Well Hello
I thought I
would let you all know what's happening with me just now.
I have been
running 2 card making classes so that was taking a huge amount of time, as I
had to make up a new demo card then sort the papers out for around 15 people -
then I would have 2 or 3 people arrive when I didn't expect them or up to 6
just not turn up and I would be left with all these extra kits!
I had a letter
from the hospital regarding my operation, I had the date for the pre op and
then the op was just 4 days later.
Had the pre op
and was all sorted ready for the op when I had a call, less than 18 hours to
going in to say the op was cancelled as I had a water infection and MSSA so was
prescribed antibiotics and a body wash.
So after a week
of treatment I was clear and then my date was reset for 12th December - I got
dropped off at 3.40pm and made my way to the ward only to be told there was no
bed available so I would have to return at 7am the next day.
So at 8am on
Friday 13th December I went into theatre for a total knee replacement...all
went well and I was back on the ward just after lunchtime...I made good
progress so came home on Monday afternoon with strict instructions to rest,
rest, rest....and that's just what I am doing!
I am using
walking sticks and will be for around 3 - 6 months so I am pleased I now live
in a bungalow - no stairs!!!
I haven't been
in the craft room and so far haven't missed it.
Today I sat in
the kitchen and with Pete's help we made a couple of dozen mince pies, a fruit
loaf and a banana with walnut cake...
But I spent
this evening suffering for it so tomorrow I will be doing nothing but sitting
with the leg well elevated.
And now its just
after 11pm so time to hobble off to bed I think.
See you again soon
