you may notice i have been prolific in my knitting. friday i had some minor surgery to remove a uterine polyp so i've had loads of time to just sit and knit. this was my first surgery in my 33 years of living and hopefully my last. yes, polly the polyp was extricated from my precious womb without incident. she didn't appear to put up a fight. the worst part was the IV so i guess that's a good thing! i was poked four times! ACK! only later did i hear a different nurse offer another patient a numbing spray before the IV. i was robbed!!! dr. mahoney (my anesthesiologist) was a crack up. when he explained the process of a "general" he said first he would "slip a mickey" into my IV. he wasn't kidding. my wonderful nurses mary beth and laura wheeled me into the OR, i was part way in the room and dr. mahoney sidled up with a smile in his eyes (his mask was on) and he waved the syringe and said "heeeeeere's the mickey!" he certainly made me feel more at ease that way and whatever that cocktail was sure took me down like a tranqued rhino on the serengetti. all i recall is them asking me to move to the OR table which i did,things started to look a bit wonky. i put my head down on what seemed like the softest pillow in the known universe and woke up in recovery and hour or so later to my dear caretaker jean who made me comfy and gave me more warm blankets. dr. hughes came in to tell me that the surgery was "textbook" and left me with some souveniers.. photos of polly and her former home. i'll spare you those photos! let me just say that was some magic carpet ride!
excited to report that mags has her first loose teeth!!! i was going to try to knit one of those adorable jean greenhowe patterns - the tooth fairy. turns out i may only have time for a pouch. so, i created a bigger pouch and lined it with some lovely lavender satin which maggie chose. viola! now maggie is ready for the tooth fairy!loose teeth, kindergarten on the horizon.. my baby is growing too fast :( sniffle.
