Hi WOYWWers!Not a lot of interest really, as yesterday was spent in Queen Alexandra's Hospital Portsmouth having an Arthroscopy on my knee. (that may be tautology, I'm not sure if arthroscopy refers solely to the knee... I must ask my doctor son!) 
Prior to this I had been busy making sample cards for Cuddly Buddly (where I have the illustriously lofty title of 'Fabulously Crafty Friend'). Kim, the owner and artist has been converting some of her rubber stamp images into digis and wanted samples for display on the website. She's also looking for new FC digi Fs to work on some of these images, so if you're interested head over there. You can access the appropriate section here.
For those of you with a sturdy disposition, here is a pic of my knees, 1 reg, 1 large. Note the trendy compression stockings! I've yet to see the inside of the dressing which has to stay on until tomorrow. I am a bit of a star with crutches, but I think I could probably manage without now. Lets' hope whatever was done will have alleviated the symptoms that I been experiencing over the last few months.
Ah, glad it's all over Chrissie - your leg looks bruised above the bandage - is that just iodine? Please say it is! DO as you're told though won't you - heal properly and like you, hope it all pays off.
ReplyDeletesending you healing vibes! hope you can sit comfortably crafting with your knee, perfect excuse to get creative and maybe even some crafty shopping! get well soon hugs mandyxx
ReplyDeleteOh poor you! I know from Wipso's experience how painful knees can be. Hope it improves really quickly.
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie I'm glad everything went OK yesterday and it has sorted out your problem. As Mandy said what a good excuse to sit and craft!!.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing selection of pens you have. I think I will have to start saving up my pennies for when I get home.
Take care
Anne
Ouch...That photo brought back memories. Hope it all heals well and your problem has now been sorted.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question ....yes I have just set up Skype to chat to Paula so it would be really lovely to link up for a proper chat when you're able. Not sure how to find you though as I am pretty new to it all.

oooh hope that you get all better soon. and hope that it all pays off.x
ReplyDeleteHope you knee gets better soon. Lots of crafting being done on your desk.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, Copics! Hope that knww is feeling better soon. ** Kate **
ReplyDeleteHope your legs gets better soon and you are feeling more like your old self. You should get someone to bring all your crafting stuff to you on your knee with a nice brew and enjoy your crafting all day LOL. Have a great day, Tracy Evans x x
ReplyDeleteouch Chrissie - you poor thing... I had some of those sexy stocking too when I had my op - didn't stay up - they gave me thigh high ones (and at one time I had PAPER pants LOL)...
ReplyDeleteAnyway - you rest up and take it easy. No crafting until you are up to it - ok?
Your cards will make up for lack of quanitity by their quality (if that makes sense)
Paula x x x
oooh Chrissie I do hope your knee heals for you soon. I do love seeing those copics :O) Joey.x
ReplyDeleteGlad all went well but please note my disposition is very delicate and I do not want to see inside the dressing!
ReplyDeleteSending you a big healing hug too X
Oooh, wishing you a very speedy recovery Chrissie!
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will have sorted it and you will be problem free from here on in.
It was definitely one of the better ops Ive had success wise.
Isnt it amazing what they can do through just a few tiny incisions!

Hope the news is good when it gets there! Make sure everyone takes care of you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a speedy recovery and the operation will give you some relief! The knee is swollen at the moment!

ReplyDeleteooooh re your knee, hope its all as you want it to be under that dressing x
Yep Chrissie I will put stickers on the side of my TH inks....ha, ha yes at the moment I do have to go through the whole pile everytime I look for a specific color! I wish the stickers would come with the inks but I guess Mr. TH didn't think of that did he??? Ha, ha
ReplyDeleteCardarian
Wow, what a pair of legs! Hope the right one is not too painful and that you are running soon. ikki x
ReplyDeleteI hope the procedure you had on your knee helps. I'm sure you will feel better soon. Sounds like you are doing well if you can walk without crutches this soon after your operation.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in awe of all those markers. And it looks like you have a lot of punch action going on, too. Get well fast.
Have a fun and snoopy WOYWW.
