another conversation...

disclaimer: this conversation means no offense to any group. in fact, it's possible i'd fit in quite well with the mentioned group, nor am i classifying people who made the choice that i am choosing not to make.


The Convo between me and my adoring spouse:

me: so I called the oral surgeon and made my consult appt. I also got an estimate for the surgery, anesthesia and the implant. all in all about $3400.00
adoring spouse: well that's what I said it would cost...

*i made a not so nice comment that i'm leaving out here. chalk it up to artistic license and assuming *

adoring spouse: what would happen if you just didn't replace the tooth?
me: that's not going to happen.

adoring spouse: but what would be the ramifications if you didn't replace it...

me: none, but it's a non-issue since i'm having the implant

me: i'm not a hillbilly!

adoring spouse: just because you have all your teeth doesn't mean you aren't a hillbilly...

at this juncture can i point out my disappointment that my first shot at getting implants and it's a tooth...
not that i need them in any other area. i'm just saying.

either way the yarn budget is going to be taking a hit...

anyone guess why i'm more gungho to get this surgery than the one i need on my elbow?

because i don't knit with my teeth.

Mr. Brown has volunteered to be my caretaker... (picture taken months ago... surgery is not scheduled yet)

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
