Pretty red felted baby shoes and sick of being sick!

I had shoulder surgery in the beginning of October and I can now wash my hair using both hands and take a coat off without turning myself into a pretzel so yeahhhhh!  Saw the surgeon this morning and he told me I'm doing great compared to most of his patients that had the same surgery so I'm happy about that.  He told me not to do anything crazy now, keep doing my stretches and he will most likely give me my diploma when I go back to see him again in January.  I only take ibuproben after or before I go to my PT appointments.  The rest of the time I don't need it.  The important part is to keep doing your stretches and exercises to get that range of motion back.  

So now another story ... I've got this crazy cough that's going around.  My daughter has had it for two weeks and now it's my turn.  Not happy about this since it comes with a fever, mine was 101.9 this afternoon when I woke up from a nap and the tylenol I took earlier in the day had done it's job.  So more tylenol and ice packs to cool myself down.  Really really sucks being sick.

Enough about being sick here are a couple more items I've added to my BitsOfFiber shop.  I love the little red shoes.  They are a newborn size.  The earrings are just fun especially during the holidays.  More photos and infor about these items in my shop.  Just click the link below the picture and it will take you to it.

Frustration running on high and treasuries

It's been a week since my surgery.  Doing pretty good considering.  I slept in my bed last night, woke up every couple of hours but I'm getting used to that by now.  Got to move that arm to prevent it from freezing up so I make myself get up to move around, getting that sling off and do my exercises.   Then back to bed, staring at my arm sticking up in the air trying to get comfy with that stupid belt which has metal in it to keep my arm in place.  Can't really feel the metal since they designed it with padding in all the right places but it still is a royal pain in the derriere when you have to sleep with it on.

Got up at 5:30 am which is my normal hour when I go to work and was pretty proud of myself I slept in our bed, no more couch or sofa for me for now.  And then it hit me, highly frustrated with it all.   There are a million things to get done in and around the house, with my on-line shop and business and I have all the time in the world to do it now ... except I can't ... not with my broken wing!  Good thing my hubby understands were I'm coming from, he has been there himself and has been waiting for me to hit this point.  So we had a good chat, a box of Kleenex and a half-way hug (because I can not even hug properly with that damn contraption on!) later he left for work.  So here I am left with all this freedom and not much I can do ... my house is my prison for now.


It's a couple hours later by now ... I'm done feeling sorry for myself.  I did manage to make a couple of treasuries on Etsy which I will share.  I have some more photos to adjust so I can list the items in Sofie's shop.   My broken wing is mending which is a good thing, I just have to accept its going to take time.
