I'm trying to stay busy, keeping my mind off all the pain. I spent Friday night in Emergency because I couldn't take it any more. They think I have a pinched nerve in my hip or lower back, which is causing the severe pain in my hip, side and back, as well as the pain down my leg into my foot. After spending the entire night there, they sent me home with prescriptions for pain killers and muscle relaxants, as I wait for an appointment for an MRI to confirm what exactly is going on.
In the meantime it helps to have something to do. I'm almost finished Iris' new pink gown. This was the last photo I took of her, but it's a lot further now. Almost done in fact.

I also started a bunch of birthday cakes, as there's several dolls who are due their first year anniversary 'birthday' parties. There's even some who are approaching their second anniversaries without ever having had a party. Of course I could always use cakes I already have, but it's nice to actually make some new ones, so that's what I'm doing.
There's enough foam circles for six cakes - four double tier, and two singles. Today I get to sand the final layer of drywall compound. They required four layers - first the outside, then the top, then the outsides again, and finally a second layer on top. Each layer needs a whole day to dry before I can sand it and move on to the next layer. Then the fun begins.
