Thanks to all of you that
PICKED A TABLE TO SIT AT!

Second Place Goes To:

Flowers Flowers Everywhere
Almost tied
Rustically Refined       &      Whoot It's Wheat
                                 source                                                                     source
It's funny but I know some of you so well
that I kind of know when I post the pictures
which one you will vote for.

Thank you all for your prayers.
I did nothing yesterday except rest.
I don't want you all to worry about me because
what I had done was minor surgery in 
the big scale of things
and I don't want to leave you guessing.
I will tell you that I had some surgery on my eyes.
I had a growth that had to be removed 
and my vision has been impaired by about 40%.
My computer time is limited for a few days
because my eyes are scratchy feeling
and need to heal.
I have quite a few stitches and let's just say
IT AIN'T PURTY!

I did NOT want to have this done
but I realized that I could not see
the ceiling when I was looking 
straight ahead.

The Dr. thought I would need a skin graft
where the growth was
but I did not need one 
AND 
he was able to save my lash line.
THAT is a good thing, 
as Martha Stewart would say.

You know...I was really kind of stupid about 
the whole thing.
I should have scheduled the surgery for 
HALLOWEEN WEEK.
Then I would have been all set.
I could wrap myself in rags and be one of 
THE LIVING DEAD!

Usually I am just a 
WITCH.
No costume necessary!

Have A Happy Columbus Day!

You DID know it was Columbus Day, didn't you?

Anonymous said...

you are so funny, I am really glad you didn't need a skin graft, that would have made more healing necessary! Keep resting,

Jettie said...

U can sit with me, we can be purdy together.

Cranberry Morning said...

I'm hoping the healing goes well and fast, Diana! I'm sorry I missed the survey. I would have chosen the first one also. And Yes, I did know it was Columbus Day because the package I labeled for shipping today won't go out now until tomorrow. Grrr. Oh well, it's a small town post office. I think they will forgive me.

Tessa~ Here there be musing said...

Wow! My choice won, this time! Imagine that! -grin-

Thank you so much, for telling us about your minor surgery. In a vacuum of info, women can conjure up all sorts of false possibilities. Thank you for not leaving us, in that.

Rest. Heal. Hugs.

Yay! I'm in good company. I picked #1 too. That picture of that witch is creepy! Glad that you're healing well. Speaking of eyes, I just noticed a broken blood vessel in my eye last night. It looks HORRIBLE now and I've never had one before. It's all red in the white part of my eye on one side. I looked it up online and it said it will take a couple of weeks to go away. Nooooooo! I'm going to scare people when they see me.

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

OH I'm glad the surgery is over without complications! Now, you go rest and get some pampering!! xoxo

Red Rose Alley said...

Oh Diana, take care of those eyes; your eyes are precious. I hope you have a speedy recovery from your surgery.

Yaaaaay, I picked table number one. How could I not? It's so lovely. Have a good Autumn week, and rest your eyes, please?

love,
~Sheri

Dee said...

Oh that picture at the end creeped me out. I wasn't expecting that.. lol.

I am glad to hear that your surgery went well. Just continue to rest and take care... :)

Shirley said...

Good morning Diana, It is cool 56 and raining so I am reading blogs this morning. Please take care of those eyes. They are very precious. We go Wednesday to see if the injection is working in Hubby's eye. I couldn't decide which table setting I liked best so I didn't comment because you wouldn't let me vote for all of them. It is always so hard to decide wedding decorations. I can remember the trouble we had when our daughter got married. They ended up making theirs. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

Donna said...

I hope you are feeling better today, Diana! You have been in my thoughts. I missed your table voting post. Not sure which one I would have picked, it would be a toss up between the winner, and the one with the wheat. I especially love that one, I guess 'cuz I am the daughter of a wheat farmer:)

Simply LKJ said...

You always come up with the best round up of table settings. Praying for continued healing!!

Jackie See said...

Heal fast Diana! I loved all the choices!

Row homes and Cobblestones said...

WOW Diana you are a brave one to face that surgery! Thankfullly you still have those lashes to bat at your Hero.
Sending healing kisses you way.

Connie said...

Hi Diana, I am happy that you are feeling well enough to joke about your surgery. I am praying for a speedy recovery.
I had forgot that it was Columbus Day. I wonder if Steve remembered, if his Mom was still with us, this would be her birthday:)
I wonder if they celebrate birthdays in heaven . . . I'm thinking that they have more important things to celebrate, right :)
Have a lovely day, REST AND STAY OFF THE COMPUTER! LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR!
Love you, your blogging sister, Connie :)

Katie Mansfield said...

I'm so sorry. I'm glad all went well. I hoe you have a speedy recovery.

