Knitting Time just Ahead

By -

I don't know if the periodontist found any encrypted messages in my teeth last night, (A Serious Man Film image). If he did find a message I hope it was my Nana's favorite riddle:

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
Now they chomp
Now they stomp
Now they stand still.

(teeth)

I have a thing for those Riddles. If you want more for the brain workout today google The Theives Guild and Riddles.

All in all it was a good time at the gum graft yesterday. I love that laughing gas....I tell you I could FLY the plane on that stuff. At different points I felt like there were a thousand marbles in my mouth and the hour after we got home was a pulsating pain throbbing workout.
But a little more than directions call for of ADVIL and a lovely ice pack and I was settled an hour later. Oh and I hadn't had any caffeine so the headache was throbbing in synch with the mouth ache.....

Nothing like some lukewarm fresh coffee to snap out of it! No talking is allowed for the 8 hours post procedure. I had a BUZZ AND WOODY grease board and was writing fast and furious to Fireman.

He had to go back in to work, but delivered a wonderful vanilla malt, for sustinence, to me.

I have to say while I was hearing the drill, and sucking the laughing gas as deeply as I could at that moment, I tried to think of something soothing....and seriously, my knitting came to me.
I pictured those plastic red needles that one of you gave me in a swap. I adore those cheapy needles. I just imagined knitting stitches with those two needles.....

was it the laughing gas or the knit memory? Who knows? Here's to soft food for more than a week. Time to go and knit now......that beret is going to make an appearance here very soon!
You know I want to sink my teeth into that Ella Rae again...

Oh bless your heart (as my Mom would say, LOL) I hurt for you! 8 hours of no talking?? That would not be possible for me. So glad you are resting and knitting. Heal!!

Knitting and laughing gas certainly would make any dental procedure less painless. ;oD

Happy to hear that things went well. Today, you'll have to knit without the laughing gas AFTER you get some needed rest.

feel better quickly my dear friend, you are a stronger person then I!!!

Once I had a tumor removed from my throat, it was caused by 2nd hand smoke but non-cancerous (Thank God) and I couldn't talk for 8 hours,it was quite near my voice box area, try and discipline 3 kids when you can't yell!!! No actually they were great and helped me out a lot

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
