Hi everyone.
Well, I thought life was already fairly manic but as the saying goes I have a feeling 'I 'ain't seen nothing yet' !
I was desperately trying to get this post on before the end of last month in between practising for a gig last Sunday afternoon, making lots of Christmas craft items for a fair I'm doing next weekend, making Christmas presents for people and planning Christmas now I've invited family and friends to share the day with me -oh, and making sure I'm doing my daily exercises for my knee. Phew! - I feel like a sit down and a coffee just writing it all down.
As you can see I didn't succeed.
But it is so nice to be back to my old self again ( not sure everyone would agree with that..... :-). Since my knee op I am sleeping so much better, the pain in my other knee is so much improved because I'm walking properly for the first time for a few years and I just feel my general health is so much better.
Which is just as well, because plans are moving on now for 'more time 4 life' ministries.
I've added a page to this blog just giving an idea of what the organisation is about and progress on getting the website up and running (see tab at the top for more info and track progress with the website)
It's more than a month since my last post and as I've said I've made great progress with my recovery.
I've added a bit of video footage below - as you can see I'm a huge Strictly fan and can't wait to get back on the dance floor. My surgeon says I can even wear heels!! (but I have promised my daughter to be sensible - well, most of the time......)
I haven't needed sticks for a few weeks and can now walk up and down the stairs to my flat with no problems. Also I'm back driving (whoohoooo!!), which is wonderful. I was very fortunate to have so many friends and family who (literally) went out of their way to pick me up and drop me home so I was able to go to church most Sunday's and other meetings etc. I also had lots of visitors and invitations out to lunch, dinner, coffee - the whole experience was made so much easier by some wonderful people. So for anyone reading this a huge, big thank you from me both for all the practical help ad your prayers. xx
As I said this Sunday (09 December 2012) I'm at a craft fair with my daughter - you can find out more at http://www.facebook.com/#!/BromhamShow
Here are some photos of some of my efforts so far!
There'll also be decorated wooden hearts, handmade leather bound notebooks, Christmas aprons and lovely little chocolate filled stockings to hang on the tree.
There'll be 32 other stalls all selling lots of handmade goodies for Christmas so come along and get stocked up if you're in the Bedford area on Sunday.
I need to crack on with my sewing and crochet so am posting this now.
Hope you're not experiencing too much snow - not yet anyway otherwise it's going to be along winter!
God bless
