I M Perfect lady


A Sunday Full of Feelings!

I have a blood clot in my varicose vein. On Tuesday, they gave me an antibiotic, due to the redness around it.  I proceeded to get very sick…a negative reaction to it.

So, I did the other two things the Doctor wanted me to do, wear the tight stocking, and take an asprin a day.  He wasn't too concerned about it moving, since a typical clot in a varicose vein doesn't move, but over time goes away.  

After the bad reaction, I didn't notice my leg, my belly was much more my concern. I was off of work, Wednesday and Thursday….went back for Friday and Saturday, for the doctor also said moving around was good for it.

Then last night, the pain seemed worse and swelling came in. 

So, this morning I called the ER, said to order up the Antibiotic, I was going to try it again.  I didn't want to Waste my one day off.  Well, about an hour a half later, I was back sick…and emptied myself out and shivered and knew this pill didn't agree with me. 

When my body paused, I called the ER again, and had them order up a new pill….and headed back into town.   

One thing I had planned on doing was have a family picnic up the bush, where Paul and Eli were making our winter wood. We have a pond in the back woods, a perfect location. 

The picnic basket left here about two hours before I did.

I drove into the clearing

No wood makers…

An empty tractor, silence…peace.

And then down the road towards the Pond…

I heard music and laughter…the picnic was still going on…and found the wood makers in the middle of a Monopoly Game.

I stayed awhile…enjoying the sound of family on a sunny afternoon.  Then, I had to head into town, my second trip, for another antibiotic.

When I came home….Thinking the monopoly players would be working, and I was feeling somewhat better, I decided to grab some time to quilt.  

I had left this lady on the ironing board last week, in a pile.  My leg disappeared as I began to quilt her down, infection gone!

Well perhaps not gone, but my attentions was elsewhere.

I wonder if she will be holding something above her head…there is quite a bit of room there.  Oh well.  Her outfit went together so quickly…and I got the same excitement this week working on her as I did last week.

Here is a close up of her leggings!  Zebra prints, with actual zebras on them!
