What a great time to get in on the TLC119 challenge on SCS I needed a cute Fathers day card for Hubby and I know its next week But by the time I send it and he gets it We may well be over with Fathers day , So I made it and already sent it out to hubby & all I have is this cute photo reminder of what I did in a whirl wind this morning .. I was so excited to use so many pieces of my Palette O' Prints for this baby ..I was a stampin fool all morning . I Didnt get my new goodes until right before church last night and of course didn't Have time to play let alone get them mounted Boo Hoo HUH? This may be different story today .. I will try and get them mounted and hopfully play later today . I have P.T this morning and also we have plans to go to Jessie's school and cash in her books for a buy back . High school is way different than middle school and way more expensive .. So who knows how long this will take .. We may reschedule for Friday morning instead of today since it is smack dab in the middle of the day today and Fridays is at least in the morning ...
I have a bunch of new goodies I stamped from yesterday so this will tie us over until I can actually get to dig into the Brand new goodies from Fall/Winter preview mini this week ..
Update on my knee :
Last P.T appointment Todd had me do something different Usually he has me sit with my legs hanging over the tall table and he bends my knee backwards having it go under the table .. BUT this time he had me lay down on the table on my tummy and then he started to bend my knee well I think My foot touched my butt .NO kidding .. My knee bent so Great Of course all along he is telling me to relax and go with the bend.OUCHIE!! BUT Guess what?? Today is the day I get to stop wearing my lovely white ever so fashionable TED stockings YIPPIE!! Today has been 4 weeks since my surgery and It was the best thing I could have done .. You know what is coming next dont you ? I wish I had done it sooner .. ( But seriously It wasn't time before ) I really dont think anyone would know that I had surgery 4 weeks ago just from looking at me .. BUT I am always willing to show anyone and everyone my scar if they want to see .. Now thats something to be proud of Hee! Hee! actually everyone I ask if they want to see my scar they always say yes .. that is unless your my cousin Ruthie . Its really nothing to look at now I must take a updated photo of my knee and share ..
My left side of my knee area is still numb and so is my other knee that was done 18 months ago but on the right side of that one .. and this is normal my doc says sometimes it goes away in time( years ) But sometimes it stays and we have to deal with it .. which is fine with me I rather have numb feeling than that yucky pain . My knee is still swollen I keep telling them are you sure cause I have chubby legs anyway ( Thanks to my dads side of the family wink wink ) and they reassure me it is still swollen and to be patient with my extenison . My leg is way straighter than it was before surgery BUT comparing it to my right knee its not quite as straight .. BE PATIENT DAWN I keep telling myself its only been 4 weeks . I am still doing my asprin therphy and thats doing good, and taking showers are back to normal now . Its werid how you are affraid of getting it wet with water and soap But that has passed now since last week Praise God .. I have recieved so many emails for many of you facing this upcoming surgery also Mine was due to having RA .. But Honestly I feel as though I have my life Back. I may have mentioned this before But I am soo excited to walk through the airport when we pick up my hubby in August and see his face when he sees me walking with out a limp and to be able to walk the airport alone will be awesome .. I knew I could have Never done that before . I would have waited for him at the pick up drive through area .. since it would have hurt so Bad to walk that long of a distance .. Now there is nothing holding me back GLORY!! Grocrey Shopping is even a treat now. anyway I am just rambling , But I did want to give all of you a update That everything is going GREAT!! PRAISE GOD!!!
See you tomorrow
Until later... Happy Stampin!!
That's a wonderful post! So good to hear your knees are without pain - isn't it great how God gives Drs the wisdom to know how to do all these complicated surgeries that can bring healing?! Have a blessed day!

Dawn,
I too had surgery 4 years ago. The numbness in my knee took 3 years to go away. That is the weirdest feeling isn't it? Hang in there. Mine was just a torn cartilege but it was so numb. You are doing great. Can't wait to see your new SU creations.

Silly girl, silly, silly, you're not rambling, you're blogging, eh?
All kidding aside, do we expect to see a tutorial on how you made this fabulous Father's day card?
Or, are you going to save it for a club meeting &/or class? In any event, it's awesome with the new designer papers.
On a side note, school related, Alex had his 6th Grade Awards Assembly this morning and he got (are you ready?) drumrollllllllllllllllll:
Citizenship Honor Roll
Academic Honor Roll
Perfect Attendance
Now mind you, he got all 3 awards for the ENTIRE YEAR!
We had a row of 10 seats reserved for all the family that came! It was so awesome seeing him on stage getting that kind of recognition, kwim?
Say do you know if they have foot/ankle surgery remedy like your knee? The nerve in my foot is just killing me and for overcompensating, now my left foot has the same problem inside with the bigger nerve that goes to your feet. OUUUUUUUUUUch!

That card is too cute! I'm sure your husband will love it whenever it gets to him.
Glad to hear your knee is feeling better too.
