The Kitchen Table

Thank you!

15 years ago

I had a rough night with nausea and grogginess, but the "neuro" stuff was fine. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good, so they let me come home. My CT scan showed everything to be "perfect", so I just have to get a lot of rest and keep quiet. I'm having trouble with rattling and buzzing in my head, and once it sounded like a heartbeat in there. But I'm super glad to be home.

The surgeon removed the bulk of the tumour but he said there is some in the sinus cavity at the top of my head that he can't access, so I will be having radiation. But the work he did went really well, and that's the important thing right now.

Thank you all very much for your kind words and kind thoughts. It really means a lot to me.

That sounds like pretty good news, Susan. I'm so happy you got to go home. You have a super-sweet daughter for letting us know your surgery was over. ((Susan and DD))

Hey francy, I'm using EK paint in the trim formulation--the ICI Dulux Lifemaster 9200 (see link below), mixed with a tad bit of Floetrol. The paint mostly levels out (DH says it does completely--he's amazed how easy it was for me to get a good finish on melamine), in fact I'd say it's more uniform than the other surfaces I've done with a brush (it occurs to me that I hadn't used floetrol in the other trim I painted--Devine trim paint), but there is a bit of a texture, just an imperceptible bit. But it's all over, not linear. I really like the look of it, but you might not. I think Michael had said to go over it with a brush if you want to get rid of the "stipple", but I would rather leave it as it is--the risk is greater for me than the potential reward. Maybe trying Floetrol will give you greater control, longer workability and leveling than you have now? Just a possibility. When I first tried it I poured out a little paint into a yogurt container and mixed a tiny amount of floetrol into it, just to see what I thought of the different consistencies/workabilities. I much prefer life with Floetrol now. :) AND life with the Jumbo-Koter.

I have one of the West Elm trays too (mine is teal)... I've had it at least 7 yr and am pretty happy with it but don't let it sit in water (not that you would!). Mine was accidentally left outside (under a covered patio) during an overnight storm and it did get wet. By the time I discovered it, the finish had lifted a bit. My error.. but wanted to give you the head's up. It is obviously not intended for outdoor use and normally, I wouldn't have let it sit outside. I love the champagne finish!
