Well, my house is like a hosp ward right now. I have discharge papers spread all over the kitchen counter, meds, and wound treatment supplies. Between Scottie and Bill, I'm really having to revive my old nursing skills. They both look miserable but Scottie is downright pathetic with his cone that he keeps banging into everything. Foxy and I did get a little sewing time yesterday when everyone was down for their naps.
This morning we're taking the car to Tacoma to get new rear brakes. We'll also swing into the Sew 'n' Vac to discuss my issues with Chip. I am expecting them to send him back to Seattle. They did say they would put a rush on him if that happens. I'll have to get out my old travelin' Bernie, "Stitch".
This afternoon, if nothing else pops up I will sew up a few Nov Lotto blocks. We'll see which machine I use. I also have a beautiful Featherweight but I haven't used it for years, have no place to even display it, so I think I'll be putting it up for sale when we return from Texas in the spring.
BECCA - I'm sure thinking of little Brodee and his family today and offering up prayers for a smooth surgery and an uneventful recovery for him. I hope they can remove the shunt. And thinking of you, too, as you go in for your crown on Thursday.
CAROL - I guess people still think of you, after your years of experience, as the go-to person. It's actually a compliment if you think about it. Perhaps a bothersome compliment, but still, a compliment.
LORI - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What are your plans to celebrate the day? My Bill is happy to hear he has another Bill who feels his pain. And that's exactly how he described it = feels like an ingrown toenail on his thumb. But we're kind of thinking he has a small sliver, thorn, or metal shaving imbedded so deeply that we can't really see it. Sometimes, when I'm inspecting it under the lighted magnifier, I can almost see a fleeting shadow of something. This happened to my younger sister's DH. He ignored it and ended up in PCU for 9 days, had surgery, and went home on IV antbx for 2 more weeks. Doctors told him at one point they weren't sure he was going to make it. Keeping him in mind, we're watching this closely. I think it looks slightly improved this morning.
Supper. I guess we'll have leftover Hungarian goulash. We weren't too thrilled with is last night and Bill said it was Ok with him if I never make it again.
But that he could take it for another night or two. So - that will be supper for tonite. yum.How about you?
