He had to get a solid stent as well - seems for what he needed they worked better, too.<br /><br />I wish I come and sit by you and keep you company while you undergo your procedures, but I know you have lots of good support there. I'm a pretty good hospital person (as my son had over 20 surgeries as a child), but I'm thinking (unfortunately) you're getting to be as good as anyone!<br /><br />Anyway, just know I'm thinking about you, even though this procedure in long-passed. I know you have another on the horizon--hugs to you as you work your way to the best solutions.<br /><br />:) Elizabeth<br />P.S. You know my drill--no need to answer all these notes that I'm filling up your mailbox with. Just want you to know I'm thinking about you.OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-62462984890192784852014-10-26T13:54:54.979-04:002014-10-26T13:54:54.979-04:00Glad to hear there was no discomfort with your mos...Glad to hear there was no discomfort with your most recent procedure.

You are a real trooper. I love your rug too. I have made a rug with the toothbrush handle technique, the ending result looks a lot like your crocheting it.

I love the crocheted rug. My grandmother used to make them by crocheting with bread bags cut into strips. Have you ever heard of that? I never really understood them as there is no absorbency what so ever, maybe she just liked to keep her fingers busy!,Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326035712994253560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-85636907786910303232014-10-19T21:26:15.371-04:002014-10-19T21:26:15.371-04:00Do not be afraid - I'm told it is the most oft...Do not be afraid - I'm told it is the most often given command in the Bible, even as many as 365 times. But do we heed it....not usually. :) You are right in that this is a small thing when you compare it with the issues others have. But to you it is a big thing because it is you and I will continue to pray that it will be resolved for once and for all. I love the rug. I used to crochet a lot and enjoyed it a lot. I think I'll try this when I find a crochet hook that large so thanks for the information. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-55294274927135502712014-10-19T20:01:16.064-04:002014-10-19T20:01:16.064-04:00The rug is lively and pretty, and took you very li...The rug is lively and pretty, and took you very little time. Was going to suggest that maybe dampening it and using T-pins to coax it into the oval shape you want might work nicely. Glad things went well with your procedure. Have you looked into coconut oil or apple cider vinegar as dietary aids/supplements to reduce placque? I've read some about their use. A thought. I know you've done a lot with healthful diet.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-20540404351540051872014-10-19T16:51:44.897-04:002014-10-19T16:51:44.897-04:00Great to hear all is well after your procedure.

I'm not over weight and go to the gym 5 days a week and it doesn't seem to make a difference, so I'm glad yours was sorted before you had a major problem! <br />I LOVE your rug. I guess the hardest part is cutting the strips and rolling it into a ball! haha :-)<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655148270853160541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-8473679926284793452014-10-19T15:49:48.516-04:002014-10-19T15:49:48.516-04:00The rug came out great.
