Hi friends! I finally finished up the freebie I have been working on. There were a lot more stitches than I counted on, as I made a few changes along the way. The most notable being, I replaced the people with poodles! :) Please excuse today's pictures. It is rainy and dark here.
The bad headaches and pain and pressure in my shoulders are lessening. I was able to sleep last night without a percocet or a muscle relaxer. I am hoping tomorrow these symptoms will be over and done with from the facet injections I received in my neck last Wednesday. Oh yes, and receiving the original pain RELIEF I was looking for would be nice! Thank you so much for your concern and prayers.
Have a stitchtastic week my friends!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Hi Vickie..... I absolutely love what you did with your stitching piece! I am always drawn to sleigh themed stitching and the poodles just made me smile today :) What a fun piece.
ReplyDeleteI was so very sorry to read about the pain you experienced after your injection. No meds last night hopefully is a good sign. Keeping you in my prayers as always my friend and hoping pain relief is on its way! Enjoy your stitching. It is rainy here too today so I plan on staying in and hopefully stitching as well :) Have a good week.
