Fancypants

What set out to be a normal Sunday turned out to be a very big challenge, I have had ongoing back problems for over a year now and Friday afternoon was the start of more than usual back pain, constant pain releavers and back rubs, I was hoping that I would awake fit and well Sunday morning but that wasn't to be.

Not only did I awake to worse pain but also my back kept going into spasms I went through the pain barrier in tears and scrambled my way round making a cup of tea. Normally Chris makes me a cuppa every morning whilst I pull myself together but he was on a training course with the Brigade.

By 11:30am I was back in bed, my Daughter got in about 3pm and madeher first Sunday roast all by herself (she did marvelous) Chris got in around 4.30pm and gave me another back rub with some Voltarol which helped.

So it is a miracle that I have a card to show you at all, luckely this is one I coloured on Saturday. I stood to make the card then Chris did the photography for me as he did with the previous 2 cards (thank you Chris x).


Todays image is Fancypants by A Day for Daisies, coloured with Copic Makers and Prisma Pencils, the big scallop border was made with the Tonic Studios Border System (fabulous bit of kit)

Hi Jak, fab card. I hope your back feels a little better today. When my back went into spasm I bought a Tens machine from our local chemist after seeing a chiropractor who told me one side of my pelvis was higher than the other. Possibly due to carrying the children on it. I've been making Build a blossoms over the weekend they are lovely.
Take care
Debbie

Your card is beautiful and Chris did a lovely job on the photos.

Feel better quick, prayers headed your way.

I know back pain and spasms are horrible, I've just had my 5th spine surgery and hope your back rubs and Voltarol do the trick and really quick.

Blessings, Lori m

Hi Jak,
Fabulous card - and where did you find the black and white spotted paper. I've been looking for something like this for ages.

Hope your back gets better soon. Chronic pain is the worst thing on earth. Reading of your suffering makes me feel a bit of a wimp when I moan about my toes still feeling stiff and painful following my foot op last year.

Take care and look after yourself.
Dawn xx
