Prayers for you. You got this Karen. Look at it this way. Stitching time is on the way. What better way to recover. Hugs.

[@lindasilverman1786]

It was wonderful seeing you today Karen. All my prayers are with you. Have a wonderful holiday with your family and try and enjoy yourself with your grandchildren.

[@haylat7410]

Positive thoughts and prayers for you. That shawl is gorgeous. Your daughter will love it.

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

Hi Karen! So good to see you! I enjoy seeing your projects. The shawl is very pretty. I'm feeling positive too, Karen. I was shocked when my dr told me that it is now every other year. I'm going every year too. I hope you will have a "stitch with me" before surgery. You know we all love you and pray for you. Take care, my friend ♡

[@stephaniewingett2173]

Excellent advice, Karen. I, too, am of a "certain age" (72) and I still get my yearly mammograms and Paps. And as I have since the beginning of our wonderful "female" journey, I still hate getting them done. But it's just not sensible NOT to do it. One of my besties and I now make our appts together and then treat ourselves to a lovely lunch afterwards. It really helps to make the day end with a smile. I'm wishing you ALL the very best for positive results and fast healing from your surgery. Take good care. Steph from NJ.

That is a pretty shawl Prayers for your upcoming surgery

[@SaraiMiryam]

that shawl is awsome

[@laceandloom]

Amazing pieces you are working on! Question, as a nurse, how long does it really take to recover from the anesthesia? Merry Christmas!

[@NeedleBugg]

Good question! Everyone is different. Usually takes me about a week or so. But then you gotta factor in the pain meds which also effectthings

[@laceandloom]

@ wishing you a quick shake off of those meds! I felt “cloudy” for several months after my detached retina surgery. Keeping you in my heart and prayers.

[@SaraiMiryam]

I had a total hysterectomy at 45 and the only get mamos every year. Still we have to be concern of the rest of the body. So be proactive with your body as it will tell you if something is wrong.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]
