OMG well maybe set the foot pedal and extension thingy up on the wheel when not in use?  Of course I'm an abnormally clean potter and I always leave my station shiny.  Wouldn't work for someone who cleans Simon Leach style.  I mean I love the guy but his work space makes me shudder ...
Glad the damage wasn't worse.

My new doctor ( woman) asks me why I don't like coming to see her.  It is hard to explain how horribly doctors have treated me even as a child.   My son was treated badly by our family doctor.    My son is brilliant but was having a hard time in school.  I watched a program on ADD,  it answered all of the questions about my son.   I called a specialist and he said my son had to have a full physical before he would see him.   Our family doctor asked what the physical was for,  when we told him he said there was no such thing as ADD that our son was spoiled.   We went to the specialist,   he tested our son and said it was the worse case he had ever seen.  His mind was working so fast he couldn't focus on anything.  Once my son started on Ritalin his grades went from D's and F's to A's and B's in one semester.   The next year our family doctor was named Doctor of the Year in Kansas,  disgusting turn of events.  The company my husband worked for had a off brand insurance  and he was the only doctor we could find that would accept it.  Would have changed doctors in a heartbeat.   Denice
 
 
 
 

I am happy that you finally got a diagnosis.   I went through the same thing with doctors,  they would imply that I was a hypochondriac.    I was finally diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 55,  my MRI showed that I had it for a long time.   I first started having symptoms in my early 20's,  my husband and I are 70 years old.   We are trying to live as much life that we can everyday.   We drove to Kansas City today and bought a new Challenger with all the bells and whistles.  I have a mural project that I am starting to work on in my studio.   Live a full life.  Denice

Good to hear that you have it under control and can make the best of your time going forward! Have fun in the mud! Having gotten a half inch of rain yesterday, I can play in the mud on my farm and the mud in my studio...

It's sad how many medical conditions get written off as "mental problems" rather than diagnosing and treating the physical malfunction. Glad you now have it under control.

sorry to hear that-I looked it up sounds not very fun
