Last Thursday I went in for some needed surgery. I knew that there would be a few difficult days afterwards, but I really expected to be back on my feet and moving around by now. The truth is that I am relatively pain-free as long as I stay put, but as soon as I try to get up and move around, it’s still pretty painful. Fortunately, I have a super caregiver so there’s been little need to do much. I am truly thankful for a laptop and a huge pile of magazines and books. We don’t have a television in our bedroom, and it’s been six days now since I’ve seen any TV. Except for the news, I don’t really miss it. I am a huge fan of college basketball, however, so I’m hoping to make it to the living room for the beginning of March Madness.
I’ve spent a lot of time perusing blogs and getting lots of inspiration for cards and scrapbook pages. I hope it doesn’t leave me by the time I get back to my studio. I’m also hoping that tomorrow I’ll be able to take photos for last week’s Project 64 (plum). Here’s my shot for Sweet Shot Tuesday this week. It’s one I took when I was at the George Eastman House to take photos for Picture Inspiration. As I was leaving I noticed all the winter anconites blooming through the snow.
They were the first sign of spring. Since then our daffodils have pushed up through the soil, and most of the snow has finally melted. Today it was sunny and 50°. I’m so ready for spring!
I would say that you certainly deserve some spring weather! It is almost hard to believe that the white matter in your shot today is snow, it is amazing to see the new growth after a long winter.
Good luck with your recuperation, it sounds as though you are doing very well and making slow but sure progress. 🙂
I hope you continue to heal quickly!
Karen,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Karen – it is so good to see you back online! I know you must be anxious to get fully back into the swing of things, but do give yourself plenty of time to heal and recover. I hope everything continues to progress well and that you are back in your studio long before you go stir crazy! 🙂
Karen, I’m sending you my very best wishes for a continued recuperation. x
I’m so ready for Spring as well….and we are finally getting glimpses of it!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery….but take it easy.
Get fully better soon, Karen xx And I’m wishing you more glimpses of spring to aid your recovery!
Oh Karen, I didn’t know you had surgery. I hope you are doing okay and healing quickly…and that your hubby is taking good care of you. Love that photo – of flowers pushing through the snow – so inspiring.
Oh, Karen, I have only just caught up with the fact that you have had to have surgery and been recuperating. So sorry to hear that and hope you’re better now. Going to read the rest of your posts and get up to date!
