I have been MIA

I don't usually use this blog for personal use just for my crafts but I have been gone for a few days and wanted to tell you why. First off I hurt my back at work in May and have been going thru manipulations and PT since. I wrote the bottom section to family and friends in a message on FB and thought I could share it here as well.
I had an appointment with the pain clinic on Wednesday for an injection in my back and that went well until later in the evening and this is the rest of it: I started leaking spinal fluid and came down with this massive headache and vomitting. I thought my head was going to explode. Called the Pain Clinic Thurs morning and they get me back in for procedure #2. They had to draw blood from my arm and inject it into the injection site from the day before. This blood would clot and create a plug so the fluid would not leak out anymore. That procedure hurt. Then I had to lay flat for 24 hours only to get up and use the restroom. So Paul packed up my stuff and whisked me away to the cottage. I woke him up all thru the night after each movie was done and had him come out and change it and help me up to use the bathroom. Now I'm home with major restrictions and hurt worse then before the PC experience. It just hasn't been going well for me. Maybe things have to get really bad before they get better. Who knows. I thought you all would like to know what happened and this saves me from making tons of calls.


PS... This only happens one in 200 people. The nurse that we had said she had been there four years and has never seen it happen. Why can't I have or beat those odds for the lotto or something good. Lol

Christmas cards all Year Round September challenge

Hi to all. Today starts a new challenge over at Christmas Cards all Year Round. This months challenge is to make cards that are not the normal shape of 4x51/2. I pulled out my Creative Memories cutting system and made a circle card, and two scallop shaped cards (see picture of shapes below). All you do is double the paper and then leave one  side uncut. I then cut patterned paper a little bit smaller on the scallop shapes and the same size for the circle shape.
Christmas is right around the corner so why not get a start on your cards. Head over to CCAYR for some inspiration from the DT and a chance to win a awesome prize:)
