First, I finished off a set of underwear for my little Waldorf doll (now named Annie – thank you Vivi). This is part of the Facebook MAL I’m following with Astrid. And as it’s getting a bit chilly, I thought I’d better knit her a little bonnet too :0)
Then
on Thursday, I went into hospital for my knee replacement surgery – see before
and after photos. All sympathy very welcome as it’s still quite painful ……. Ouch!
I was so brave ….. NOT!
(I've edited the last one a bit by the way, because I didn't think you'd want to see the bit of blood oozing through the plaster!)
As
soon as I could show the Physiotherapists at the hospital that I could climb the
stairs, I was discharged yesterday afternoon ….. they don’t waste any time I can
tell you – plenty of other patients lined up for my bed.
The
next image shows just some of the exercises I must endure at least a few times a day for the
next 6 weeks or so – and I’d be a fool not to follow them. But I do HATE
exercise!!
And
so to reward myself for all that hard work, I have started my ‘Mr Frosty’
cross-stitch by Brenda Gervais. There’s not much to show I grant you. It didn’t help that I started
with the Eggshell colour in a very dull electric light, but I’ve started it and
will soon get on with it.
So, that's been my very exciting week!!
