My husband came home from hospital on Friday afternoon and is recuperating at home for a month before seeing the neurologist again in mid-February and the physician at the beginning of March. He is doing very well and its going to be a long month for him as his screen time is limited and he may not work.
Cee’s photo challenge this week is Hands and Paws. Here are a few pictures of mainly paws. I don’t seem to be much in the habit of taking pictures of people’s hands.

She lives in an animal sanctuary.Fondant kitten with paws in the air in a fondant poppyMy circus strongman’s clenched hands were quite difficult to model and attach
Good to know your husband is home and recuperating. It will be a long month with limitations on what he can do. Sending good thoughts to both of you. 🙏🎶💘
Such good news your hubby is back home Robbie…. I hope he continues to mend and rest …
He is in the best of Paws/hands my friend with your tender loving care… 🙂
Loved the photos and the fondant figures… Sending LOVE and well wishes your way ❤
Hi,
I’m a cat lover so of course I love the poses from the nice huge cats. 😊
Hoping that your hubby doesn’t get bored and become impatient. He needs to heal completely.

Hi Pat, I am also a cat lover. He has to give himself the proper time to recover and he knows that. I told him that if he complains, I’ll make him proof my books – haha!
Hi Liz, it is a relief to have him home and I think we’ve dealt with the post hospital issues now. I think all the medical dramas I’ve dealt with in my life prepared me well to deal with this situation and do the right things when needed. It made all the difference to his recovery. I love cats in every shape and form.
I am beyond excited to hear that Terrence is at home and on the road to recovery. I know that your presence will be especially comforting to him. This unanticipated journey is not for the faint of heart. You entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love those paws!!!
HI Rebecca, Terence is doing amazingly well. We were so lucky to be in the doctor’s rooms with him on a drip when he had the seizure. The nurse put the medication straight through the line and that made the world of difference. I was also able to keep him on the bed by putting my whole body over him and the bed. The doctor said that was the only way someone my size could keep someone his size on the bed so I was pleased I done the right thing.
Hi Pete, he is sleeping much better at home so he is already a bit restless, but he’ll just have to put up with it. I’ll get him to proof my new poetry book – haha!
Such adorable paws and cats. Happy to hear your hubby is home, Robbie. You’ve certainly had more than your share of family health challenges over the past year.
Well, maybe all my previous experiences were training for this experience. I was able to handle it well and understood what the condition was and how it needed to be treated. God works in mysterious ways.
Thank you, Cindy. The strong man was one of the statuettes I made for my mom’s circus wedding anniversary cake in September. The dormouse in a teacup and teapot cake were for mom’s 84th birthday in October.
He has made an excellent recovery and is now able to read books and watch the odd movie. While he was in hospital, he listened to audio books that I downloaded for him. I would also go crazy without books. They saw me through the pandemic.
Books did, didn’t they?
I hadn’t thought of the audio book option…
(Which I don’r use. I like the print and paper. And I read much faster (took some fast reading classes) than any speech.
But all options are good.
I also read exceptionally fast. I like to have classic books read to me so I buy those as audio books. I enjoy the language and descriptions in classic books more at the slower pace of the reader.
Interesting. Fast reading is a key asset when one deals with a lot of written stuff. (Law is one of those).
Now, it’s a good point to chose a slower pace… (But then I would read less books… Darn…) 😉
Husband ok? One day at a time?
This post made me remember a movies I watched recently about an artist who charged extra if he had to do hands. He said hands are the most difficult part of the body to paint.
Hi Bernadette, I do believe that is a common view among artists. The most difficult project I’ve done, fondant art wise, was the sugar dogs. Getting the heads and jowls correct was difficult and I am a perfectionist.
Hi Robbie, I’m so glad your husband is at home recovering. Can you adjust your work schedule to have more time at home? Your paws are wonderful, from fondant to lions. Sending you and your family my best wishes.
Hi Jennie, thank you, I’m glad you like the pictures. I am currently working from home. I usually only go into the office twice a week but I won’t do that until after the next doctor’s appointment. We work for the same company so everyone is being very supportive.
These are beautiful photos of paws, Robbie, and of course, your art is wonderful. So glad your husband is home now and I pray his recovery is smooth. Hugs 💞
Yay upon your husband coming home!
Best wishes to him and all his loving family!
Your paw pics are amazing. Who has paw pics like these? No one!
Okay, I’m on the Sr Chocolate journey.
I read Sir Chocolate and the strawberry cream berries last night.
I’m letting things settle in. I will probably have 1 or 2 questions on each book. May I annoy you with email questions? My questions are odd, but pertinent.
Hi Resa, I am thrilled you like my paws. I particularly like the dormouse 😊. You are most welcome to ask me questions about the books. You ca email me at sirchoc[at]outlook[dot]com. I’m sure I will learn from you questions too 💗.
Hi Robbie, I’m glad your husband is home now. You’re right that it will be a long month of waiting for his next appointment. I hope he’s able to rest. I loved the fondant kitten with the paws up in the poppy – so cute!
Robbie, such great news about your husband now being able to be home to recuperate further. It’s a good sign when he becomes bored and longs to do more – hoping for very good news from further doctor appointments. You’re both in my thoughts.
I love your paw pictures – of course, there would be lions and your creation for your mother’s birthday is exquisite and cute! The strongman is terrific and I wish for such a waist! Haha!
Hi Annika, we have been very fortunate with Terence’s good recovery. There don’t seem to be any major problems although there are some smaller ones. I am a big lion fan and you are right about strong man’s slender waist 😂
Some wonderful pictures of paws. So glad your husband is home and recuperating. I hope he doesn’t get bored.
