Husband's Knee Replacement Surgery

My Husband had the surgery on Feb. 11th.  It's been a month and 4 days.  He is still in a lot of pain.  I don't see him going back to work full-time after he sees the Dr. on the 24th.  My Husband thinks he's going back to work on the 25th.  We'll see.  

It's been quite a process, I must say.  He had a lot of trouble getting approved for Celebrex & Lyrica after being discharged from the hospital.  The insurance company took it's sweet time approving it.  The Celebrex took 2 weeks and the Lyrica took just about a month.

His advise to anyone who is in need of this surgery is:  Wait as lot as you can't stand it anymore.

I absolutely love this pattern and the yarn I used.  Yarn is called Seascape.  It's a hand-dyed yarn by  https://www.etsy.com/shop/DellasCrochetCottage/sold?page=3&ltid=1024812941 She can also be found on Facebook.  She has her own group named The Cottage.  Some of her yarns are one of a kind, sometimes you have to pre-order, too.  She doesn't have all the yarns she dyes in her Etsy shop .  She posts pictures of her yarns on her group or, she can also be found on the group Knitting 3.  Her name is Adella Colvin and she is a very nice person. Pattern costs $5.76 USD. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/InLuvWithYarn/red-robin-shawl

Four Months in 2016

This is April. It hasn't been a pleasant month.  I was in the hospital for 10 days, which seemed like a year. I went in with severe stomach pains.  I've had this condition for over a year, but, the tests the GI Dr. did, had not shown anything.  This time, when I went to the ER, I was bloated quite a bit.  I felt like I was having sextuplets!!!! In the ER, the nurse hooked  me up to the machine that shows heart rate, BP & oxygen level.  Well, I knew I had a heart problem, but the Dr.'s never caught the fibrillation, until that morning.  The heart rate was all over the place.  The nurse asked me if I was ever diagnosed with an irregular heart beat.  I said no, but, I knew something was wrong since my 50's. I wore a heart monitor until the day before I was discharged. Now, I know for sure.  I'm on Zaralto ( I can be just like Arnold Palmer, when I grow up!!!) and a heart rate pill.  Life is GRAND!!!!! My stomach pains:...
