Splenectomy

On November 27th 2018 my spleen was removed due to two BIG cysts on it. I had two procedures to aspirate the cysts but they could only get to one the other was too risky. The procedures did not work, fluid fill the cyst after, so the only thing that could be done was a Splenectomy. This has changed my life forever. Right now I'm healing both physically and mentally. The emotion of the loss of my spleen is like when someone dies. There are stages that one goes through. I'm going through these stages. Before my surgery I could not concentrate so I was only able to do mindless knitting.

I received gift certificates to my LYS so knitting will be happening again. :)
