My hip replacement surgery went really well. The doctors and nurses were super attentive. All in all, it was a great day, and the hip no longer bothers me. The incision is healing, and I’m up and around doing stairs - just the few up to the bedroom level, but not the full narrow flight down to try basement studio. I even managed to sew a couple Christmas blocks yesterday.
I’ve got to make this short and sweet, because the pain meds make me sooooo sleepy. I think I’ll be cutting them back a bit today!
As promised, here are some glamour shots of the Christmas Stars quilt. DIL Kim and son Ryan came over for dinner on Tuesday evening and picked it up.
They were totally tickled!

I managed to get a few columns sewn together on my Thrifty Block quilt top. This was on Wednesday before we hauled up all my sewing stuff to the kitchen.
Hip-hip-hooray for your successful surgery, Cathy. All the quilts are delicious. The Thrifty blocks pack a visual punch! Your cats are so clever.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you are feeling ok and the hip replacement went smoothly
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled everything went well and there were no surprises or hiccups. I know you're anxious to get right back to quilting, but it won't hurt to take it easy for a few more days. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope someone is providing you with dinner that day.

So glad your surgery went well and you're feeling good, Cathy! That you're already doing a few stairs and sewing is wonderful news. The Christmas Stars quilt is beautiful on the bed - I bet they love it! Love your 16 Across blocks, and I think the kitties were thinking of you on Thursday, too. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHappy news that your surgery went well and you are healing....take it easy and don't overdo now (bossy mama speaks hahaha). That stars quilt is just so special--just lovely..
ReplyDeleteSleep the time away while you heal up--hugs, Julierose
I'm so pleased your surgery went well. There will still be a lot of healing, and no doubt exercises to do, so please take care.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear your operation went so well. Your recovery is really moving along. The Christmas Quilt is gorgeous. You must have been delighted with Kim and Ryan’s reaction.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Stars on the bed is fabulous! I’m so glad to hear all your good news regarding your hip surgery! A stitching friend is in week 3 of her recovery and doing quite well. Doing physical therapy and all. Cute Sixteen Across blocks! Please take care and rest when you can.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your hip replacement went well, and that you are regaining strength, and sewing time. I have been doing PT each week this time around, and think it has made a LOT of difference in my recovery. BTW - that Christmas quilt is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, Crazy Cathy. All the fabrics, notions and the blogland will be right here for you. Wishing you a rapid recovery and a terrific Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy! I'm so glad to hear the surgery is behind you and that it was successful. Just be kind to yourself and take it easy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, Cathy! Apparently, you're not letting any old surgery get in the way of your sewing. Go, you (and congrats on the lovely quilt finishes to you and Cousin Kim!!)
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely quilts! Such good news about your recovery progress too. Be kind to yourself as you progress. And your studio will be there waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? It's winter here, so not doing much. I have been thinking of you and your health and wish you well.
