Lap of Luxury

A friend told me prior to surgery, that the best thing about her recovery from a similar surgery was her beautiful, long fingernails. This was the positive, luxurious side of recovery--the inability to do a lot of work--resulting in gorgeous nails. Granted, I chose an obnoxious color to highlight my nails (orange-what was I thinking?), but I thought it would be fun to post a "during" recovery photo and a "back to reality" photo.
