Gallbladder Surgery!

We went in on Tuesday morning at 7 and I finally got rolled back into surgery around 10:30, they asked me all sorts of questions, ran some tests, and got me prepped for surgery in that time. Eric was good comic relief. Once they took me back into surgery, he went out and ran some errands, and got some coffee because we left home so early!

I came out of surgery and recovery around 1 and we were home by about 2:30. A really quick procedure all things considered.

I got a call this afternoon from my surgeon's assistant telling me that my surgeon has requested an additional procedure because I still have remaining gallstones in my bile duct. That procedure is called an ERCP and I will have it done on Wednesday of next week. Should be just a day procedure and the nurse said that I should be able to be back at work the following day.

So, healing here is slow moving, but positive. Every day and it seems like every hour feels better. Except for when I sneezed earlier today, It made me cry, so many tummy muscles used in a sneeze!!

Thanks for everyone's thoughts, prayers and texts! It's so nice to be loved and supported!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
