Frustration Level: High

Mostly for Mr. Brown.
We had his follow up yesterday to see how the ol' orbit is healing.
The good news is that it has healed... a little
Not as much as we had hoped.
The middle part healed so now when they put the glow-dye in it looks like he has an hour glass
ulcer in his eye.

What does this mean for Mr. Brown?

Three more weeks in the cone.


Dr. B rubbed the still healing areas with a dry q-tip to kind agitate it to heal after numbing his eye.

So another round of antibiotic eye drops three times a day
More pain meds
More anti-anxiety meds (all natural) I might start taking them too.
More $$$
And three more weeks in the satellite dish.


Three. More. Weeks.

His frustration level is high.
My frustration level is high

We're all sporting semi-circle bruises from him running into us.


 Hopefully on November 15th it'll all be healed. The cone can come off and we can go back to normal.

I think if it's not better this time it'll be a trip to the specialist for a contact lens bandage.

All happy thoughts and prayers to St. Francis de Asisi would be welcome by me and Mr. Brown

As of tomorrow morning at this time he and I will both be incapacitated.

Tomorrow is phase two of 'operation hill billy'
Back in May we took a broken molar out.
Tomorrow they put the titanium screw into my jaw along with some bone grafting.
My surgery is at 8:00 a.m. they knock me out.
D has saved a ton of Duck Dynasty for me to watch tomorrow while I recuperate from the anesthesia and we've stocked up on soft foods... anything hard, crunchy or sharp will be off the menu for about six to eight weeks.

I might post a little blurb but remember I'll be semi conscious, there's no telling what I could come up with!

Oh wow, good luck to you Carmel. I had the same situation a few years back. Healing takes awhile, but you'll be okay, I know you will.

Thank you! I appreciate this! It's hard for me because I can help him with his frustration... My tooth has 6 months to heal before the put the screw in...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...
