I made some x's!

It is perhaps a sad thing when you are so excited to be coherent enough to make small x's in a piece of fabric. But that was me, last night and a bit tonight.
I worked on Stitch or Die last night, and it went well. Pic:

 
And then picked up Cheryl's Bouquet for my SAL today for a bit. Had to frog a bit as the pain meds are still playing with my head. But it was alright. Pic:
 


In other news, my parents, brother (who came in from out of town), uncle and his gal all came over for pizza and b-day cake for me. We watched the Canadians lose to the Americans in Olympic hockey. Sad. :(   But we're not out yet. Just made it alot harder for us to get to the finals.
Our pizza night was nice, and I'm glad they changed it to come to me as getting around is still a bit hard. But getting better.

I have a drs appt tomorrow just to check out the stabby sites and make sure they are okay. Hopefully goes well. (oh, and apparently it's my b-day. I'm been sooo caught up in surgery, recovery and just moving around and eating I keep forgetting.)
I am hoping to stitch a bit more tomorrow. I will (I hope) go back to work later in the week. We'll see how it goes and if I can drive or not.

Thank you all soooo much for your lovely comments on my recovery I appreciate every single one of them!

Home from Emergency Surgery

Well, as some of you know, and others do not. I got admitted for emergency gallbladder removal surgery late Monday night. I have been in the hospital all week. I am home now, and finally back online. So I am trying to catch up but I'll have to ask that you all be patient with me. I'm only about 60% back. And still quite sore. But alive and that is good.

No stitching so far, but maybe this weekend I can work on Stitch or Die, as it's easier and stuff. Still on pain meds so sometimes kinda loopy. But getting there.

Elfland Progress

Well no real change on the health front. I am still feeling like I'm dying, but don't want to go back to ER. So we are waiting for the Drs appt on Monday.
I am looking forward to the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics tonight and then more Olympics and Daytona through the weekend. I'm gonna try and just take it easy and not aggravate everything. I'm still following the diet, though it kills me to eat food that tastes bland, but I'm managing I suppose.
Thank you for all your kind comments and well wishes. I will keep everyone posted here as to what is going on.

It was the HAED SAL for the Freebie charts last weekend. I forgot to take a pic until this morning. But here is my progress so far on Elfland. It's not a great pic. Sorry gotta ask the man to show me what I am doing wrong to see if I can get better pics.
I hope everyone has a great and safe weekend. I know some of you are snowed in in the East and I do hope you're doing alright.
And again thank you for all your well wishes.
