This is the last thing I finished weaving before my surgery. I wound another warp and have it on the loom for when I'm able to go back upstairs. My surgery was Thursday April 11th and I'm still a little unsteady on my pins. I plan to have the warp threaded, sleyed and ready to weave by the time the boot comes off.
Ah yes, the boot. It's very large and I an only weight-bearing on my left heel - very awkward and slow, but it gets me to the bathroom without crutches.
Periodically I'm to open it up and apply ice which is more awkward than walking!
Ian and Maddie have been very attentive. The Norco has knocked me out for the first several days and I've been a champion sleeper. Yesterday I started weaning off it and onto the Tylenol. At this point I'm only using Tylenol and still sleeping a lot, though I'm finally able to knit a little.
But my days look pretty much like this. The books I brought home from the library are too challenging for my brain so I've put a book by Liane Moriarty on hold and Ian has gone to pick it up for me. He probably needs a break from the sick house :-) A friend had warned me about the level of books I selected for this time and even suggested that I stick to YA, but did I listen???
My friend Ana fixed an amazing meal and brought it over Friday for dinner. What a wonderful gift!! We just got a text from our friends Sue and Michael who would like to bring dinner tomorrow. Slowly slowly this is moving forward. I see the doc in follow-up next Wednesday.
Meanwhile son Matt sends me occasional pictures of Delaney who is beYOUtiful!!

Hurray for recuperation! Sleeping is good; that's when your body does the most healing. Hope you're walking comfortably again soon!
