Seamus slept at the foot of the bed. I was visited by Freddie just after I retired to my seated position in bed propped up by pillows. I motioned him into my lap, but he just stared as if to say, "Where's Mom? And who, exactly, are YOU?!?"

I'm having something interesting happen and I haven't a clue as to why. I've had "age spots" on the backs of my hands for some time now. One in particular on my right hand has been both large and dark. An hour ago or so I looked down at my right hand and noted that the large one (that had a bit of a scab in the corner from my scratching at something) was noticably paler that it had been even two days ago. And that all the others seem to be fading substantially as well.

Now I DID get several remedies -- on Friday from a friend who is an herbalist -- to encourage bone healing and to discourage pain. But the only one I've started using consistently was a homeopathic remedy for pain.

Of course, I'm also massaging vitamin E oil into the incision scar.

What's causing the age spots to fade? I am, of course, ecstatic! It's a major improvement in the appearance of my hands.

Or is it being in the Mudcat Recovery Ward?!?
