Two weeks.........

OK so the surgery was two weeks ago today and 6 little cards is all the "creativeness" that I have to show for it. These little cards took forever since I had to do them in 40 minute segments. I'm happy to say though that I now can use a paper cutter while in a horizontal position!!! Yes sir...i feel that I am making progress. I'm still not allowed to bend over which causes a major disaster when something falls to the floor. You don't realize how many things fall to the floor until you can't bend to pick em' up. Where is that "grabber" when you need it? All I can say is I have been sooooooooooooo creative when it comes to solving this little road block!!!
I am happy to report that I can pick up Skittles, raisins, M&M's and even brads with my toes! Yep...they make for great grabbers. It is amazing what you will do if you want something bad enough. Just today I wanted an apple and of course it was in the bottom crisper in the fridge. Nurse Rachett was off duty sooooo I had to be real creative! I found the longest knife in the kitchen drawer (top kitchen drawer) opened the crisper with it and stabbed me the biggest..reddest...juciest gala apple of the bunch! So..all in all I guess I have been pretty creative this week...it's just I don't have anything to show for it except these 6 little cards!

And I thought toes were just for balance and displaying pretty polish! They obviously "serve" a far greater purpose!
