While waiting for 5 stitches in my nose


This large pot with a tropical twiner in it was by the door where I had my "procedure" done! So while waiting I sketched it. I didnt feel like sketching anything after the anaesthetic was taking affect.
We are not having a good foaling season, one dead filly who didnt get out of the bag, a breach birth and they die so quickly when that happens. Not the best thing when I was not feeling brilliant this morning having not slept well. I think there are about 15 foals still to go.
The nose, well I dont like the fact that it seems to have changed shape, I do not like looking into my nostrils (one of my pet hates) but perhaps when some of the swelling goes that will too. Otherwise I will never look in a mirror again. It has bled and felt uncomfortable, so what did I expect.
Tomorrow with any luck I will be able to go to Adelaide to visit my mother and startle all the inhabitants with my grotty stitches and blood under tape.
I have done some other stuff, the sort I put in Back Valley Seasons (in the links).

Very nice plant. I'm sorry to hear about the foals. I hope your nose recovers quickly.

Penny, I'm so sorry to hear about your op. It must be miserable for you waiting for it to heal and the pain to go.
