Getting there slowly

Yesterday I had my stitches out and the Surgeon was quite happy with how it looked and said it all went well. He did find a dint in one of my knee joints, I guess a skating injury. I even have pics of the inside of my knee, very interesting.

I am still limping and my leg gets very tired but the Dr said to listen to my knee and do just what it can handle.

What amazed me with the surgery was how quick they get you moving and out of hospital. I booked in at 10am my anaesthetist (Taff - friend from the theatre) was looking for me as I arrived, he made me feel a lot of better. I went in to the theatre area at 10.50 and was moved in to the operating suite at 11am. Taff and I chatted about my life and by the time it came to put me under I was very relaxed. I woke up at 12.15 was back in my room at 12.30 with a cup of tea and a chicken sandwich. At 1.15 the physio had me doing exercises and walking. I got dressed was put in a chair to wait to be picked up. I was home by 2.15.

So I have been home resting quite a lot and being looked after by my wonderful family. I have read four book and made quite a few caring hearts for my craft forum. Have tried to do a bit of scrapping but sitting in one position for any length of time makes me uncomfortable.

Thank you to all who prayed for me I felt your prayers as I was much calmer this time round.

Tomorrows the day.

Tomorrow at 10am I will be booking myself into Nowra Private hospital for the much awaited Arthroscope on my right knee. The op is booked for approximately 11am. I have to fast for 6 hours so if I would like to get up at 4.30 and have a light breakfast I can.

I'm not worried too much about the operation, the anaesthetic is another story. I'm also not too fond of pain, I really am a big sook. I have 6 books to read during my recovery time and at Haylee's instruction bought myself a few blocks of Lindt chocolate.

I know God has it all firmly under control I just need to rest in his love and allow his peace, that passes all understanding, to fill me from top to toe.

BUT I would really appreciate all the prayers you can spare for me.

Aprils Creations

Well its now May -so I can show you my April challenges and project for the Scrap of Faith blog.

The first 2 pics are my project for last month. It's a memory box to fill with those little life lessons that God loves to teach us on the rocky road of life.


The lesson I shared was the life changing lesson God taught me last year that I need to listen, obey and trust him in regards to my involvement in the theatre. Out of that came great blessings. If I had not obeyed him I would not have had time to be a part of the fabulous DT on SOF.
I am also wondering if I would have had my tins published, possibly not.

This first LO was the verse challenge and last months verse was Psalm 46:10 - Be still and know that I am God. This is one of my favourite verse and through all of the above lesson this was one of the verses that God constantly bought to my mind.










This LO was the very first sketch challenge I have done. I found it quite hard to do as I was told and I followed it to a tee. Apparently you can simply use it as an inspiration and came up with your won interpretation but as it was my first I pretty much copied the design.









This last LO was the WORD challenge, April's word was LIGHT.

This verse from Psalm 119:105 came immediately to mind. I had Haylee take this pics of me reading my bible a few weeks ago so I thought it was just the pic to use. I am sitting in the room I have my quiet time each day. The verse had been double printed in lime green with black on transparency.



My LO's are very simple as I mostly want the verse to do the talking - I am also not that great at LO's as you all know OTP's are my thing!!!!!!!
