I know it’s been ages since I posted but I do have a very good reason. I have been very ill! On 21st March, I woke up with pain and I took some painkillers and went back to bed, I spent the whole day like that, up and down, until about 9.00pm, and I asked Pete to take me to the hospital as I couldn’t stand it any longer.
I remember waiting in A & E but then after that is just a blur!
Apparently my gall bladder burst and when they operated they nipped my bowel, so all the poison went into my stomach. They had to keep taking me to theatre to cut the poisoned parts of my stomach away. I was cut from my left side, all the way around to my right back and left open and kept unconscious. In the end, they told Pete if the last op didn’t work there was nothing more they could do as I would literally fall in half. In all, I had 14 major operations.
When I finally woke up 6 weeks later, I was stunned to realise that my muscles hadcompletely wasted away, and I couldn’t even stand, let alone walk. I still had a great gaping hole in either side as well. and a hole in my neck where I had a tracheotomy. I moved to a ward and then spent 3 weeks learning to stand and walk with a frame. Afterv 4 weeks, they allowed me to come home, but it’s going to be a long slow process for me.
The good thing is I have been able to pick up my designing again. I have added a couple of new things to my store, and I have picked out over 30 products that I will be retiring at the end of July! You can get these products at a massive 50 and 60% off from my NDISB store.
I have some other good news too, I have been accepted as a designer at E-scape & Scrap! This was in the process before I took ill and Julie has been very patient and gracious waitimg for me to be well enough to get started. Of course I will be taking things easy for some time yet but it still feels good to be doing something useful again. Here are the new products added this week:
and I have not one, but 2 freebies for you today. The easter freebie below is also still available!