Lisa @ Texas Decor said...

So, so glad your eye surgery went well! Take some time for yourself and get lots of rest. That pic of the witch is so creepy!! My son is dressing up as a zombie this year. He's well stocked on fake blood. Lol!

J said...

I'm just glad you are okay! Amazing what doctors can do for us these days!

Catherine said...

I am so happy that all went well. Rest and take good care.

LOL.. I'm glad your surgery went well.

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

So glad to hear that you are resting, I know that is hard for you because you are such a go getter. I just love #1 so pretty.
Have a great week.
Mary

Katie said...

Glad surgery went well, sorry I have been gone for a while kids keep me so busy. Your blog is so uplifting and your comments always encourage me so thank you friend!!!

Shirley@Housepitality Designs said...

I am so glad that your surgery went well...been in and out of town...in between lots of company, so trying to catch up....take care of your eye!!!

Junkchiccottage said...

Glad you are feeling better Diana. Been thinking about you. Happy Monday.

Susie said...

Diana, No Mail today. That's how I usually know it's a federal holiday. :) Glad you had a successful surgery. You call it minor...but when it's our eyes...hey I think that's major. Get all the rest you can. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

Debbie said...

You might have kept your lashes, but are you aware they took your irises???
Glad you are doing well, sweet friend. Continue to rest, and hopefully your eyes will look better in a few days...wink.
Debbie

Nonnie said...

Not sure how I missed your announcement about the surgery, but glad it is taken care of. I think I would have been pretty nervous about that, but our eyesight is just so precious. Your sense of humor is always precious. Prayers for healing and yes, I was aware of Columbus Day and how he sailed the ocean blue in 14 hundred and 92 and I'm glad he did.

An Oasis in the Desert said...

Sorry I missed the announcement, but I am so glad you are on the mend!

Gypsy Heart said...

I hope that you will really, really rest and take care of yourself! Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning ~ :)

P.S. Still LOVE #1

Chatty Crone said...

Your getting to know us huh? I bet. I am glad you got it removed before it became worse or harder to remove. You should be relaxing and not on the computer!

Michele M./ Finch Rest said...

Fast healing to you, dear lady.

Dang, I missed your table vote. I hate missing those, love them.

Well come on over for a visit to see MY tablescape? : - )

Take care, no heavy lifting either! And rest rest rest those pretty eyes of yours.

Hugs.

Sweet Tea said...

Glad the surgery is OVER!! Be kind to your eyes and let them rest a lot.
We'll be here when your peepers are aglow once again.
"Wheat" for me - simple and pretty!

Pam Kessler said...

Glad you took care of your eye, girl! Rest up and have MyHero (YourHero?) wait on you hand and foot and you'll be back to your old self in no time (not saying you're old or anything)!

Jane@Bluebird1959 said...

So happy you had the surgery and all turned out well. Hallelujah for the saving of the lash line!! Keep on healing, Jane

SImple and Serene Living said...

I have to admit I am kind of creeped out by anything that has to do with the eyes. My daughter had to have a shot in her eye once. They almost had to peel me off the floor. SO happy that you are doing well and that your lashes are still ever so lovely. xo Laura

Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoes said...

Wishing you an easy and speedy recovery, Diana! Glad it wasn't as complicated as you thought it might be!

FABBY'S LIVING said...

I pick #2...although they're all great choices!
Oh honey, I hope you get better soon and mend pretty well. Yes, I too thank God for you not having a complicated situation as you thought. I'm glad the surgery is over. Will keep praying for you, sweetie!
Love ya!
FABBY

Kim said...

Feel better soon, Diana! Xxoo

Joy Junktion said...

Though it is Never fun to have surgery of any kind (and I've had several), I'm sure glad you decided to do it and take care of yourself!! Hope you are feeling better soon and please take care of your eyes! Yes, I knew it was Columbus Day and I actually know what it means :) LOL~~

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

So glad you are taking care of yourself, Diana! It's scary to have surgery, especially on your eyes, but glad you got through it and now you can focus on recovery. Glad to see your sense of humor is still intact, too! Sending healing prayers to you. xo Karen

Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalow said...

You are one funny lady / get better soon! :)

Musings from Kim K. said...

Getting caught up after my trip to Denver. I'm glad your surgery went well. Rest those pretty eyes!

At Rivercrest Cottage said...

only you could make me laugh when reading about something as serious as surgery! hope you recover quickly as I need your upbeat posts to keep me sane.

Janice Kay Schaub said...

OH dear, I am so sorry I am sure that was scary. I can imagine what it was like. When my vision began to go it made me walk into things. I am so glad yours was fixed and will be alright in the end. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Janice
