Changes...

Not to the blog or knitting. This is a little more personal...

I've had some tummy trouble the past few months.
I've always had issues with dairy but it wasn't bad.
Recently it's become bad. I've done a little digging and read on a few sites that having an allergy to gluten can exacerbate lactose intolerance. So before seeing the doctor I'm going to to change my diet for the next week. No gluten, no dairy, meat only in small amounts probably once a day...

Now the 'trouble' I'm having is really more discomfort and an upset bloated tummy feeling...

The website I'm gathering recipe ideas from and inspiration is Oh She Glows by Angela Lidden. She's a vegan blogger and recipe creator.
I've made quite a few of her dishes and they are wonderful. I'm looking forward to this experiment, mostly so I feel better :)

Tomorrows lunch is a quinoa brown rice black bean salad with a spicy fresh jalapeño lime dressing that I whipped up...

Stay tuned.
Let 'Operation Digestion' begin.

Also consider diverticulitus,(sp), I once ate too many raspberries, pesky little seeds.

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
