What You Doing Wednesday Week 193

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope your week is going well!

I am sorry I haven't been around.

I got sent into hospital again!

Due to the size of my gallstone it

keeps blocking up my gallbladder

and it gets infected.

Each time I get sent to the hospital.

Spend numerous days there on antibiotics

and sent home.

Due to the fact it's my gallbladder that

gets infected I have to have intravenous

medication first before putting me on

tablet form.

It is looking like I might be in and out of

hospital every three weeks

and I'm usually in for five days.

Once it's removed I'll be fine but I am

waiting for an appointment with my surgeon

to arrange the removal and then I'll

be placed on the waiting list.

I am hoping as I am costing them a lot of

money they might put me quite high on the list.

 

What I looked like when I went into hospital and

what I looked like once released.

 

They now inject you so that you don't get blood

clots. The only problem is I don't clot enough

really anyway.

I think next time I'll refuse.

I didn't even do anything to get these bruises.

Red Monster touched my hand with the tip

of his fingers and I was left with a bruise.

Due to my wonderful visits to hospital and the

lack of sleep whilst you are there,

my cfs and fibro are really being nasty to me.

Yesterday was the first day I had actually

switched my computer on since before

I was taken in.

It's amazing how a bit of pain and fatigue

can reduce your concentration.

I have been trying to do little snippets

on Instagram so you can keep up on

what I'm doing.

I have actually been busy making.

I have found it quite relaxing to switched

off and just focus on something repetitive.

I am working on this blanket but I'm not sure.

It's not turning out how I expected and I don't

like how some of the rows are finished or started.

I'm going to make a decision on it in the next few days.

I am super excited as my wool has arrived

from the wool warehouse.

It's all the colours I will be using in this

years Scheepjes CAL

It's called "Dance on the Beach"

this CAL was designed by the late Marinke Slump 

( aka : Wink) from www.acreativebeing.com 

and was the final design she was working on 

at the time of her passing. 

In accordance with the wishes of Marinke’s family, 

12 of her online friends and bloggers 

have completed her unfinished design 

to present this beautiful 

and sensitive CAL in Marinke’s memory 

and as a tribute to her work.

What could be more special!

Will you be joining in?

The CAL begins on the 20th April.

I am so proud of the WIP.

This is my first ever knitted hat

and the first time I have ever knitted cables.

I can't thank Craftsy enough

for their course;

One-Skein Accessories; Chevron Collection.

I am also cross-stitching a sheep.

I was very disappointed with this kit.

None of the colours matched the picture

or design so I had to raid my own stash.

Red Monster and I have been working on

our writing skills.

He is coming along so well and hopefully

with more practice he will improve

even more!

I am trying to learn calligraphy so it's

a good journey for us both to be on.

I have said if Red Monster can learn

to hold his pen lighter and write then

I will buy him his own fountain pen.

He is very excited about this prospect!

Benji is such a big part of my life.

He curls up with me when I can't do anything.

I take him out for a short walk when I can

and overall we just keep each other company.

It has been nice.

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

Please add the pin to your post & check out a couple

of other people that are sharing their work
