Cute designs

 Some of the dish towels have cute designs. 



Finishes # 4 and # 5. 

I had a procedure yesterday and must take it easy for a little bit. I had injections into my back that were not without pain.   Far Guy and Jen are taking good care of me. 

We got about 6 inches of snow after a hard rain.

Threads

 Embroidery threads are part of my recent days.  

I brought ten dish towels with me to be embroidered over the Winter.  Five are done...so I am making progress.  Slow but sure.  

Far Guy is doing good...he is back on the treadmill and doing at least 5,000 steps a day.  He has his sense of humor back and that is a relief.  We are waiting for the genetic testing to come back on his Thyroid Nodule biopsy.  He has two nodules inside his Thyroid...one is benign and the other is questionable hence the extra testing that takes weeks.  

We had breakfast for supper..we all cooked!  

Minnesota weather: High 42F or 6C  Low was 32F or 0C eh!

Roses

 Andy gave Jen roses for Valentine's Day!


They are lovely and smell good too.

Monday appointments are done, I had a recheck with my Primary Care Dr and then in the afternoon I saw the Pain Management Doctor.  They want to try one more injection in my back before trying a implantable device.  

What ever lets just get this show on the road.  FYI it was a two month wait just to get to see the Pain Management Doctor.

I have one more appointment this week and Far Guy has two.  

We have wicked weather coming in soon.  I suspect our February thaw and nice weather with bearable temperatures is over.

Blessings

 We are blessed with a great family.  Those who could come came to wish Far Guy a Happy Birthday.  We ate lunch and then an early supper.  Every one was here except for our oldest daughter Trica, youngest Grandson Adam, Paige’s husband Cole and Noah’s wife Hanna.

  

The Great Grands made birthday cards!

Fun to see and hug everyone!
