I don’t know if I’ve pulled a muscle (that’s really what it feels like) … but I’ve got tenderness in my right abdomen (mostly just below the rib cage). If it is a pulled muscle, I must have aggravated it while painting and made it worse by leaning over the side of my recliner to grab my iPad several times while quilting yesterday (no room on the end table next to my recliner, so I’ve always just laid it on the floor next to my chair). The tenderness came on slowly yesterday … by dinnertime, I was experiencing some pain when standing up straight, breathing deeply, etc. By bedtime, I was unable to find a comfortable sleeping position. I got up and figured I might as well do a little quilting … sitting upright in my recliner is a comfortable position. After a few hours of quilting, I finally was able to fall asleep in my recliner … but not for long. 
The upside is that I’m able to make progress on DH’s quilt … although truth be told, I’d rather be painfree. Once again, the fabrics are washed out in this picture … I took this with my iPhone in the middle of the night last night.
It seems impossible that in just 4 days, we’ll be in 2015. 
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Take care! I'm praying that you feel better as this day progresses. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon and that it is just a pulled muscle.
ReplyDeleteI do hope it is just a pulled muscle and nothing else, glad you have a doctor appointment already scheduled and it can be checked out at the same time. i usually do up a post at the end of the year for accomplishments to make myself feel good about what has been made and finished and I have only started to briefly look through my blog to see what was done - I guess I need to get busy!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hopefully you'll be feeling better before you even get to the doctor on Tuesday. Happy stitching in the meantime. Try Tylenol PM or something similar to help with the pain and to help you sleep.
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with your health! Take care. Love the colours in your log cabin!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your in pain. Nothing worse then hurting and not even being sure why. Hopefully you will be feeling better before you even go to the docs. And yep, in the meantime getting lots of quilting done would be a bonus. Hope you have a GOOD day. and are able to get comfy tonight for a much better sleep!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you feel better asap! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. At least you are comfortable when quilting. Your quilt is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the quilt will be gorgeous, and I wish you a speedy recovery on that abdominal pain!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. Hope you feel better real soon!
ReplyDeleteI've been off-line a while, so I'm just now catching up with everyone. I hope your abdominal pain subsides as quickly as it came on! I agree, 2014 flew by entirely too quickly.

Hi Kathy, I'm hoping your muscle is fine by now-I was awake last night a lot too. Love your newest quilt; I spent the afternoon taking down decorations and probably 3/4 of the way done. At least everything will be nice and back to normal, so I can then focus on sewing. I keep saying that don't I. Sending hugs your way!

Hope you get answers and resolution to your pain!
ReplyDeleteI just had my annual mammogram today and as I walked into the office my first thought was, "It can't have been a year since I was last here. Seems like I just barely did this!"
I agree--where did the year go?!?
Good progress on the quilting! Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling much better. Take care of yourself!
