Well, I am ready. Tomorrow is the big day! It seems I have waited so long for this and now it is here, it is rather a let down and now, of all times, the worries set in. The "what ifs?" are attacking. What if a nerve is not reattached right? What if my body rejects the metal of the knee? What if What if What if....
Somebody give me drugs and knock me out!
My plan with the blog has changed the last week. I was going to just skip the surgery fact and keep trying to come up with "creative subjects" here like I envision this thing to be. However, as we all know, I am not too successful so far in finding and writing those creative subjects regularly! It has gotten so that the last couple weeks I thought maybe I should shut this blog down. Then realized since very few people even know about it, I can keep and just play and see what happens.

Cookbook Finished
I finished the cook book yesterday and gave it to my son. He did appreciate it enough to satisfy me it was a good present. I have kept it for now as still need to varnish it for protection. Getting the proper varnish while housebound may be a trick!
Here is a link to a picture of the whole book finished. Past blog entries have more on what or how I did this little book. The blog for the month of December and January has actually been updated backwards. I have been keeping some writings on my progress but found I could not really write the last few weeks since surgery. Cutting paper, gluing, writing little sentences was ok, but not really writing something such as this was not possible.
I noticed the "finishing let down" from this project just as much as any commissioned one gives me. That feeling like, "Now what? What do I do to occupy this amount of time I have been obsessed with this project?" Not that I don't have a list of things I want to do, it is just focusing on which one and letting go of the last one which is hard.
I think this week's project will be getting this blog up to date. I am seeing enough healing in my knee and my ability to focus or DO something regardless of the drugs, getting noticeably better now.
