I finished up a sweet Valentine pattern now. Then I will get back to the January SAL from Snowflower Diaries.
I received a gift of three more pink fabrics from Jenny. I also received two very special items from her. Do you see the small wooden heart? And that is a pink and white bracelet from Jenny also. I am going to write a little something on that heart for Jenny. She is collecting them. They are little hearts of encouragement. Jenny has breast cancer. If you want to know Jenny, take a look HERE and learn more about her. :)
I saw the spine orthopedic surgeon on Monday. I have degenerative disc disease at C5/C6 (the neck). This would explain the pinched nerve there and the pain. He said I am not a candidate for surgery.(That is fine with me!) He suggested an epidural injection. So I saw my pain management doctor Wednesday. I will get an epidural injection in two and a half weeks.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Aww Jenny is so sweet

Cute Feb. finish. Fits nicely in it's section of that frame.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you have an answer to the pain puzzle. Hope the injections work. Is that something you would have to do periodically?
Pretty February finish and wonderful gifts too.
ReplyDeleteStitching friends are wonderful...
ReplyDeleteI adore your cute February finish, your cubby box is filling up quickly and it looks lovely.
Oh good news regarding your neck, I am so pleased you can have some pain relief, I hope it helps you.
Big smiles :)

ReplyDeleteA sweet little finish & precious gifts from Jenny :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely little finish, Vickie, another perfect addition to the other things in the cubby holes.
ReplyDeleteGreat and thoughtful gifts from Jenny.
I hope that these injections can solve your problem.
Love the February piece, very sweet. Prayers that the injection works for you. I'm glad the surgeon didn't want you to have surgery.
ReplyDeleteA pretty February finish,Vickie.
ReplyDeleteAt least you now know what is going on in your neck.I sincerely hope an epidural injection will relieve your pain and thank goodness you are not having to wait and wait for it.
Aww such sweet gifts. :) Love your finish, and thank you for the link. :) Prayers sent your way sweet friend. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely little finish Vickie :) And such sweet gifts from Jenny....I like the hearts of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that the epidural shit will help bring some relief x
My first thought is 'over one on 48 count???' I struggle with over two on 40! You are the best tiny stitcher!! Your February piece is lovely, and fits perfectly in the cubbyhole! How nice of Jenny to send you more pink fabric... I will read her blog today. I do hope and pray that the injections take away the pain. Forever! Hugs my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely little finish.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Manuela
Great February stitching. Amazing gifts You've received. Hope You will get better soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the cute finish Vickie. Love the gifts from Jenny.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Another beautiful finish and a lovely gift too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish you made in the typecast. Today I also finished the same pattern, isn't that nice. I used a different color so the effect is totaly different than yours. It's always nice to see what difference color makes.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear from your backpain. I hope your pain is over when you got the injection. Have a nice weekend, greets, Nienke
ReplyDeleteI love your February stitching , lovely gifts from Jenny hugs.
I like your shadow box and the new addition!
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts from Jenny. Another cute finish for your box frame.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you Vicke x
You have been quick with the February block! The thread looks lovely too.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts from your friend, I hope she recovers soon.
I also hope the epidural works for you too.
Oh my about the degenerative disease, but praise God for answers and an injection instead of surgery... Still praying!
ReplyDeleteLove your February stitch :)
Your needles are flying Vickie! Your February finish is great. Another wonderful addition to your frame. I love the color of your floss. I really hope that the injections will help with your pain...I will be praying. Thank you so much for your friendship, prayers and support as I fight this battle with cancer....it is so much appreciated and this support from my family and friends really makes a difference. It means so much! The countdown is on....7 more chemo sessions to go :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the epidural works and helps your pain!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching as always. Especially love the February one in last post. As I've said I have neck pain from time to time so this is a topic that interests me. As a teacher I spent a lot of my day with head bent over desks and now with my stitching, my head is bent forward quite a bit. I just looked up some exercises to help with it. So good luck with the injection. Thank you for sharing; I will follow with interest.
ReplyDeleteHello Vickie -
ReplyDeletePut off surgery as long as possible. My husband has suffered with disc issue for over 20 years. He had surgery is 96 and it has only gotten worse. Next step for him is fusion but we are waiting as long as possible.
I will be praying for your.

A darling February finish for your cubby, Vickie--it is filling up quickly!! Are you going to keep up the monthly stitching all year for it?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have an answer--certainly hope and pray the shots can help! I'm so glad you don't have to undergo surgery--I've heard of so, so many who feel even worse pain after having those back/neck operations.
lovely stitching and lovely gifts
ReplyDeletesorry about your disc issue, hope you will feel better soon
