Cornstalk recovery

I am nearly 100% recovered from the cornstalk  in  the leg ordeal.  Work and doing the norm around the house are back on the top of my daily routines. I still have to chuckle when I think about the Dr. calling them "sticks"  in my leg. For the quilters waiting to see the baby quilt.. It will soon be show and tell, or  show & sell time.  

Another Piece of cornstalk

 I can"t believe it !! Yesterday another piece of cornstalk emerged from my leg... That makes 4 pieces.. 2 were half that size and 1 was about that big. I hope that's it!!  I am afraid corn may start to grow out my ears

The cornstalk fiasco is coming to an end!! During harvest..I stepped on a freshly cut  cornstalk...that jabbed into my leg. I pulled out some but was sure there was more in there.. deep. A trip to the Dr., an x-ray, (which showed nothing) and a prescription to fight infection.What remained in my leg would be absorbed by my body. Shortly after thanksgiving..another trip to the Dr. for a small red spot and given another prescription. Right after Christmas  I am back in the Dr. office...the red spot had grown considerable. I was refered to a Gen. Surgeon and yesterday 3 pieces were removed..YEAH!! I am getting along well...just sitting more than I am used too. So the moral of the story...My body doesn't absorb things well. LOL, what did you think I would say.... go to ER??  With all the sit time , I might even get the hand quilting done on the baby quilt (I am not going to be a Grandma that  know of). I''ll be posting a picture of the quilt in the near future.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Pictures were taken in Chicago over Christmas.  The decorations, music, lights , festival, & activities made it impossible to be a Grinch The German Fest offered good food and hot wine.  We decided the hot wine got better at the bottom of the cup.   I laughed when I saw the pigeons get a place to warm up and dry off..so cute. "The Bean" is a giant shiny piece of art shaped like a bean which reflects the city around..so cool. Ice Skaters tested out their ankle strength. Some had been at the German fest too long... oh no, she's going the wrong way!! Chef Ashley & roommate wowed us with a great Christmas eve dinner! The next night we went to a Korean restaurant.. very interesting eating with chopsticks and testing out the large variety of stuff in the bowls. I need more practice with the chopsticks!
