Midweek Post - update

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to all who left well wishes. The OP went off well. The scar tissue on my eye has been removed and the left retina lasered to stop it tearing again. Afterwards I slept all morning, had lunch and coffee and was allowed to go home after the doc had checked me again and told me what they had done. Now I need to continue the treatment with drops twice a day and ointment twice a day. Next week I need to go back for a control visit. I'm happy it's over and done with. The doc said I shouldn't be doing housew***, or bending or lifting in the next few days – what a lovely man!

This is a scheduled post as I  explained yesterday, will catch up with you all later!

I have another tag for my 'add a sentiment' challenge at Tag Tuesday:

I used the same masterboard for the background, a TH paper doll and one of my painted and sewed leaves:





And some of the art installations in the Kunstpalast (Art Palace) Museum in Düsseldorf:








The Foyer of the Museum:







Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    Go to bed. Get a good night's sleep and rest your eye(s) following your procedure today. We'll touch base again tomorrow. Hugs, David

    I hope your eye surgery is a success, dear. I worry about you when I hear eye and surgery in the same sentence.

    I absolutely LOVE the art installations. They are all so unbelievable. And the stained glass windows are amazing.

    I also enjoyed the tag. I like how the boy is hanging onto the thread, too. Great job and beautifully created.

    Another lovely tag - I do like the paint you have used on the background and the leaf is very interesting.
    So glad the operation went well and you are hoe and recuperating. I once damaged my eye and had to have drops and ointment to stop it keep tearing but now all is well so I hope yours gets the same attention and heals.
    Love the museum pictures, looks a very interesting place to visit. Next time maybe?

    Wonderful news all the way round, dear Valerie. Not only was the surgery a success, so was the fact you get out of doing housew**k for a few days.

    It was good news to read that all had gone well for you and that the surgery was successful. I do hope you will take things easy for a while and follow the doctors instructions, especially avoiding the 'H' word for a while.
    Your art pieces looked fantastic and I did enjoy seeing the photos from the museum.
    Look after yourself Valerie.
