Looks like I will be down for at least another month. But in the mean time I have a few cards I'd  like to share that I made with my gal pals, Debbie & Lorna, when I was able to sit at my craft desk for a little while over the past 2 1/2 months.

My oh my

I know I have been MIA for quite a while. Well it's due to some health issues that require me to sit with my leg elevated.
I miss making cards and miss all my crafty friends. I will be back as soon as I possibly can.

Thanks for noticing me.



Remembering the fallen on 09-11. God bless.

Day2 - Home

There's snow on the ground and it's chilly! But it is good to wake up another day after a good night's sleep in my own bed. Mike is working from home today. The roads are too treacherous for him to drive. I was grateful for that as my sis went home yesterday afternoon.

I am hoping to get started on the 40 invites to my great nephew Jackson's baby shower. I need to get rolling on this as the shower is March 19. I am creating the cards, sis is mailing them out and the mother of the little mother will be collecting the RSVPs.

So I am going to go rest my back a little while then I'm going to come back and try to get this started.

Thanks for hanging with me through my illness and for your sweet comments.

Day 1 - I AM HOME!!!!

Hellooo!
I am back at home finally. Had a great night sleep in my own bed. I still have a "pic line" in my arm and someone is supposed to come by today to show me how to use it for my intravenous antibiotics. There will also be someone coming on Tues. & Thurs. to draw blood to keep a check on my White Blood Count (WBC). It finally got down to 11.9 (normal is 11) on Monday so they told me I could come home.

My sis made it to town to sit and wait with me for a few hours until my actual release at about 7:15 p.m. We watched the bachelor and Castle (sis' picks). Then we all went to bed. I slept on my SIDES!!! This is a first since my surgery on the 6th of Jan. So it was a great accomplishment. I mist say, the stay in the hospital was VERY productive in the healing of my surgerical wounds. It is about 80% closed.

I feel terrific today. Was a slow start, as I move in sloe motion. But once I am up and the joints are lubricated I am good. So I am off to fix and eat some breakfast with my sister. So yawl hang in there. I'll be back to posting in the coming days.

Thank You ALL for the prayers and the kind words. They are all greatly appreciated.

Day 7 - Hospital Stay

Ok, now I've bout had enough of this place! Don't get me wrong. Everyone is wonderful, but I miss my home time with hubs and I miss Seamus and I miss just doing flat out whatever I feel good enough to do. It's confining here with no crafting. No play time at all. I sleep, eat, drink and pee. That's about the extent of it all.

Not to mention, I missed the beautiful SNOW that sent Dallas into a stand still. It was beautiul out my hospital window but I sure love to watch Seamus, The Big Lug play and jump in the snow. He loves it!

Ok, time for a shower and maybe a nap. If your still coming and checking in, Thank You for your loyalty. It's greatly appreciated.

Love,

Day 6 - Hospital Stay

Woke up feeling great! Thought I might be going home. Then doc. came in and said my WBC is still elevated and basically they will not release me until it is back to normal at 11, mine is 13.6. He says if it's normal on Sunday I should be good to go. Walked the halls and made it down to ICU waiting area. Sat there for about 20 minutes just looking at the snow that I missed all week. I do have of view of I-75 out my room window. Traffic moved at a snail's pace for a really long time. BUT , both day and night the snow was lovely to look at.

Anyhoo, at 4:45 p.m. I had chills again. Then by 5 I was so hot and tired I cut my walk down the hall in half and made a b-line to the chair in my room. I've been here ever since and it is now 6:10 p.m. Please keep me in prayers. New development this evening, muscle spasms in my back. Trying to get my doc. to prescribe a muscle relaxer for me.

Yawl take care too. I am so missing my creative time. But as many of you may know a hospital room (esp. ICU) is not condusive to crafting.

Much Love and Thanks for Yor prayers,

After waking at 4:30 a.m...

Getting ready and driving to the hospital and sitting in the pre-op for several hours they decided some very important equipment was NOT available. So surgery is postponed. So I will be posting something in the next days. I just have to get over the dissappointment and the frustration.

Surgery at butt crack of dawn....

Yep that's right, I'll be MIA for a few days as I am having surgery at the butt crack of dawn on Thursday, Dec. 9th. So if you don't see me posting to my blog you'll understand why. But like all crazy cardmakers I'll be back as soon as I can sit at my craft table to create and post.

Thanks for visiting me and commenting. I love the feedback.
