My guess is that Wendy did the surgery and put clay in Dans knee...

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the pottery. We have the capability to make the world's first ceramic man. Dan Cevola will be that man. Better (at mopping)...stronger (at slip-shaking)...faster (at dust-busting with an outdoor hose)."
Geez . . . I don't know if I owe apologies to the writers of "The Six-Million-Dollar Man," Terry Pratchett or Team Cevola, but, at any rate, get well soon, Dan.

Wendy, wishing Dan the very best. Missed a few days of posts, now getting the update. Hopefully the healing will be easy and quick. Maybe he can enjoy the process- just take it easy on him and don't work him so hard! Just kidding....

MahaloTiki Ahhh, he'll like that. I have a bad cold now so we'll see you when we are both well.
Tavarua Tiki I will pass on you well wishes.
LoriLovesTiki we always ask the person who doesn't have to scrub in to take photos for us. Most of the time it is the anesthesiologist. We put our name and address on the camera and hand it over when instructions are being given. I wasn't in the surgery suite. I would have loved to have been in there but back seat drivers are not allowed.
hang10tiki next up a knee mug and the tools will be the straws.
Professor G ("Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the pottery. We have the capability to make the world's first ceramic man. Dan Cevola will be that man. Better (at mopping)...stronger (at slip-shaking)...faster (at dust-busting with an outdoor hose).") Dan laughed at this, a really good sound. He wants to know if you can put it to music?
TikiAno catch up is good it makes me smile.
Progress Report:
Taking care of Dan and having a bad cold hasn't stopped me from working. All the germs will be killed in the kiln. I started the day by painting the insides of the jaguars.
Now the outside of the bowl has been painted with a gray glaze that will seep into the crevasses to show detail. It will be a bit darker when it fires.
I worked on Vampiress RN's Flamingo Bob. She left having the face white or pink up to me. The beak and eyes will be black on the front and back. We decided against white because it would make it look like a penguin. Scuba Bob now has all but his white face painted in under-glazes and clear glaze.
Thanks for all the well wishes. Dan really appreciates them. I'm looking forward to glazing some more today. Cheers, Wendy
PS now I'm off to infirmary to post one more silly photo

If I lived closer, I'd happily pour mugs and mop your floor while Dan's laid up.
Speedy recovery, Dan!

That's a heck of a bump on your shin (infirmary pic)
I hope you both get well soon...

Atomicchick it's fun to see how the wishes of others reach out and grabs others. SM Bacon came up with Pac Man Bob and hang10tiki and MP came up with Suffering Bob. I get to fill wishes without having to come up with them. Thank you everyone.
ebtiki may Dan have a rain check in case you move here?
Holler Waller thank you we are working on it.
hang10tiki I conked out yesterday and couldn't move from the couch. Dan limped to the kitchen twice and microwaved TV dinners for us. I felt so guilty to let him do it but he has stamina after all the mopping and mold lifting.
I changed the dressing for Dan's knee and he's doing really well.
I worked on and off during the day to paint the white and black faces.
I'm so happy to be able to dry each layer faster on the heater. I locked my images but I don't know what it did because they still rotate back here.
The last two are done.
I loaded the top layer of the kiln.
The Temple of the Jaguar Bowl for Philot is done. He requested swirls of color. I hope he likes what I've done. First is a glaze that fires with black, red, orange and yellow.
Next a glaze that fires yellow and red spots.
Then a deep orange was added.
Then a deep red.
I added more to the black so that it would show up the best.
Into the kiln to fire.
I also put the Severed Head mold into the kiln shed so the heat would help the pieces to dry out.
I wish Dan and I were well enough to jump on the next projects but that's not yet a reality. Doing this work
set me back a bit but I'm so excited to have this wave in the kiln. When we are well I'll start on the rest
of the Wish List #3 projects.
Thanks for the visit and all the "get wells" for Dan and I, Wendy

This is your brain
This is your brain on fire!  Can't wait to see how that turns out.
Get well soon Wendy & Dan
