"A bedside table is a must have after #KneeSurgery, or if you’re #StuckInBed from #ChronicPain. Get one that has the capacity to be adjusted up and down to suit the height of your bed and body’s positions.": buff.ly/bSnXEUz

Red and white woven dishcloth, shown next to a pair of snips (small bladed scissors) and a ball of red cotton thread. All on a light pink blanket as background, because I’m mostly stuck in bed and weaving and other yarn crafting is an easy and productive way to keep myself from going mad.

That was a fabulous 27+ hours of blissful numbness… but that popliteal nerve block is definitely starting to wear off now. #Ouch. 😖

Good news is that I’m starting to be able to wiggle my toes again. 👍🦶

Forgot to take my anti-histamine tablet before going away for the night, and now I'm stuck in bed, going through boxes of tissues, a sick stomach, and itching all over. Gotta love Mast Cells 😓
