POST-SURGERY KNITTING

Life post-surgery goes hand in hand with painkillers, many painkillers. I often make jokes about myself being high on drugs, but obviously I don’t mean that in the negative sense. It’s an absolute well controlled way of being “high”, and to be honest, I thank the world of medicine for inventing such well dosed drugs, because without it I wouldn’t know where I would be at the moment. Same for the pill I take on a daily base now my thyroid has been completely removed. It’s a wonderful thing that only one small little pill can take over in the absence of a thyroid. However, I’m not there yet… in fact, I’m far from the regular “me”. To give you an idea, without a thyroid your complete hormone system is lost, my metabolism is out of control, and my mental and physical well-being is destroyed. I’m not going to sugar coat it, life post-surgery so far is pretty heavy. But on the other hand, and everyone around me knows, I’m extremely positive – I’m underlining this because it might not seem so when reading the previous. I feel fine in-between the moments of pain, heat flashes, and sleepless nights. Talking about heat flashes… Jeeeees, how in the world will I be able to move around in Celine’s/Stella’s/Sonia’s knitted pieces this fall?! I mean seriously, I’ll have to move to the Arctic if I ever want to take on this trend. Such a sad thing, because I cannot tell you how much I love this. Especially when my model-crush Ophelie Guillermand does her editorial amazingness in it…

Lust away with me and this editorial piece Ophelie Guillermand and Jason Kibbler shot for Vogue Russia September 2014.
