Hi Everyone, a card from me today for one of my Niece's, it was quite simple, due to reasons I shall expand on below. It was made with 2 sets of dies and a stamped sentiment. I really haven't been in the mood for card making and only doing DT cards as far in advance as I could.
I feel I have to explain, why I have been absent from commenting and only doing my DT work. Aprilish to July, I had a limp, getting worse, I put it down to sciatica. One night, I turned to get into bed and was hit by the most excruciating pain. To cut a long and very painful time short, it turned out to be arthritis in my hip, and what was described as a "grumpy femoral nerve", which means the pain goes from my waist to below my knee. Meaning a referral for a hip replacement. I was lucky that my brother brought me a wheely walker, he still had, after my late SiL, so that I can, just about, get around the house. I have been having treatment at the hospital, with physiotherapy and pool therapy. Some days they work, others not. THEN, on top of it all, both hubby and I contracted Covid, both of us have been quite poorly, hubby worse than me and 3 weeks later we are still not well, again him worse than me. It's the first time we have had it, so I suppose we have been lucky. I know a lot of you are in far worse suffering than me, but it has hit me for six, with the constant pain. It has been a sudden change of roles for me too, from being active, with ageing aches and pains, to a being a complete invalid, not able to stand or walk without an aid.
I hope I shall start to get around to you when some days are better than others, like today. Sorry about the moans, but thought you needed an explanation for my absence. Wishing you are all well.
