MARCH NEWS

Saw the ortho doc yesterday. Boy that was fun. First he numbed my knee, then he suctioned the fluid out and then he shot me up with cortisone. All went well until about an hour later when I could not bend my knee. Seems I had a reaction to the cortisone which mad my knee so swollen I could not bend my leg at all. Getting in and out of the car was
interesting, to say the least. I did the ice thing all night and it was much better this morning. At least I could go to work! (Is that a good thing?)

I finished the pretty thing cowl, now I have to block it. I am almost done with a pair of socks for Barbara. She liked the orange ones so much she wore them to the hospital last week for her surgery. They get the pathology report back this week and we are all praying for no lymph node involvement. She’s been a trouper, though. I was supposed to stay with
her on Saturday while Fred went out but she fired me. Said she was fine to be alone. Good for her!

I finally remembered to call Hong Kong at 6:30 am. They are 12 hours ahead of us so making reservations is tricky. The price went up considerably because of two of us in the room so I will talk to Frank about moving to a different hotel after the wedding.

Dad is now coming to Nashville for the wedding. It will be a downer for me but at least he will get out some. Julie’s parents are getting the wheelchair for us. I hope he is up to some sight seeing because I really don’t want to leave him at the hotel alone.

Book club is tonight. We will be discussing two books since we did not meet, due to snow,last month. Peggy will lead the discussion on THREE CUPS OF TEA and I will lead the discussion on THE ELEGANCE OF THE HEDGEHOG. To say both were awful would be an understatement. I never finished the first one and only read the second one because I was
leading the discussion. To say I read it would actually be a slight exaggeration. I actually skipped whole boring parts of it. But I got the gist of it, enough to lead the discussion. I hope next months is better.

Knitting weekend at Rolling Ridge in April is all set. There will be 6-8 of us. It should be fun. I am not sure if I will go up Thursday morning or night. Depends on how many days I want to take off.

Nestle is a much happier camper these days now that a lot of the snow is gone. She really hates the back yard. Too much mud for her delicate paws. Such a princess!

Time to decide on my next project. Such a hard decision. Should I make the baby blanket a coworker asked me to make, or my March scarf or that sweater for Becky or the cowl for Sandy or, or, or and the list goes on. So much to do, so little time.
