Hello Shackies!
First let me say that I am touched at the birthday cards that I have recvd! I have not been on lately and I just assumed that since I haven't been on that you guys would have forgotten about me. That isn't the case!
I have gotten some beautiful b-day cards, and of course they couldn't have come at a better time! You have made my week with the beautiful cards, esp. while I am on couch arrest while I recover from this surgery.
Many of you may have remembered last year around this time I was battling some pretty nasty pain issues (due to a broken toe) and was having all sorts of things done trying to get rid of the pain. Back on Sept. I had a spinal Cord Stimulator implanted to help control the pain...well, 2 weeks after the darn thing broke!
I basically have been suffering with this nerve pain (also known as RSD) that has left me pretty much house bound, unable to walk without assistance, I have not been able to do anything. The nerve pain has also spread from my toe up my leg & hip up into my arm & shoulder.
I haven't stamped in over a year! This has been the worst thing ever for me considering how much I was involved in stamping and how I use to teach, etc. (Which is how I stubbed my toe & got hurt in the first place, circle of life, haha!)
Anyways...on Tuesday (3-2) I went in to have the implant repaired after 6-7 months of fighting with doctors & insurance companies...so now I am on the mend again.
So, I hope that you don't think that I have turned into one of those people that have just vanished, I really do miss you guys, think about you a lot.
You have made my week with the beautiful cards, esp. while I am on couch arrest while I recover from this surgery. I hope it works this time so I can use my arm again and stamp soon!!!
Miss you guys!
