Post Surgery!
Well it is Thursday of the 4th of July week and I am home recuping from gall bladder surgery. Now, I am not one of those babies about pain. There were a whole lot of people who lied to me about this surgery! I was told over and over again that being it is laproscopic surgery I would be good as new in 3 days....bull cr%#@! I had two caeserean's with my pregnancies and although this isn't quite as painful as that it was a close second! Can't wear pants at all yet...rubs against two of the incisions and hurts. Can't sleep on my side because that pulls everything and that hurts. Just a pain in the putukiss! Looking forward to it being over alltogether. I am also still recuping from throwing my back out last Tuesday night after a sewing class. I was putting my machine back in the car and lo and behold I hear this "pop" and feel this "pinch" in my back. By the time I got home I was in agony. I had to cancel Thursday nights class and then again on Saturday. The "pinching" pain is still there if I go up and down steps or turn the wrong way so I am thinking it is sciatica. My left thigh goes numb as well if I stand too long in one position. I gotta tell you this getting older stuff is for the birds...certainly not golden years.
Even with all that going on I have been sewing. I am hand sewing on my crazy quilt which I will post when I finish it. It is made from 30's fabrics. I also was working on the wool BOM we are doing. So I have been busy with it all. I think I will go through some of my pictures and post a few of the quilts I have done in the last year or so.
The bottom one was made for my 6 yr. old grandaughter for her "big girl" bed. It is Joanna's Garden from the Elm Creek books. Above that is a cardinal holiday wall hanging and above that is a Christmas holly red/white checkerboard designed by Barbara Fein at our local quilt shop. Above that is a quilt called "hanging gardens" that we did as a class and above that is a stained glass window effect done as a stack n whack. At the top are some stocking ornaments I donated for the craft fair at church last year.
The three pictures above those are a flannel that I made three of for my sons-in-laws, a pillow for Christmas and a picture of all my kids with their Christmas gift quilts for their beds.
Last year was a real busy year for me in the sewing room. I made so many more that I don't have pictures for. When I look back I wonder how I found the time (and money) to do them all. I know that I loved doing it!
Tomorrow will be my first day driving after the surgery....guess where I am going? That's right....my Friday Night Sit N Sew with the girls! Can't let a little thing like a major operation stop me from going. Off to rest up for it.........good night!
