Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends !

I am happy to report it's day 12 after surgery and everything is  doing great . Getting better every day . So very Thankful.

The photo above was taken yesterday  after a awesome shower which those are getting easier each time too ( Praise God !)

Hubby still needs to help me in and out BUT standing is getting  better and I seem stronger .

This past week  our neighbors and friends  brought over dinners . My Mom  was here  this past week . Seen the visiting nurse twice and we are thinking this  upcoming Wednesday maybe  her last visit  since we both agree  I am doing  really good .

This past Wednesday the bruises  on my hip and butt started  to show up  and even though we couldn't see them the week after surgry  I sure could feel them every time I sat down. 

This surgery I must say  was totally different from  my knees  alot easier  and also I had NO anesthesia  instead I had a Epidural and I think that was so much better. After surgery I was alert  and  actually hungry  PLUS no yucky tube going down my throat.

I keep  trying to walk with a cane  and  as of today it's just not happening yet ! I  have this thought that once I can  start using the cane I will be able to  get down stairs  to my Stampin Studio . I have to keep saying to myself it has only been 12 days .

Sleeping  is getting much better  as well  and walking too . We have had to make the walker higher 2 times  since being home .. How is that even possible ? Did I grow  a couple inches  IDK.

My new hip  seems to have made my right leg a slight bit longer but the doctor says It will get better  in a few weeks …I personally think I have been walking with my bad hip and the limping for so long I just have to get use to my new hip Plus I have to give it time to settle in .

It's amazing there is only a 5 1/2" incision  when I see what he took out and put in ~ Holy moly ~ Just amazing !

BIG hugs to my amazing hubby he has been though  so much with my surgery and then the 1st day home our water heater started leaking water in the basement .

Praise God he  found it before water went into the classroom  and my new studio  WHEW!  but that meant  he  was going to buy a new water heater  and put it in  PLUS this past  Friday  his truck  AC idler pulley and fan control resistor /relay pack  went out and  that needed to be replaced. 

Then yesterday he wrapped our boat for the winter . Okay so lets just Pray nothing else needs to be fixed  for awhile .

Thank you all for your sweet cards you have sent me over the last couple weeks . You all are so SWEET! So many smiles in my mail box ~Thank you from the bottom of my heart . I will try & get those all posted soon  .

This past week I recieved  the Founder Circle swaps I had my friend Sharon  swap for me . Thank you Sharon !

The swaps are amazing as usual and really wouldn't expect anything less from  the top Demonstrators in the company . This year Founder Circle Theme  is Home for the Holidays  and our swaps had to use items from the Holiday catalog HERE .

There are so many  Christmas / Thanksgiving/ Halloween  swaps  I love them all . I will share them with you  soon.

I also  got  a BIG box from Stampin'Up! which  had all the pillow gifts  from Founders Circle . So excited to open that box too  and see all the beautiful things . Thank you Stampin'Up!
