Recuperation Projects.

Well, this has been way harder than I thought it would be. I guess I didn't plan on how difficult it would actually be for me to lose so much independence! Another thing that I did not realize is the energy and athleticism and grace that it would take to do simple tasks like....go to the bathroom, put on a pair of pants or get a drink of water! Muscles hurt that I never even knew I had!
Mentally, I spent a few days actually feeling sorry for myself and well just generally not being a very nice or fun person. At one point, I actually started contemplating inflicting mortal harm on JWS for several reasons, not the least of which included not flushing the commode or carrying the dirty dish towels to the basement.
I think I am coming around. Coming to grips with the fact that I might not be the most pleasant or obedient patient and owning it has helped a lot.
All that being said, the I Spy quilt is in the frame, the VBS houses are ready, and I have several scarves, a ton of yoyo's , quite a few wool projects and some painting done.
We are not going to discuss what isn't done. I need to just chant that last statement!

Just remember, "this to shall pass" though I know that's easier said than done as I'd make the worst impatient patient there ever was......therefore working my way to the padded cell quicker than I could blink!
Hang in there girl ;-)

The next time I start thinking that it would be nice to be laid up a bit and not have to go to work, I'll remember this post.

The older I get the more behind I get,that includes the butt too !
So sorry you had to have surgery but good to know you are on the mend.
Broke my ankle years ago so know the the process of being a bit helpless.
Will most likely have knee replacement (both ) this fall.
Hope you continue to mend quickly.
Big Hugs
Love your new projects.
Hope you heal fast.
Take Care!
