Hello my friends. I'm sorry I've been away for an entire week. Not a lot to say I guess.
I have been knitting baby hats. I got six out of one skein of yarn. One had to be made preemie size to be able to finish it.
Two hats made from Teresa's crochet pattern and another one "on the hook".
I had a baby blanket half done but decided I didn't like it so I ripped it out completely. I have another one started now.
I've had a bit of a trying week. Lots of pain and lots of tears. I don't know why I keep crying all the time. I'm NOT normally like his. I have started taking Bach Flowers, Rescue Remedy and it seems to be helping. Nita swears by it. I don't know if Dennis would think it's helping though. He's so frustrated. Men fix things. He wants to fix me.
I talked to the nurse this morning at the cardiologists office. She said my recovery will take a bit longer than normal for a couple of reasons. I don't have much fat where the pacemaker is. (That's the only place on my body without much fat!) So it will apparently take longer to "settle in". Also, my surgery was pretty traumatic. Almost 4 hours instead of 1 1/2 that was planned. I still have lots of swelling and bruising, especially under my left arm. Try shaving there ladies! Ha! Too much information?
I have gone to the lake a couple of times with Nita and last weekend with Dennis and Chloe and although I love it there, I'm still in pain and frustrated at not doing anything. I made potato salad this morning and it wore me out. It's supposed to be 101F for the next 3 days, so I think I'll be hibernating either at home in the air conditioning or in the trailer in the air conditioning!
Now, before I bring you all down to my level of blah with all of my "ick", I'm going to stop writing. I have been reading your blogs and I'm enjoying your summer and travels immensely.
"Search me oh God, and know my heart: test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24
Blessings,
Betsy
