Back from the check up.....

Back again from my check up in the hospital......

and the doctor was very pleased ! = )

He also said that it was a very good sign that we are using smaller catheters now (went from a 12 to a 8) and when we are cleaning the wound there's basicly no yukkie stuff anymore but more blood.

This because the body makes new blood vessels when the wound is almost clean and healthy and they are still so fragile these blood vessels they bleed very easily.....

We need to keep cleaning the wound and keep using this product called Kaltostat,

it looks like a piece of felt and it's algae based.....

Kaltostat pulls the bacteria out of the wound and even kills it !!

So hurray for Kaltostat.... I'm so grateful that the "girls" from Aafje came up with the idea to start using this product because just rinsing out the wound wasn't enough

and it would even take longer.

They have a lot more experience dealing with wound then a surgeon,

because they are useually nurses them selves

and they do the after-care.... not the surgeon ; )

And they also have two wound experts, so if they need advice they can always ask one of the experts.

The next check up is 4 weeks from now.... can't wait to see what the wound looks like then = )

Got to sneeze.......

Hatsjoe....... sorry got to sneeze I've got a bit of a cold ! =(

Luckily I don't feel sick or anything just my nasal cavities are closed up from time to time..... and then a runny nose or a sneeze.

I think there was a bit of draft in my wound.... hahaha =P

Anyways this afternoon it's time again for a new check up in the hospital.... very curious to hear what he has to say and if they are going to do another test to see if the bacteria is still there or not !? The wound looks very clean these last couple of days and there's basicly no yukkie stuff coming out more blood and that's a good sign they say, that means the tissue inside the wound is basicly clean and healthy ! Fingers crossed for me !! ; )

Hoping the new HobbyHanding 163 magazine is out because it contains lovely creations from the Eline's Winterhuis collection !!

How beautiful a rose can be.....

Aren't they gorgeous these pure Dutch roses !?!?

Oh how beautiful a rose can be.....

and it makes you proud to be Dutch ; )

This time I bought them on my favorite market store and I love roses as you know especially when they are extra strong roses that last at least a week (for sure)

my favorite market store

What do you think......

So what do you think should I get some curls !?

Hmmmm..... no better not, but it is time for a visit to the hairdresser today.... finally !

The last time my hairdresser was so sweet to come to my place (because of that stupid gall bladder) so I looked good going to the hospital, haha.... and that's been over 2 months now =/

Normally I have "spiky hair" and there's no way I can create "spikes" with my hair this "long" ; )

So I'm going to treat myself with a visit to the hairdresser today

and also to "celebrate" that there's almost no yukkie stuff coming out of the wound anymore

and we are using thinner catheters since last night !! = )

Oh and I'm making a new creation.....

but you have to wait until it's finished =P

Started to remove the old wallpaper.....

This afternoon I started to remove the old wallpaper..... now the large pieces are easy to remove, but I have to remove everything even the older wallpaper that was still sitting underneath.

It all has to be concrete because the new wallpaper is fleece wallpaper.... oh well at least we have something to do.

By the way I could use all of your good luck wishes because I can win this "Hyannis Port Bench" by Riviera Maison.....

and I want it soooooo bad !! =P

I'm hoping.....wishing..... praying and keeping my fingers crossed until October 13th, not easy typing by the way, haha ; )

Speaking about winning I made the TOMIC top 5 (challenge #14) this week with my "Magnolia Edwin & Tilda a day at the seaside......"

I need a cup of coffee......

Ok I need a cup of coffee....

pffff what a morning it has been so far !

It all started when I wanted to take a shower and all of a sudden the water was cut off.... not it's not that we haven't paid the bill, hahaha.... but they are working on the sewers in this neighbourhood.

There I was standing in the shower with a head full of shampoo and NO WATER !!!! =(

I was lucky to have bottled water (in the fridge, brrrr) but do you know how COLD it is to wash yourself with plain cold water..... blèhhhh =P

Anyways.... I did a good deed today... yep, I saved a bumblebee from a spiderweb ! = )

I just got home and saw the bumblebee struggle to get out, but the more they do that the more they get stuck.

So I got a piece of twig and pulled the bumblebee out.... placed it on a leave and after the bumblebee cleaned of its wings and leggs he flew away to collect more pollen = )

I know spiders have to eat as well, but eat those annoying mosquitoes or those dirty bluebottles in stead.

And last but not least a new bouquet of flowers....

I wanted white flowers again and this one was the only one at the florist, later I realized that the white anthurium has a special meaning..... anthuriums are used for funerals etc.

And what a coincidence because today it's exactly 1 year ago that my sweet dear old grandma passed away.

So I dedicate this bouqet to her ! = )

p.s. I had that cup of coffee in the meantime....

now it's time for a second one and to relax ; )
