9/9/21

Thursday after a long day of work my hands ached. That evening my right thumb palm was sore and barely pink. I noticed a tiny puncture wound. It hurt all night, keeping me from sleeping. The following day I called a hand surgeon Dr. Mark Henry. I had an infection and the puncture wound had already closed. It needed to be surgically cleaned out. The wound was left open and cleaned again Monday and Thursday.

I will not be able to work on the piece for 3 weeks. My adult son Griffin offered to fly in to town and be my hands to finish.

Below is my garage studio as I left it.
