After The Colonoscopy - Whoopy!

This morning I was off to Olympia for my colonoscopy. Lucky me. I really think the worst part of it all is the prep.

We arrived on time, had our masks on. Patrick stayed in the waiting room. I was called within 5 mins of getting there. They went over all my information. Then put me in bed. The bed I was in was the bed I came out of. They put my clothes and shoes under the bed. Well prepared. The doctor came and said "it's been a long time." I haven't been to see him in about 4 years. We chatted and then he left. We talked about my medications. Thinking I may need to go see him again for the right meds for me. Then the nurse came in and I was off. I was put on my side and the gal said, "night, night. See you when you wake up." I back in the "room" and heard "wake up." I really didn't want to wake up. I just wanted to sleep. I got dressed and then she wheeled me out to the car. It was all of 1 and a half hours. Patrick was there waiting for me. I couldn't have walked to the car, I was too far out of it.

Came home and I didn't feel like doing much. The first thing I saw was the rose on the deck.



 I did watch a couple of my recorded shows. Then I was to the point of working on something. Thought I could do my beading on my lap but decided against that. About that time my 2 bars arrived from Europe. I was thrilled. I went downstairs and cut a part for the cross stitching. Then I sewed the piece that I started in MI to the strap and put the bars together. Now I can actually work on one or the other. I'm a happy camper.

I then pulled out the Salem piece and got to work on it.


I had part of the house done, but found that I was making a lot of mistakes, so took it out and reworked it. Then I was back on track. I got a lot done. I'm happy with the way it's comeing. I did get the head started on the other gal.

My daughter Katt is here. I wish at times she could get into doing crafts. Or at least the ones I do. She's not into what I do. She's more into fixing cars and driving her Jeep around on trails. I guess that's the way life is. Unfortunately, she won't be passing it on like my grandmother and mother did. I hope the art of handmade things doesn't die out, but the way thing are going in today's world, it may not be something anyone will be interested in. Too many people today are more worried about themselves then others. Shame. On top of that, the only way to get rid of racism is to stop calling people "black" or "white" and blaming the other.

After all I went through I can at least say I was able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
