I have been very concerned about my SP, the one I spoil!. I had a very brief e-mail early in April and she had hurt her leg. Time went by and I did not hear anymore until the last week of April. Her injury was quite serious. She fractured her leg and injured tendons when a load of lumber fell on her. She is very, very nice and very appreciative of the Easter basket I sent her. (see April 6 entry) SHe wrote that the color of yarn I used as grass was the perfect shade for a project she had wanted to knit. How lucky can that be!
Kristen has a problem healing as I do and has had quite a time of it. It is difficult to accept that I heal so much slower than others. A cut on my finger, a bruise on my toe, any injury takes ususally twice as long. I have had to really work on not feeling guilty that I cannot do as I used to do and focus on the future when I can again. John has become my personal shopper and while that is nice, I am itching to go.
Kristin has to keep her leg elevated for quite some time yet so I see knitting in her future. When one is as housebound as I have been it is deeply satisfying to bring a little joy, however small to another. I’m sending some knitting books to her today and hope to cheer her as she heals. Keep her in your warm, calm and healthy thoughts, please. I know only to well how good that feels!
As for my saga. I saw the cardiologist yesterday. My daughter's medical friends picked him out for me. He is very patient, kind and reassuring. I have to have a cardiac catherization (run a snake with a camera up from my groin and take pictures). I asked if I would be awake. He said he would give me a " 3-4 martini lunch" and I would not remember a thing. I also received a call late in the afternoon from my G.P. asking about the appointment. How blessed I am to have such caring doctors. I slept well.
Thank you for all the e-mails and good wishes. What a treasure bloggers have turned out to be. I love you all!!

Ro-I missed you at the round table on Thursday. We all talked about you and were worried. I hope that everything with the test will go well. Keep knitting, reading and blogging. It truly is a much cheaper form of therapy. I am off to the Maryland Sheep & Wool today with the Knitting Guild. I will be thinking about you! Keep us posted.
Believe it or not,I had a cardiac catheterization yesterday!! I was sound asleep (though they do not consider Versed to be deep sleep), and I feel a bit "beat up" today. It really wasn't too bad. I have a very dark bruise from my groin almost all the way to my knee, but it doesn't hurt. Good luck with it!! After the procedure you have to lie flat for six hours, so take your knitting!!
