So, There’s Been A Few Changes Around Here!
We like to mix things up here at Pink Lemon Twist: different types of projects, occasionally some crochet or some sewing, and sometimes Max or Logan takes the blog for a spin.
Last week, my body decided to add a little adventure to my life. I’ve been dealing with some back pain (muscle spasms) for a while now and late last Monday night, it turned into difficulty breathing. We decided to head to the ER and find out what was going on. A couple of CT scans later, I was being admitted. Tuesday morning began with an Endoscopy to remove gall stones, Wednesday I was given a rest day (as much as you can rest in the hospital), and Thursday morning I was in the OR getting my gall bladder removed. They had planned to do it laparoscopically, but when they got in there, realized that for reasons I won’t get into, it wouldn’t work, so they had to do a traditional surgical removal. I was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. It feels so good to be home! I had a very waggy welcome home, followed by Max waking up to give me purrs and kitty love.
I’ve got a lot of healing to do and my goals are small. (Yesterday’s was to watch The Walking Dead season finale at home, in my own bed. Check!) I haven’t felt like knitting yet, but I know that will come as I heal. The blog is obviously going to go quiet for a bit, but I do plan to be back as I get myself back. I’ve had too much fun over the last 10 years or so to quit now!

You poor dear. You've been through a lot. Take care of yourself and don't rush to do anything. Healing of the body takes time.
Ouch! Rest up and feel better soon.
Missed you. Glad they figured it out quickly and that you're on the mend.
Yikes! Glad they found out what was wrong. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I'm so sorry--feel better soon!
Glad to hear you're home and recovering; it will go better in your own space and with your own menagerie of loved ones. And here I thought you were on spring vacation!
Yikes, hope you are feeling better soon. I had my gall bladder out at 16 and have the larger scar.
Hope you were able to relax a little watching that season finale of Walking Dead, I think Sunday is the night I sleep the worst.
Well, phooey! I had visions of you enjoying spring break someplace warm and sunny. I'm guessing the hospital might have been warm from time to time but did not feel sunny. FWIW, I know two people that had that procedure and they were both feeling enormously better soon. Heal fast.

Oh, that unlovely stabbing pain--I know you won't miss it. May you heal quickly and safely.
Oh my. Hope you feel better soon.
Miss your blog...but I hope your are recovering comfortably! Maybe getting some knitting done?
Take the time you need to heal. We will still be here when you are back to yourself.
Sending you healing vibes!!!
So glad you are home and starting to recuperate!!

Get better soon!
I'm sorry about your surgery. Good luck for a speedy recovery!
