More back surgery!

Created By My Colonial Home

Hi to everyone out there in blog-land.
Well it’s that time again for more back surgery.  It is going to be tomorrow (Nov. 3rd).
I’m hoping that this time I won’t have problems and end up in PT for 8 days – but this surgery is supposed to take care of the problem that was still there after my first one and gave me so much grief.

I haven’t been blogging much at all because my head just isn’t in it – and I’ve been trying to make some things to sell and get a couple orders finished up before I go in…so far all is on schedule in that department.

I have a few Christmas things I will be working on when I come home so all my projected work is piled up in the corner of the den where I’ll be resting for a week or so. 
Lots of punch needle designs and some rug hooking along with 2 runners that will get their final stitching done one them.
projects

Besides the work in the corner – I bought several books to keep me busy when I don’t want to stitch anymore.
Hopefully I won’t be laid up much more than a couple weeks because that would be the max. for my laying around tolerance – it’s difficult for me to just lay around.

I’m hoping I am able to get my Fall decorations taken down and packed away right after Thanksgiving and then get the Christmas things up that weekend as well – big plans but most likely will get nipped in the bud by my family saying I’m doing too much too soon….and maybe they will be right….we’ll see….decorations this Christmas may be very minimal.

Here’s just a couple Fall pictures I didn’t get posted last time.

I hope if some of you get to go to the Primitive shows that are now happening that you will post pictures.  We had plans to go to a couple of them this month but now that won’t be happening.

Thanks again for all your wonderful comments and words of encouragement – I will be back on line again as soon as my body feels up to the computer.

Karen

    Praying that the Dr's hands are in "His" hands, and all goes as planned. Hope this is the last time you will have to have surgery. Blessings!

    Best of luck with the surgery Karen. On Oct. 14 I had back surgery. I am still getting over it. I had a burst fracture of the L1 Vertebrae.No fun at all! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope this fixes everything!

    Karen, I have been following your blog for a long time. I guess I am a "closet" follower. Please know that your words and pictures have been a true blessing to me. I am so sorry for the back problems you have had and am praying that this surgery will give you the relief you are seeking. May your recovery go smoothly and I hope that you will be surrounded by joy and peace. God Bless, Lorraine

    Karen, your Fall photos are just lovely. Your home looks so cozy and warm. I'm sorry to hear you need to have back surgery. I've had 3 spinal fusion surgeries (T11 to L4) & 2 other back surgeries over the past 15 years. Knowing what I know now, I would say I had 2 fusion surgeries too many. I know there have been many improvements in back surgery in the past decade, so I'm glad to know you will be able to avail yourself of the advancements made. I wish you a speedy recovery.
    Best wishes, Lisa in Oregon

    Hi Karen - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and sending prayers your way. Your fall decor is lovely, but if Christmas decor is a bit sparse at your place this year, just remember the ornaments of a home are family. I know your house will be overflowing with love and ornaments! Jane

    Prayers for you, your family and the surgeon. Please rest and don't try to do too much to soon. Less is more for holiday decorating....just relax and enjoy your sewing, reading and resting time.
