surgery update
surgery on the 15th went well, say both surgeons who worked on me for 2 hours. They did a buckle around the eye, did laser and cryo and filled it with gas. Can't see through the gas, which is OK as the pain and eye pressure meds they have me on, are keeping me asleep most of the time. I saw one doc today who said it all looks fine, but the test is when the gas finally dissipates in another week or 10 days - it's big bubble they put in - and if the other repair work will hold after the gas to help support the retina.

So, at least 9 more days lying on my face yet.....

I just got my new VK and am disgruntled with the color reproduction of my ad. The pink shades didn't come out well at all, only the lavender and natural look good. The ad is going to repeat in the next issue and I can't even do anything about it - poot. I do hope knitters will look to my site's photos and not judge the colors by the ad.

oh well, this is all I can write with my nose 3" from the keyboard! Time for a hot cuppa tea and yet another nap. I'm missing autumn, hey but I'm also missing the raking! there's always an upside!

Thank you for all your kind wishes for getting well!! I had been feeling like I fell off the edge of the earth and didn't exist anymore! Please don't ever feel intimidated to write me. I'm a regular person, living a modest, hard-working life. I never think of myself of being well-known in knitting. I do think of myself as being a lover of wool and the fiber arts and as being somewhat creative in these areas. There are so many more illustrious, not to mention famous and infamous!, knitting minds out there than mine.

I will try and write in a few days' time....
