It is so important to be prepared and I had planned for almost everything........
I was not prepared for Lady Eleanor to greet me in pre-op.....I.m the luckiest person earth!!!!
It was my understanding that the doctor was planning on putting some screws in my hand and all I need is more loose screws....so I opted for a few "Embellished Wonderments" instead :)
Just in case, I brought everything I thought the doctor might need:
It took some convincing, but the doctor understood that I wasn't taking NO for an answer... giggles.
I won the argument with the doctor. No loose screws.... just "Embellished Wonderments" holding those bones together.
Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers. I have read all of them but my sister refuses to answer them while I dictate....go figure!!!!
Smiles,
Kelly
Trust Issues? Who me?
Just in case, I brought everything I thought the doctor might need:
- excellent scissors
- micro-fine tweezers
- excellent thread
- air erasable marking pen
- instruction manual - just in case
- last but definitely not least .... my Beam N Read - just in case the lights go out
The doctor refused my Air Erasable Sewline Marker and used this wimpy pen instead. Can you believe the nerve of him?
I bet his is not air erasable!
Mr. McSteamy was there by my side and then the lights went out......
Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers. I have read all of them but my sister refuses to answer them while I dictate....go figure!!!!
Smiles,
Kelly
Was thinking of you yesterday...Hope today isn't so bad. get lots of rest and take care, dear!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kelly....heal fast!
ReplyDeleteLove the embellishments - who wouldn't feel better with such pretty pins?
ReplyDeleteglad you can still smile heal fast
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were having surgery - sorry! I hope you heal fast. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteA speedy and good recovery is in my prayers. What a wonderful sence of humour. I love the flower pins at the end.
ReplyDeleteJust heard you'd broken your hand and then had to have major surgery to fix it. Yikes!! I feel so badly for you but...I read this blog entry and see your smiling face with Mr. McSteamy and I'm thinking...this lady is way too happy and looks too well to be having all these problems! Just kidding; but you do look toooo well. Let's see some dark circles under those eyes; perhaps a band-aid on your cheek (from where dr. dropped the scapel); couldn't your hair be just a bit more stringy and rumpled? Really, you take care. I'm keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove your sense of humor even when faced with surgery! Best wishes for a quick recovery :o)
ReplyDeleteawww. hope you heal soon. what was wrong with your arm/hand? and is it the right hand? so you can't write/type or even SEW??? GASP!!
ReplyDeleteMay your healing be fast and uncomplicated -and not require any "frogging"
ReplyDeletehahahaha!! I just don't understand why she won't do all of that typing for all of the love we're sending!! hugs sweetie!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you crack me up - Kelly your sense of humor never fails! I'm praying for a speedy recovery...and no don't you dare make your sister type out replies, lol!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be annoying to have happen to you. I wish you all the best and quick heallin Kelly.
ReplyDeleteGreat post as always! Good to see that sense of humor has survived your troubles. Speedy recovery!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you brought your own reinforcements! You can never be too prepared! Hurry and get well :-)
ReplyDeleteWhew! What a trip this has been for you! I am happy to see McSteamy there with you. There is nothing more comforting than someone who you love and who loves you. And as for healing, you are providing your own humour (I put the British "u" in there on purpose!) It was supposed to be funny...so laugh politely, okay? Or if you saw the Michael Yon picture of Queen Elizabeth II on Facebook and read that, then maybe you DID laugh for real.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and keep smiling!
Only you can make me laugh at your misfortune, lol.
ReplyDeleteI am glad it is all wrapped up, now if you can just sit still for a while and let it heal;)
Debbie
Good thing I let you keep those pins! They will certainly make healing more fun and hopefully, a lot quicker!
ReplyDeleteHugs to ya both!
Ok, lets get this out of the way first... Oh!...Kelly, get well soon! Now. OMG!...you are so funny and I'm laughing out loud for real of the pic of that Doc. What a perfect look of shock. You gotta know nobody goes into surgery with a camera in their good hand!...let alone all those creative during and after surger accessories. A whole new meaning to "a girl's got to accessorize"!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot......what do you mean you sister won't take dictation! Hmph!
ReplyDeleteI'm *so* glad it went well -- and I wish I'd thought about sweet little embellishments instead of stinking screws!! They look a lot happier, that's for sure! Here's to a quick and easy recovery! :)
ReplyDeleteGod love ya for keeping your sense of humor through all this! I'm trying to take your lead and do the same here!
ReplyDeleteAs always, too cute. Sure glad your Dr. had great light with the Beam N Read light to do your surgery.
ReplyDeleteHere is a big virtual hug and positive wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Kelly! Any dr would be grateful {I would think} to have YOU for a patient, with all those helpful ideas! You are a wonder... and I pray for quick healing, and no need to reply!!! Love and Prayers.
ReplyDeleteLOL your too funny!! Prayers for quick healing!!
ReplyDeleteKelly you are a riot wish I lived near by I would come and answer all of your e-mail. Take care and praying for a fast healing.
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humor never ceases to amaze me....you are a riot!!!! Maybe he should have fixed the screws in your head while he was at it? Just say....
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
No cast? Wow! I was thinking you would be in a pretty pink cast. Well I hope you heal very fast.
ReplyDeleteSending you big hugs, Kelly! I think that doctor has met his match...
ReplyDeleteKelly, I am senting my well wishes for a speedy recovery. A girl has to sew, you know! You have the best for the Doctor. He did my shoulder surgery and it's as good as new! Take care!
ReplyDeleteWishing you well as you recover. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteQuick recovery, and heal well...don't rush, we will be here when you are ready to blog anew!
ReplyDeleteWell at least you still have your sense of humor. Take it easy on yourself so you can heal quickly. And tell your sister that she needs to get with the program! LOL
ReplyDeleteBest wishes. Happy healing.
ReplyDeleteYou had a GREAT staff if they too have enough humor to play along! That is awesome! Oh and prayers for continued healing
ReplyDeleteOw Ow Ow. Here is hoping you mend fast and with little pain.. the pain of not being able to "craft" will probably be harder to take than the pain of the break.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that while you had a screw loose, you held onto your sense of humor. Good thing the doc had enough light to fix your hand. Love the embellishments. Hope the hand heals quickly sew that you don't have to change the embellishments to match the season. Gee, your had your Famors there, maybe the scissor man will visit (if only in your dreams). Quick healing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad all went well with your surgery Kelly! I love your "embellishments" - and lucky girl to have a visit from Eleanor hehehehe! Sending lots of prayers for a continued quick recovery :*D
ReplyDeleteGreat sense of humor. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery Kelly. Hopefully, Mr. McSteamy will be available to wait on you "hand" and foot. Of course no pun intended. {giggles} Jane
ReplyDeleteHeal quickly! Love those little embellishments!
ReplyDeleteMay you heal quickly and completely.
ReplyDeleteDespite your facing surgery (with metal yet), your post was wonderful, so uplifting. I love the wee pumpkin. Seriously, I wish you a speedy and complete recovery!
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humor is a good thing to have in this situation. So glad all went well. Heal quickly! hugs!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your surgery went well. Don't worry about responding to all the comments...just let you hand heal. We know you read them.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Go figure!!! Glad that all went well and that you retained your sense of humor - unlike the look on the doctor's face ;)
ReplyDeleteIs the flamingo going to be sporting a bandage too?
Heal quickly and well!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon and keep that delightful sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the surgery is over. Guess you won't be doing cartwheels--or dishes--for a while. But as usual, you are an inspiration to us all. Keep smilin'!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you havent lost your sense of humor. Tak it easy and heal. Mmmm...I wonder what the flamingos are up to while you are gone...
