Yes, I have seen one surgeon and he thinks I could be in hospital by the end of the month. Just have to see the plastic surgeon now so fingers crossed. The weather was gorgeous in Wellington. Threatened my boss that I'll move down there but why go work for a Rotweiller when I can work for a puppy dog... hehe! My boss is so cool and he's a great team member with us experts around here! Hehe
Last night Carol and Alison came around and we worked out how to put my quilt together. Carol bought some gorgeous fabrics to try as sashings and we chose a gorgous vibrant red floral which really makes the colours of the hearts jump out! Carol is such a beautiful person and so generous. Her stash is amazing! So tonight I'll be cutting sashings and ironing blocks ready to start sewing. There are still more arriving everyday but the extra's will go on the back of the quilt. I can't wait to see it finished and it will be a real talking point when in hospital. Which will be great since I'll be so far away from friends.
It was real dejavu yesterday. When Annette, my eldest daughter and I were walking into Lower Hutt Hospital it felt like we'd turned the clocks back and I was taking her to see Drs again (she had a liver transplant 14 yrs ago). But this time it was Nette accompanying me and waiting for me to have xrays and blood tests. Weird but wonderful that she wanted to be there with me too.
I know they'll all be there for me on the day. My two girls Annette and Haylee, and my two sisters Raelene and Debbie. The op will take 7 hours so hope they find plenty to do... I know Raelene will go to the patchwork shop.. bum.
Went to acupuncture and deep tissue therapy this morning on my right arm. Its been getting sore and tight again lately so want to get it moving again before I go into hospital. Will get back into the pool again - been a bit slack last few days.
Counting down to Monday now.

About Me
- Karen
- I have two adult daughters, my baby son is nearly 29 and my four gorgeous grandchildren are aged 2 - 12years. I love patchwork and still learning the quilting part. On June 9, 2007 I turned 50. A month later I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and subsequently had a masectomy and reconstruction. I'm now getting back into my craft which is so therapeutic. My only addiction is my growing stash!
