Healthy again Hyperparathyroidism

When you have a health issue don't give up. I had primary hyperparathyroidism. Calcium taken from my bones into my blood because one or more of my 4 parathyroid glands went bad. Doctors here said nonthing to worry about with high calcium. Wrong. Does damage to heart, kidneys and brain. I sent tests to endocrinoligist surgeon at U of M, she told me you need surgery. I had surgery, a 4 gland hyperplasa, 3.5 gland parathyroidectomy, a bit of small tissue left behind to keep parathyroid functioning. I thank everyone for the prayers and thinking of me.  Now home, sore but healing with all your loving prayers.

Tuesday Delights in March Knitting Outside

Today it is suppose to get in the 60"s in temperature. Spring Summer can not get here soon enough!   Do you knit in Spring and Summer?  I do, I take walks at a local park, with lots of benches and look outs.  I sit and knit.  Enjoying the sounds of birds and watching wildlife.   It is so nice and calming.  I will venture out today if my hip, knee and back let me.  I hate living in pain and other health issues.  The simple joy of getting out and walking is a big thing to me.

Sample Hat Version One

I have been working on this Aran

Hat for several weeks.  I did it back and forth on needles.  I now am working on the pattern in the round on circular needles and double point needles.  I don't like the seam and usually the seam lands up in the front when people wear the hat, it looks awful.   So now this is version one, version two in the making.

I will be selling this pattern soon.  I will have major surgery in March, the bills are already coming in from tests that insurance and copays do not cover.  I am knitting to keep my fears away and not be so down.  I am a slow knitter, and I enjoy the process.
