My doctor and the hospital just ordered me to stay in the house from Friday thru Tuesday when I am having my gall bladder removed. I can say I am not liking it very much. I had planned on being in Church today and tomorrow running some last minute errands. Well this whipped this idea out the window.
The good thing however is I have this quilt that I am working on and this is keeping me busy for the most part and when I am taking a break for sewing I can come back over here and play.I still have about 100 more 9 patches to do for this quilt. It is taking shape too. I will get as much done before my surgery so I can take a couple days off to recover and not feel like I abandoned this quilt.
I believe the media is hyping the Coronavirus up because there have been a lot of slow news days. Panicking people is just unjustified.
