No Sewing - Recovering from Total Knee Relacement Surgery


It's A Saturday Sharing Day at Pigtales and Quilts. Go take a look at what everyone else is sharing on this Saturday and share something yourself. It's easy to link up! This is what I would like to share...
I missed last weekend's It's A Sharing Saturday due to my surgery, but not this week.
 
 My knee replacement surgery was Thursday, March 14th...all went well...Thank you Lord! I was discharged from the hospital last Saturday...one day earlier than expected.

This picture was taken the day after surgery. I really wasn't this happy. The anesthesia made me so sick!

 
 
 
Of course I had to have my pre-surgery pedicure. I'm a true girly-girl!
 
 
 
 
I finally got out of the house yesterday, Friday - a week and a day after surgery. I was about to go stir-crazy!
 
Our first stop was to get a manicure. The hand massage was great!
 
 
 
The results! 
 
 
 
 
It was too soon to go home and I still needed some therapy so we visited my LQS. It was so relaxing hobbling amongst the fabric.
 
 
 
 
My mother came to help me during my recovery and she has been a life saver. My husband and I appreciates all the help  she is giving. Mom also had her knees replaced about two years ago and has been a sea of information and support. Thanks Mom. I love you!
 
 
 
 
My next step is.....my stairs!
My sewing studio is at the top and I hope to be able to get up there sometime next week. I'm in the need of some sewing therapy now and want to get my mom back into sewing!
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by. Hope that everyone has a great weekend. Hope to have some quilting projects to show next weekend!
 
Happy Living! Happy Quilting!
