It's been a while...

Wow. I came back to my blog today to upload some new stuff, make some changes and update information. My last post was February 6- the day before my life got turned upside down.
I was on my way to work on February 7, and was stopped on the highway, waiting to turn. I was hit full-force from behind, spun into oncoming traffic and t-boned. I remember all the details- including opening my door and trying to get out.
I was very lucky- I had a tibial plateau fracture (knee), and a radius/ulna fracture (wrist). I needed to have surgery on both my knee and wrist, and was in hospital for nearly three months (about a week shy).

I am home now, still on the road to recovery. It's still a long road ahead. I'm still slow, and not able to do everything I want to, which is hard. Even some routine crafting activities are a challenge (like using a punch some days!) But, I am looking at everything I do as physical therapy, and I try to do a bit more every day.

I am doing physio three times per week, and I my therapist has been amazingly helpful. My family has been incredibly helpful as well. I'm truly grateful for all the people who are helping me get stronger and back to full strength.
I've even been trying to get into the craft room daily, and am usually under the direct supervision of the two cats- part of their therapy assistance has been weight lifting- to get them off my desk so I can create!

I'm happy to be back at crafting and creating, and can't wait to show you even more in the days and weeks to come! Check out my Facebook page for even more crafty goodness!
