and how you have to keep your hands still to move the clay where you want it to go, rather than wobbleling along with it when it isn't centered. A bit like parenting, too- you give the guidelines, but have to be not to pushy...

Work in the boule as clay taur Us? Don't wobble the perfect once ...will see the dance as evile item! Then it too passes ...
 
I have loved pottery; both hand-building and throwing on the wheel. I found that centring tried my patience greatly. I still have a few pieces that I've made over the years; one benefit of clumsily-made, thick, "early" pieces is that they are damned near unbreakable...
 
GEO fee is adept at discussions of pottery and stuff adeptly buried in clay vessels ... pure metaphor right out of the mysts of time ... the jaerd are sometimes hard to crack to find the dark pearls ... obviously an obscure reference to the powers of abstract nature ... thus Shadowy!

I was introduced to the potter's wheel in OT school. Haven't tried it since but I think it might be lots of fun and very satisfying.

Pottery metaphors abound.

We did hand building in OT school, didn't have a wheel. I actually had a craft as part of my exam and had to build four food containers of a certain size with a lid in two days. ( We also had to write a treatment plan and treat a patient as part of the exam, besides the multiple choice knowledge part). I never used all the crafts I learned, since I didn't work in mental health or workshops, but it was nice to be creative. Being creative besides problems solving skills is at the core of an OT soul anyway.
