Magicas Puntadas SAL 2011 - Part 3

I've finished my Part 3 before Part 4 is released on 10th April. This was a big instalment, particularly the green part on the left.

February Friendship Exchange

You may remember this piece that I stitched and sent to Ruby:

Well I've finally gotten around to taking a picture of the piece I received from Venessa. It's a cute hand towel - I can't put it out in my house as my grubby teenage son will just ruin it but when this house is teenager-free I'll be putting it out on display (or perhaps in my craft room when just one of them moves out and I get my own crafty space!)

Thanks Venessa!

Not for those of a nervous disposition...

I have the long-awaited endoscopic pictures from my shoulder ligament repair in September.

This is the xray taken before my MRI, they used this to inject the contrast fluid in. You can see the contrast as the dark patch behind the top of my arm. The very dark spot on the top is from three failed attempts to get the contrast into my joint. Later that day and the next day I began to react to the contrast and had kidney pain and felt awful. This lasted for three days and was rather unpleasant!

Below you can see one of the endoscopic picture taken during the surgery. The tear in my posterior ligament can be clearly seen - the ragged edge a the top should be joined to the other ragged edge in the middle.
