Home and Healing

I've been home from surgery since early Wednesday evening. Thankfully there was less reconstruction then originally thought.

Things are going well. I finally got my pain medications straightened out after a scary Tuesday.
My hubby Steve is taking real good care of me. The perfect nurse!  I've seen my physical therapist and she'll be back for 3 days a week for several weeks. So, I'm headed towards healing and health.

I pass by my Studio every day and want to create,  but with the medications right now, it's hard to stay focused. Hopefully someday soon. 

The photo is of my CPM machine that was delivered today. ( the photo didn't download) I'll need to us this 4 times a day for 2 hours each time.  I'm not its going to be relaxing, but I know it's an important art of the healing process.

Take care and have a CRAFTY weekend.

Check...

A wonderful Resurrection Sunday yesterday - check

Finished the laundry - check

Dusted & Vacuumed (well, Steve vacuumed) - check

Cleaned the Bathrooms - check

Washed the kitchen floor - check

Took the dog to the Vet to be boarded - check

ALL in preparation for my Total Reconstructive Knee Surgery today here in sunny California.

I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but it needs to be done. I fell in August of last year and collapsed the partial implant I had in 2007. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with pain since. So it is time.

They tell me that I will only be in the hospital for two days compared to 8 days 7 years ago in NCI'm happy! I would rather be home.

With all that said... I will not be posting any cards for several weeks, maybe longer.  I might pop on to keep you updated, but that might be it.

I hope you will keep coming back to see if I have a  card or project for you.

Keep ON CRAFTING!
