A journey, one day at a time, taking care of that day and not worrying about the next day. The surgical procedure yesterday took place a half hour before the scheduled time. My glasses didn't fit over the double shield over the eye so I couldn't do much more than just choose fabric strips in warm tones. Today I can take off one dressing and start putting drops in my eye and will only have the lead shield to balance my glasses over. Pain is minimal so far. Thank you for all of the prayers and good wishes yesterday.
Here are all of the cool colors plus a few duplicate warm color strips, plenty for another quilt or 2.
Good Morning, Wanda. I'm glad to read the surgery went well. Now onto healing which I know you do in fine fashion!!! ...and is t it just like you to show us some pretty colorful fabrics. Hugs to you friend. *karendianne.
Amazing what even fondling fabric and planning will do for us. I'm so glad you have minimal discomfort. Your attitude is great, day by day. Thinking of you.
I stop by your blog everyday and enjoy your quilts and colors so much but have never commented before. I am sending good thoughts and prayers your way Thank you for sharing your quilting inspiration.
You're an amazing woman. I can imagine someone who had your procedure spending the day listening to an audiobook, but I'm not surprised that you got some fabric sorting done! Glad to hear the procedure is over and that you aren't in too much pain
Wanda, you are a rock star. You impress the heck out of me. I want to be like you when I "grow up". I am happy the procedure went well and pray for a complete recovery.
That is great news that the procedure went well. I'm very glad to hear that you are not having pain and even feel up to playing with fabric. One day at a time will get you to the healthy place. Hugs and prayers.
I love how you are taking the best from each day as it arrives. Using your vision limitations to select fabrics was brilliant! I hope the rest of the treatment goes smoothly.
So glad to hear all is well and that you are not in a lot of pain, and glad you felt good enough to pick colors; they're lovely. Continued healing karma headed your way.
Wanda, I'm so happy the procedure is over and hoping the healing process passes quickly. I so admire your.handling of this stressful time and know everything will soon be just a memory.
Looks like every one got up early to find out how your procedure went yesterday. Knowing you, you will cope with the heavy patch and the daily drops. I will continue to pray that the mass disappears. Pleased to hear your pain is minimal.
Good news that the procedure has been done and with minimal pain. You are amazing. I would think many would go home and rest, but you went right back to your fabrics and work. You're such an inspiration for all of us. I hope your treatment passes quickly and, of course, successfully, so you can put all this behind you very soon. PS Selecting fabrics with unclear vision may be a really good technique. Food for thought.
You are unbelievable!! I am so impressed by your spirit and strength. Thank you for posting and letting us know how things are going. Working with fabric is my therapy; may it do the same for you.
Glad to hear that things are moving in the right direction. What a blessing to have little pain. The fabrics are a joy to behold. I think they reflect your spirit. Best wishes, Kathi
So glad the procedure went well. I'm believing you'll heal quickly and be back to normal very soon! And playing with Kaffe fabrics always makes me feel better. :)
I'm so glad that you have that behind you Wanda, and it's nice that you were able to be taken in a little early - reduces the fret time. It sounds like everything has gone well, which is great, but just remember to be kind to yourself and patient with the healing. Nice that you could still play with a little fabric - sometimes just the touch of it is therapy enough.
Playing with fabric has great therapeutic powers! I hope you find today a bit easier, being able to balance your glasses, and are back to normal in no time.
One step taken, well done. the colours look great, as alwyas you choose so well. Waiting to see what you make with the warm/cool selections. Fabric is healing and comforting all in itself. Take care. Cheers from Jean
So glad your procedure is over - and not much pain! And it's always a pleasure for me to see your choice of colors and color groups - gives me good ideas for family Christmas gifts. Your blog name is so apt!
