Still kicking

And I've actually been knitting up a storm - I'm almost done with the second Clapotis. Knitting's about all I've had the energy to do, to be honest. I did bake 2 pumpkin pies yesterday, and that was more than I should have done, so today is back to watching documentaries and knitting.

Surgery was a week ago. Other than some serious breathing issues when I first woke up after surgery, I've been OK. I guess the anesthesiologist missed the fact that I'm asthmatic - d'oh! There's nothing like swimming up to consciousness feeling like you're choking and can't breathe and having someone yelling at you to take deep breaths. Then having to have the nurse hold the nebulizer do-hicky because I was too weak to do it myself.

But I'm OK now. Some pain, of course, and 4 holes in various places with stitches. I forgot to take out my belly button ring, oops. They did it for me, without breaking the bead, even. Put it in a hazmat bag with my name on it :-D

Mom came up for a few days to help us out - Dan had to go to school on Friday and I wasn't supposed to be alone yet. She did a lot around the house, which I was most appreciative of. Dan and I have muddled through this week given that I do most of the cooking. He's managed to feed us most evenings, and I'm doing a bit, too.

Hopefully I'll be up to taking and posting some knitting-related pictures soon.
