I had surgery last Friday and I thought spending a weekend in bed would be a treat. Well, it got old real quick and I’m ready to move around and get back to my life. Unfortunately, it looks like I’ll be attached to my crutches for at least another week. Meanwhile, I’ll attempt to work through the nausea and drowsiness - gotta love drug side effects!

But there is an up side. Being laid-up and practically immobile affords more than enough time to catch up on some blogs. Here’s what I read this weekend…
