LPoCF 272 Mirtillamente

 Hello again,

I am back to share another card made for my Design Team with Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Mirtillamente who kindly gave us two stamps to work with, I am using Eat, Drink Happy Birthday Slice which comes with the sentiment as part of the image. We are also currently seeking some more members to join our two teams if you would like to know more information Kelly has a Design Team Member post here.

For those following my recovery, my follow up went well and surgeon is happy with how it has gone, he was not so impressed that neither the local hospital or my usual physiotherapist were available over the summer holidays, but I have kept up with most of the exercises I can do at home and now am back seeing my physio. As an added extra, later this year my 5cm (2inch) screw will have to be removed, which likely means another hospital stay, hopefully not more than a day.

I am grateful that I bought my knee scooter (note: self-propelled, not electric) as having to hire one was going to be far more expensive. Whilst out grocery shopping, I've had a couple of people who were incredulous at seeing someone 'riding' a scooter inside the store, one lady who stopped to tell me she had been on one last year and that they are better than using crutches and another who said her husband had broken his ankle and he wanted one as it would be easier than the crutches he got from the hospital and finally one little boy who promptly asked his Dad why that lady was scootering inside as scooters are meant for outside, his Dad replied that he thinks that the lady might have a sore foot.

Thank you for looking in
Have a wonderful week
Megan
