Recovery, Knitting & Dogs

Friday was part two of operation hill billy. Prior to Friday I thought this would be a three part process but things aren't working out that way.

Apparently the bone loss was so much so that they had to do a lot of bone grafting and now that has to heal before they drill the screw into place.

I have to wait six months for the bone to heal and the screw to go in.

Six months.

That'll put us at almost a full year for this process.

This my weekend has been laying low, snuggling with the dogs, knitting on blanket number four, and eating all manner of soft, almost liquid foods.

Instant cream of chicken is my new fave...

Thank goodness the pattern for Malt is simple enough that I can still knit and not totally jack it up when I take my Vicodin...

Happy Sunday!

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home. Self-Isolating. Safe Distancing. For three four months. My last day at my office was March 12. If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster. But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot. Need to make another and send it to my nephew Ragnar likes the squirrel and dino Ragnar thinks this tiny cat is an attach tiger but it's just a cat. Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

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...
