When recovering from surgery, here are some ideas for how to take care of yourself:

1. Get lots of rest. Your body is rebuilding!

2. Now is the perfect time to catch up on that book series you've been meaning to read.

3. Hydrate well and eat easy to digest food. Eat smaller meals more often. Maybe keep a snack bag by the couch/bed.

4. KNIT SHRIMP.

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Crocheting a shrimp typically involves creating an amigurumi body using a magic ring, single crochets, increases, and decreases, often worked in continuous rounds. The body is usually stuffed and curved, with a tail created by chaining and decreasing, or by working stitches directly onto the body.

Specific Techniques:
Curving: To create a shrimp shape, sew or stitch the tail end to the middle of the body.
Color Changes: Use white and orange/pink yarn to create a more realistic, cooked appearance.
Tempura Style: For a tempura shrimp, use thicker yarn and the alpine stitch to simulate the texture.
