down time

I have been doing no sewing and very little crocheting since my surgery.
I'm working on a little doll blanket for my great neice while watching Elf this evening.
Its soft and pink and easy double crochet. 

I get my stitches out Tuesday and I can't wait, 
     need to get some vitamin E on those little scars.
My skin is dying for lotion! 
  
We had our first snow today, Three or four inches. Looks pretty on the pine trees.
If I wasn't afraid of falling I would go take pictures. Hope I can add some later.

Are you ready for Christmas?
I have my shopping done, except for a few little stocking stuffers
Have not done any baking, not sure if I will. 
Not sure how I will wrap with out the use of my left arm.  
Gift bags are easy, but I love a wrapped present.

Shoulder surgery.

I had to be at the hospital at 5:30
a.m.
 That means we had to leave here at 3:30.
and I am not a morning person.
And on a Monday only made it worse. 

But so worth it to travel 2 hours for an excellent surgeon. 

All went well. Since didn't know what he was doing to my shoulder until he got in there, I didn't either. But now I do. He repaired my rotator cuff(not a complete tear), did a subacromial decompression to correct the impingement of my bisept tendon, and also removed a bone spur. I have 4 little incisions. 8 stitches. 
Am in a regular sling this time. ( In May I had the right side done and was in that awful immoblizer for 2 months!) Its really aggrivating my neck, but everything does. 

Slow going for the next several weeks.  My husband it being a totally sweet nurse. I am a lucky girl :) 

Thankful for oneline shopping this year! 

My handsome son and his beautiful bride.
What a wonderful celebration! 

ain't nobody got time for that!

Spent Sunday afternoon in the ER.

Apparently my thoracic spine is as mess too. 

I feel like a big old Charlie Brown ugh

or a little one.
Gotta get better before my son's wedding on Saturday!
