I went to my post-op appt to see the surgeon. I have had some side effects from the removal of the cyst/lump. There is a bit of confusion because what was removed was not a lymph node, but my arm and hand on that side are swelling and having pain and numbness much like a patient that did have one removed...sooo...hmmmm. My poor husband will now get to see me put on my big boot for my plantar fasciitis and a interesting sleeve that I will now wear to bed. I am contemplating actually putting on my retainer at night to complete the sexy look.
The good news? I asked Dr. Q if I needed to increase or decrease any activities and he said.
"GET QUILTING!"
Exciting!! Doctor's orders to actually quilt!?!??!
First on the docket.
My do. Good Stitches quilt for July 2012.
(er *cough* a little late)
I have been scribbling on my iPad with my Inkpad app.
I can download images and draw over them.
Fun to do while in the waiting room, anyway!
I am conflicted about this quilt. My heart wants to do really fancy custom dense quilting, but my head is saying no. It's purpose is warmth and comfort and not beauty.
I think I found a happy medium. We shall see how it goes!
I am also going to give my new rulers I picked up at the Houston Quilt Show a whirl. I predict some stitch picking and possibly even cursing in my future!
