On Wednesday, June 8th,
I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand.
I had the same surgery on my right hand back in February
and it took three months to heal which is the norm
according to the surgeon.
It is definitely a lot easier this time around
being that it's not my dominant hand so
I don't feel as debilitated as I did back in February.
For whatever reason, I'm having less pain this time too
so that is another bonus.
I'm linking up with Sunday Sketches this week.
You can check out the other participants HERE.
They paint your hand and forearm with a pink cleaning fluid
just before the procedure is done.
A bright, hot pink colour that isn't easy to wipe off.
I've been taking it fairly easy this week with strict instructions
not to use my left hand at all for two weeks.
*********************************************
We had a pretty morning sky yesterday.
A few days ago, I made turmeric lattes for me and Bradley.
SO yummy!
Turmeric is very good for you too.
It has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body
so great for people with arthritis and other aches and pains.
The recipe I used is below.
Ingredients below are for one standard cup.
Adjust accordingly for more cups.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup (250ml) Almond Milk - Sweetened
1 teaspoon Turmeric (fresh or ground)
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Coconut oil
METHOD
I warmed the Almond Milk on the stove top,
then added the dry ingredients
and let it get hot but not boiling.
I whisked the whole time to get a nice froth.
Then I added the coconut oil
just before pouring into the cup.
I sprinkled with a little nutmeg for garnish.
NOTES
You can use any plant-based milk.
If you use unsweetened milk,
you may want to add a teaspoon
of coconut sugar or raw sugar.
I used ground turmeric but,
if you use the fresh one,
it's up to you if you strain it or not.
A lot of people like to chew on the fresh one.
