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!

Awna

I have been wondering about you but hoped you were just busy with life-such as school work and kids. Sorry to hear that you have had to suffer more!
I sure hope you will be on the mend and can get back to your hobby (you are so talented). I was looking through an issue of Just Cards and saw some of your cards. Without even looking at the name I knew they were yours!
Take care and stop and see us here!!
