Yes, it's been six months. I was in the midst of selling our house and building a new house when things went askew. The house sold before our house was built which left us homeless. I moved in with different friends during that time while my DH took up residence with one of his friends.
Internet was troublesome.... internet usage was minimal in some locations.
Once into our new house, there was lots of unpacking and finding items. Then...my biggest trouble began. I was losing my sight in one eye. Example, if I was looking at a car or a person, I could only see 1/2 of them and any image left was very distorted. I was diagnosed with being in the stage 4 of having a macular hole. Two surgeons teamed up and they preformed their miracles. Recovery was 4 weeks. I won't go into detail, but the weird things you have to do for a good recovery is weird and hard. Anyhoooo, the gas bubble implanted in my eye was a success and now gone and the stitches in my eye have been removed. My vision will improve over the next 6 months - 1 year.
I don't know where/how to begin with my card making. I hope it's like bicycle riding and I will feel comfortable soon. I am getting ready to make a card....almost scary...haha
Thanks to all for the support and Doodle Pantry for letting me take the time off to move and recover.... A wonderful leader and team there.
OK...time to go make a card!!!!!!!!

Oh, my, Cely, you really have been through it! But I'm so glad to have you back. You truly have been missed, my friend. Looking forward to new creations from you. I'm sure you'll be back in the swing of things before you know it. So glad to hear that you're safely in the new house. Blessings to you. :-D
ReplyDeleteI have missed you, sorry to hear about your series of misfortunes. That's the way my life has gone, so I know how you must feel. Good luck with getting it all going again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogland! Sorry to hear about the eye issues (I can relate!). Glad all is going well, and healing is under way!
ReplyDeleteWow Cely, you really have had a time of it. I'm so glad you are back and that you are on the road to recovery. How scary to be losing your sight. I'm pretty sure card making is just like riding a bicycle...I was away from it for 3 years and came back...it was fun and exciting and since you're such an awesome card marker, it will be super easy for you. Can't wait to see what you create. I've missed you!!!

ReplyDeleteAll I can say is your natural artistic abilities do not go away, so I have no worries that you won't get back on that horse. I'm so glad all of that is done and over with. You are so brave to have gone through all that! I've missed you!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed you were missing, but I had no idea about all this! Glad your through surgery and by the looks of things recovering well, your cards are gorgeous as ever so I don't think you need worry on that score, Jx
