A Decade...


10/6 will mark a decade married to D.

As a preamble to our anniversary I like to find out what the 'traditional' and 'modern' gifts are for each year we are married.

This year the 'Traditional' is Tin or Aluminum
The 'Modern' is Diamonds

D said, looks like you're getting a case of beer and a disposable turkey pan.
Wrong!
My friend states that Tin and Aluminum mean a trip on an airplane. I liked her answer better.

After work yesterday I had an appointment with the oral surgeon to discuss the implant to replace the broken tooth they took out back in May.
Looks like there will be some bone grafting in addition to screwing the titanium implant into my jaw.

FYI if you aren't aware, oral surgery isn't covered under your medical insurance it's covered under your dental. My dental coverage for these types of procedures is less than savory so my out of pocket for this procedure will be $3824.00. Due the morning I check in.


I emailed D this morning and said: 'looks like I'm getting titanium for our anniversary this year'

Hey, at least it's not an Aluminum roasting pan from the grocery store!

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...

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?

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
