Just a quick post letting you all know that I survived surgery. Tonsil and adenoid removal in your thirties is quite a different creature than as a kid, believe me. My uvula has been so swollen that I'm only able to do broths and a bit of yogurt here and there. I swear I have a tiny penis hanging from the back of my throat - which is NOT a good thing. lol.
I'm back at work today, taking it slow and trying to catch up on things. I came in briefly on Saturday to dig through the email and snail mail messages, which has helped me in not feeling overwhelmed. I am exhausted, though. Since I'm not legally allowed to drive under the influence of my meds, I had to wait until I got to work to take them, which had me crying on my way in this morning. As soon as I got to work, I popped them in my mouth, but that means I'm stuck plugging away for at least six hours to allow the meds to wear off, so I can drive myself home!
Not much knitting or moving was done during my healing process, just a small start on the transition gloves. I'm really digging it, except that I'm now tinkering back the top portion since I've misread the instructions twice. I think I get what they're saying now, so I should be able to complete the left glove and start on the second by this weekend. A great first color work for sure.
So this is an old 2007 FO, but a new pic. My Sister had surgery a couple days ago to remove little polyps on her vocal chords. Being a songstress, this was a decision that she labored over for awhile. The surgery should allow her to continue singing, but she is unable to talk at all for at least 7-10 days. Since she had the surgery on Monday, she'll be able to start eating hard food by tomorrow (which she is pumped about). At any rate, her lack of vocal communication has left her with a bit more time on her hands. This includes her sending me a pic of the Anthropolgie inspired Reversible Winter Capelet that I made for her this past March even though she started wearing it immediately. Either way, I'm happy to finally see this on her. Since she lives in Vermont, I won't get the opportunity for an in-person viewing until Christmas! If you're actually reading this Pam P. - Heeeeyyyyy!
