Somehow I made it through a quick trip to Kohl's for a new coffee maker and to the food store this morning. This afternoon I was looking out of the patio doors at all the grey, non-color and said for the first time in a long time I'm ready for Spring. I so wanted to see green.

This is quite unlike me even though the coming of Spring signals the near start of another gardening season and gardening is one of my greatest joys. I'm never ready for Winter to be overwith (or for daylight savings time to begin again).

Of course, this could be my weary soul subtly crying "Uncle!" from this hellacious cold & bronchitis. It could be the lack of sleep. It could also be the cold/cough/pain meds & antibiotics!

Regardless, to satisfy my need for earthy tones, I picked up some yarn I bought in Dec. or Jan. on deep clearance at a somewhat nearby yarn shop and began knitting (yes another!) scarf.

The pics aren't the best. (I'll try taking new ones today). The yarn has all manner of natural greens throughout with a bit of cream and various shades of dirt brown. As soon as I saw the yarn, it reminded me of early Spring when green starts popping up all over and things are wet from the thaw and rains.

This yarn looks gorgeous! I need to break away from craft store yarn and support a local yarn shop I think. Must use up some of my stash though!

For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
