Oh me oh my - and losing parts
So, i wended up in the ER about 3 weeks ago for a gallbladder attach. I know. So very romantic. It kinda sucked, actually. but anyway...
I was referred to a surgeon to talk about having it out - and he did, indeed, recommend this. It's not just gallstones, I learned. It's my whole stinkin' gallbladder that just wasn't working right. No wonder I felt the way I did!
Fast forward to last Friday and I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy - outpatient - which means I got to go home by 3pm. on drugs. tired. Sore. SO sore. The last week has made me realize how non-routine "routine surgery" really is. I'm a fan of keeping my other parts, thank you. BUT I am starting to feel better and more like I can do things - and eat ALL the things. I was starting to go mad cause I was too tired to DO anything and too awake to sleep.
Whine Whine - and now I'm doing much better. Ah me, I don't do patient well.
On other fronts, I've been prepping to collect natural dyes and may have found a couple of resources for fiber and yarn (yippy!) for my natural dye lots - or at least mentally prepping.
Also, I've managed to get a shrug pattern done and am having it tested - tiny bit anxious about this one cause I don't usually publish patterns....so here we go.
