Well I'm back to as normal as I can get. No more pain, no more stent but I did have a day on friday. I had 1 1/2 percocet left and one of the fragments of the kidney stone picked that day to move. The pain was really bad so I took all that I had to relieve it. The next day on Saturday I felt horrible. I had body chills, headache, body aches and a general feeling of miserable. As it turned out I was having withdrawal from the Percocet. I never thought that someone's body could get hooked on a drug that fast and then have to go thru withdrawal. I had only taken a total of 25 pills in the two weeks. Never again will I take so many of those horrible pills.
I want to tell you a story about a terrific designer who has a heart of gold. I was on a cross stitch forum the other day and I saw a picture of a Cross Eyed Cricket design that I fell in love with. The name of it was Wicked Patch. I looked it up on her website but didn't see it listed so I thought it was a free design and I decided to contact Vicki Hastings the designer. I received a message back from her telling me that she would not be home for about 2 weeks but she would look it up when she did. About 2 weeks later I got an email from her telling me that that was a design she did for a special store and they were going to have a class on it. Because the class was so many years ago, she felt that she could send it to me without doing any damage. This is it and it arrived on Saturday. I think this goes way above being a wonderful designer and a wonderful person also.
Now because I received this free and it is a copy of her original design I'm going to give this away when I'm finished with it. I started it today and I will tell you that this design must be done on a linen type fabric because of some specialty stitches. There are some SNC silks that I have to order and they will be included with all the other fibers (dmc floss) for the giveaway. The reason this design hit my heart so hard was there are 3 little dressed up pumpkins....witch, ghost and mummy.....which to me represents my 3 little monsters with Evelyn coming in August. I will post updates and hopefully this won't take too long to stitch. I love all the colors and I know you will too.
Blessings to All, Barbara

Some people really care and will go the extra for others. I Hope you will soon feel much better.
Barbara: What a sweet Lady she is, it is an adorable design.
Please do not include me in the giveaway, I am way behind in stitching what I have.
I hope you are getting better, so sorry about the withdrawal symptoms.
Have a beautiful week.

So glad you are done with it all and feeling better. I can't swallow pills so I hope I never need anything stronger than the liquid Advil!
Darling design and what a nice thing for her to do.
Gee, I so hope you are feeling better.

What a sweet stitch you are working on, Barbara! And what a kind and generous thing the designer did! Hope this week brings more calm and good health your way. Love the verse/image you closed your post with!
What a generous thing for Vicki to do. I am glad you are done with the pain and misery dear Barbara.
You take care of yourself my friend!!!
I am so glad you are feeling better. When I had knee replacement I took tramadal. That is not suppose to be addictive but I did have lots of issues when I stopped taking it. They suggested you stop it gradually but after seeing what it did , I stopped immediately. I love that pattern and I totally agree, what a nice designer!!
