Don't worry.

 Don't worry...Things take the time they take, Don't worry.  

   How many Roads did St. Augustine follow before he because St. Augustine.  Mary Oliver.  

This Mary Oliver piece of advice is one I'm going to memorize.  

There will be many roads, lanes and super highways  traveled in the months to come.  Many.  Yesterday brought answers to questions.  the answers were...No answers for now..  Genomics Testing questions had no answers.  So the road will move on to the next stop in the trip. The dressing to the graft site was cleaned and changed  during the I U visit and now needs to remain open to the air with petroleum jelly slathered .  Sort of messy to say the least with an added ton of pain but it's got to happen.  Doug is my support nurse attending to my leg.  Thanks be to God.  Let's add the drains to the morning work.  Still have drains and back staples.  I did get rid of 18 staples under my chin to my ear.  Lymph nodes taken from that spot.  

This morning I made my wonderful 2 scrambled eggs with sour cream.  Try it.  My favorite.  I think the more I move within reason the better.   Yesterday might have been a bit much...Parked in the wrong parking lot...lots of steps but these two old folks carried on.  A great Steak and Shake burger brought us the rest of the way home.  

At noon today  I will meet a PT person for an evaluation.  I'm not sure what part of my body we will work on.  Could be the area where neck stitches were removed.  It will be a surprise for sure.  

A new day...Don't worry...Thank you Mary Oliver.

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
