Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!
As you might have noticed, I updated the look of my blog just a bit. I also wanted to let you all know that I am planning to get more active with my scrapping in the new year, and to participate in some blog trains as well. I realize that my items in the store have not been selling very much... I will be re-evaluating that and possibly either a) move to another store or b) go back to offering all freebies. Whatever I end up deciding, you will all be the first to know. I also want to thank you all for sticking by me and with me as I struggle with the depression an bipolar - especially over the last several months. I appreciate it more than you will EVER know!!
Also, an update about my knee. I went to the specialist in August. They took a bunch of x-rays (wow, did THAT hurt! Trying to stand in certain positions, full weight on that leg... not fun). The specialist said that I have 'early onset arthritis' in that knee, which is being made more difficult by my added weight. He gave me a cortisone shot right in the knee, said that (on average) it lasts about 3 months...I think I went about a week before I started feeling ANY discomfort so I am just learning to live with it, and trying to lose weight (very very slow process ::sighs:: ). I have been taking a glucosomine/chondrotin pill daily as it was recommended that it might help. Still to early to tell but I'm willing to give it a try.
Anyways... I hope to be back soon with some stuff for you all. Until then, take care and have a wonderful, safe new year with wishes for a prosperous 2010!!
