I was very ill when you posted, 3 1/2 weeks with on again, off again terrible stomach pain and bathroom issues; tests (all negative), trying various drugs (they did not help), etc. So frustrating. One important thing my husband and I learned was to ALWAYS buy trip insurance for things like: non-refundable tours. <br />I thank you for this post, too, as I can also relate to the worry and stress of feeling like you cannot do your art anymore. I love to do all kinds of arts and crafts, and I have clients that look forward to new ornaments in my shop every year to add to their collections. But after not making any for so long since before Christmas), and then being sick, I did not feel the ideas coming, and when I first started again, things were tough to get going. Soon, though, I got a rhythm going, and new ornaments are in the works. Whew! So glad things are getting better for you, too! Hugs!

I hope to catch up soon. I did leave a comment on your June 3rd post the day that you posted it although there was some sort of glitch as it didn't show up. Yes, waiting for the biopsy results was very scary. It was a big relief to learn it was negative. I saw the physio-therapist for the first time last night and think he is going to be able to help me improve things. Good luck with everything on your plate! xoKathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-30617973998719285572016-06-20T17:01:07.372-04:002016-06-20T17:01:07.372-04:00Oh Kathleen, I am really sorry to read that !

Glad to hear things are beginning to look up for you. I can relate to the injury and realizing just how much you don't think about simple movements until they are restricted. Hope you have a great weekend.Lori Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808703279193470654noreply@blogger.com
