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...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

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...

I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
