long day...

It's going to be a long day.
It already feels like a long day.
It's just me and my Gabby today.

Mr. Brown went in for a follow up on his corneal ulcer and instead of getting better it did the opposite.

that's right, it got worse.

way worse.

the good



news, because there is good news. His ear infection has cleared up.

the downside? He's getting a corneal keratotomy on his left eyes... they are basically scraping a grid onto the ulcer to promote a healing response.

Gabby doesn't like being at home when Mr. Brown isn't home.

neither do I for that matter.

I rearranged the furniture in the living room because the boy is coming home with a satellite on his melon so it'll be easier for him to walk around... it's going to be wicked for a while here.

on a positive note, the transformation of the guest room to guest/office/knitting room has begun.
I still have my desk from 1985 (thanks mom) and the chair, and the poem I wrote in 1985 and I've set that up for a work space. The open closet is housing all most of my yarn and it's kind of nice having it right next to me.


 




It's nice having Gabby next to me too

Happy Saturday

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
