After a major "redecoration" of my innards I am happy to be home again as from this afternoon.My body has gone through big changes, but already now I can say I am very happy and very ready for the rest of my life!
The colostomy has been a big turn to the better for me already, and I have already invited the love of my life to go to the movies with me next week to see Blood Diamond, with Leonardo di Caprio.
I haven't been to the movies for several years now......
I will treat him to the tickets and he has to buy and carry the sweets :-)
I am not allowed to carry more than 1 kg (2 lbs) for 6 weeks, so no handbag or anything but the necessities in my pockets or a very small purse for now. That will be a challenge as I do not have much pain - which is great BTW!! I had more pain before surgery.
I am very grateful for all the well wishes and uplifting comments and mails I have got from all my friends around the world, and you are all worth your weight in gold :-)
I am looking forward to start working on my blocks again tomorrow morning !!
I have prepped my sewing corner so I do not have to lift more than what I am allowed to, ready for both NI blocks and applique blocks :-)
Not a stitch has been taken since Sunday evening last week. I have read some the last couple of days in the book Father's Quilt by Ed West. A cute story from the Civil War period. I have borrowed the copy I am reading from a friend.
I have a gazillion blog entries to catch up with and I am looking forward to see what you all have been up to while I have been away :-)
It is so good to see you again here. I am waiting for your next blocks but be careful with you. I'm glad you are going to the movies again and hope you'll enjoy it very much.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are home and feeling better! You have been missed. After I had surgery, I asked the doctor to write me a note stating I could not vacuum for a YEAR! It didn't work! DRAT! I HATE vacuuming. :::grin::::
ReplyDeleteHooray! I am so glad to hear it has gone so well for you. Enjoy your movie date!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and I am so glad you are feeling better. Take it easy and have fun. Enjoy the movie with your love.

ReplyDeleteHanne, It's good hearing from you.. I can already tell the lifted spirits. Just don't overdue it--- absorb all the TLC you can....take care---

ReplyDeleteWelcome home Hanne. I am happy to hear things went well. Enjoy the movie and let us know how it was. Rest and recover.
ReplyDeleteHanne, welcome home!!! It's so nice to "hear" that you are on a good road to recovery. Pay attention to the doctors about lifting anything heavy - it's very important. Prop your feet up and stitch away the hours!
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to have you back home again. Take a look at all the greatings you got on my blog when I reported your sms from you.
ReplyDeleteA big hug
Glad you are back home and feeling better. My grandmother lived many years with a colostomy and it didn't slow her down a bit and made her life better than it was before the surgery ...so I hope the same for you!!! Peg in Southern Missouri
