Now that is a true shopaholic speaking here. I had to laugh when you you said you sent your hubby to get your plates. I could see myself doing the same thing! lol. I'm so sorry you have to endure this but like you said, at least you don't have to go to work like this. Now you will have to just take it easy and enjoy your time off your feet doing you mosaics.
Wishes for a speedy recovery.
