NOTE:Â This was written prior to surgery.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I will be going to rehab after my knee replacement surgery. At this facility, ortho patients are required to wear shorts for all therapy sessions. SHORTS!!! Good grief! I haven’t worn shorts in public, except for yard work, since 1986.  Certainly, something would be needed to draw the eye up from the legs.
Embroidery to the rescue! Several designs from Loralie’s Have A Fit collection work well on the shirts I have embroidered to wear with the mandated shorts.
“The incision was my own little touch. Loralie is not into scars.
This design is called Torture, precisely what I will be groaning as Susan, my therapist, pushes me to my limits. She and her family were our back door neighbors when she was growing up. Now she is the recognized as the best therapist in the rehab business. When I’m not moaning, we will be having a good time chatting about the neighborhood.
This is the last embroidery that will be done before I go for my knee surgery. All of the projects I had planned to finish pre-surgery have now become post-rehab. Robert’s bright yellow hooded towel (thank you, Elizabeth, for the source link!) with the dolphin design he chose, the tote bag for my darling daughter-in-law’s birthday, new pillowcases and window valances for the grandchildren’s bedroom here at Nana’s house, a new 3X Gator shirt for my giant outpatient rehab therapist who is a former Florida Gator football player etc. —all post rehab. Oh, well.
But I will be busy with handwork, smocking for Alastair and Laurel and perhaps stitching some shadow embroidery, if I have any energy left after those grueling two-and sometimes-three-a-day workout sessions.
Appreciate your easily bending knees and the joy of being at home–for me.
