What a mess! I'm sick of sitting!

I have been knitting as much as I can! I am working on my nieces baby gift booties! I finished the second bootie, just have to seam them up! I've also made a cowl for a friend, she paints and I knit, so we swapped! She's making me a wall hanging for my niece for her dorm room! 
My hamstring is taking freaking forever, but I knew it would be awhile before I'd be able to walk. I'm getting pretty good with my wheelchair. I got my hamstring brace on the 24th and rehab starts soon for me! :) yea! I'm so lonely and I miss my students at school!
As soon as I get the booties completed, I'll post pictures! These are my first pair!
I have to say that I learned who my real friends from school were. You find out real quick that you are easily replaced and nobody cares enough to call. It does make me sad and my husband has tried to console my poor pitiful heart concerning this matter. A person works for 13 years and thinks that they matter, but if you have to take a leave of absence, you really find out who cares. All I know is I will no longer be donating monies or sending cards to anymore staff members at my school when I return. I know that sounds hateful, but I was really crushed that nobody even sent an email to see how I've been. I've been out since the 13th and I will be out till March 1st as long as I heal quickly.
Enough moaning, lol. Lesson learned, husband says do your job and do not do extra anymore. :(
My dogs are keeping me company thru the days, which does help!
Hoping everyone is surviving the frigid cold weather out there!

3 weeks of non weight bearing on the right leg!

Omg! It's Day 3 and I'm stir crazy! Lol 
At least I do have my wheelchair now and crutches so that will help. I had my PRP procedure via CT/Ultrasound on Monday afternoon. I must be a turnip, it took the hospital lab tech 11 try's to draw my stem cells. Finally after an hour of being stabbed and bled, they took what they were able to get and off to the centriufe they went. One hour later they got me set up on the table and got me ready, I have to say, it hurt pretty bad! They don't give you anything due to the risk of meds changing the stem cells, afterward, they gave me something to help with the pain. Now to keep weight off the hamstring for 3 weeks. 
Tomorrow will be spent starting a new knitting project, baby booties for my niece's baby shower gift. So cross my fingers I can knit in time!

First ever knitted Cowl!

My first ever knitted cowl! Sweet! I bought this yarn from the Yarn Garden in downtown Lawrenceville. I wished I remembered the name and brand of the yarn! Lol
It is very soft and cozy feeling! 
Looks like I'll be getting to sit and knit a lot soon. My results from my MRI are bad news. :(
I have torn 2 of my hamstring tendons from the sit bone. :( totally pulled them off my butt bone! Ugh! Next up is 2 PRP injections in the hamstring region and hope for healing to start, they do the PRP injections one at a time, truthfully, they are horrible! The one I had in August put me down for 5 days! John had to help pick me up, the ortho doc wants to try this first before he decides to cut me open, cause if I have to do that route, I'll be in a leg brace for 6 weeks, then rehab. Ugh! 
Who would have ever though this would knock me out for the game! Pray friends, I'm despondent and depressed about not being able to just hop up and go do what I want.

How I rang in the New Year!

Totally loving this yarn! It is very soft and cozy! Hand dyed too, in my favorite colors! It will be a cowl when finished!
