WOOPS!

Some of you have wondered what was going on when I didn't update my blog.

The big reason was that I spent almost all of my time sewing Christmas pajamas and I am not about to put the pictures I took of them on the blog until after Christmas.

We were successful in getting packages in the mail to India and Michigan. On Saturday night

around 11:00 p.m. I was just finishing up the 20th pair of pajamas when I got too tired and became careless and ran a needle through the middle fingernail on my left hand.

Here you can see the missing part of the needle and the hole in my finger.




On Monday (Dec. 3rd, we went to Urgent care where they took this picture but said they couldn't remove the needle point so they sent me to a specialist, Dr. Kevin Rose.

We stopped in at their office on our way home and, at first they didn't

think they could fit me in but by the time we got home we got a call saying they would see me at 4:00 that day. With the help of good, caring people, I was scheduled for surgery this morning (Wed. Dec. 5th) and the picture shows my bandaged finger and the needle tip that was removed.

A warning to all: Haste makes waste!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

I guess you really put blood, sweat and tears into those jammies! Hopefully, the children will appreciate your sacrifice. Good thing you were about done. Does it still hurt?

Sis. Hansen, this is Heather Morrison (Gresko) I am totally shocked you survived that long. I will always remember you sitting in your little corner with the black and white tv, sewing. I just love those memories. I have my 4th baby on Monday at LDS hospital. Send me your # to my email and will let you know how things go. I love reading your blog and seeing how your family is doing. redshoes595@hotmail.com
