Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday friends !
Last night we had our stamper club night and we had lots of laughter and stamping what could be better . ( we missed you Janet, Laura, Laurie, Peggy ).
Here are some photos of all the fun last night !
Update on my new Stampin Studio ... Really no update Everything is in it's place ( well sort of).
I am kinda settled in BUT still moving things around ya know "letting it all speak to me " I absolutely LOVE my computer in my crafting space . Both screens are on monitor arms so I can move them up and down and also back and foward and side to side
I have to share a photo of my very 1st space I had over 10 years ago. Pinch me and make sure I am not dreaming . My new studio is just amazing and never in my dreams would have thought it would be like this .
I just want to say I have the most amazing husband . He has put this awesome stamp room together for me .
He has done everything putting the cabinets in / all the electical (those extra plugs that we stampers need / special computer hook ups/ lighting/ flooring and so much more he really is my muscle man~my Everything !
Never knew it was going to be this beautiful ( I mean we knew it was great but now that's it's all done WOWZIE! ) It's so much more than we both thought when we 1st started . I seriously could stay in there all day .
The space where I use to have everything set up (watch that video HERE ) is all empty now. We cleaned the carpets a few days ago and now we are getting ready to paint over there .
The only room that will be purple ( lavender ) is the bathroom. It's going from yellow to lavender . Everythng else will be painted the same blue & green~which you will see those colors in the video above.
Thank you all for your sweet comments on my new space . I promise I will get a video filmed for you but until then I will be sharing photos.
This past Wednesday I went and seen my Surgeon the same doctor that did amazing work on my femur back in February 2013 ... To make a long story a short version I am going to get my right hip (same leg) replaced on Sept 16th .
I am bone on bone ~you can see there is no cartilage around my right hip (photo above). The left side you see dark space ( cartilage) around my hip BUT not on my right.
Plus my hip is clicking (or what Dr Hubbers says it's Ratcheting) . For the last couple months I have been hearing clicking from what I thought was my knee come to find out it's my hip and there is such a small area of bone between my new Femur rod ( see photo below) and my hip, that the clicking noise travels down my bone to my knee and I hear it ( weird huh? )
Dr Hubbers says he has only seen 3-5 other people that this happened too . I am not sure if the clicking is a bad thing but he did mention I should think about walking with a cane which will help the bursitis too until I get my new hip, especially if I am walking a lot . So for all those that see me at Convention this year you may be seeing me with a cane .
I did asked him since it's the same leg as my surgery last year if the fall last year had anything to do with my hip being so bad ? he said it didn't help but it's more my RA.
Surgery should only take 90 minutes and he said within 2-3 month I will be back on the Harley :).
Want to hear something really odd I seriously feel so great on the back of hubby's Harley my hip doesn't hurt one little bit... Hummmm maybe it's from all the vibrations :).
In the middle of checking out my hip Dr. Hubbers says my leg he fixed is going GREAT! Praise God!
Recovery is a lot faster then the knees and let's face it I pretty much have the knees covered LOL! Even with my Femur and that was pretty major I was up and driving after nearly 3 months SO I am very Optimistic with the hip
- The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. – Winston Churchill
I have always told others that ask me about when will they know it's time.. I always say you will know when the pain is to much to handle, day to day activities are harder.
So over the next few months I can be exercising my outer hip area with leg lifts/ side lifts Dr. Hubbers swimming or riding a bike will help build the muscle and will help in my recovery as well .
I appreicate your Prayers.
But hey there is still so much stamping to do until then so let's not focus on all that . I will let you know when I will be going in the Hospital for a few days but until then I'm thinking Positive and I am so very Thankful.
Have a Fabulous Sunday friends !
