The Ribboned Crown

~ VICTORY ~

I am closing my  blog ....indefinitely for now. Glad to have finally made a decision after thinking about it for months. I kept going back and forth with myself but right now, this feels right. Of course, we can still keep in touch with email. I thank you so much for popping in from time to time. It has been a blast. I'll still be creating my art (my passion) and will be at the Tinsel and Treasures Folk Art Show in September. But Freddy Mercury and David Bowie's duet has been playing way too long in my mind. You know - Under Pressure.
So with that infamous finger snap echo..........

'Snap'.

The 'Shape' of Things to Come

The foliage is enjoying the rain as the topiaries wait to get whipped into shape for this spring and summer. (Photo taken last September of our back porch)

Enjoy your week. Real job for me with my new best friends, the cortisone pack and lumbar pillow. I think I can feel a difference with my back. Whoo-hoo! Maybe my new shape to come.

The Third Time's the Charm??

Bumped the second one I did-Thanks for the honest imput-  This one feels right. More me. (I mean, I always wear a crown and and knee boots with spikes).

Someone new is coming to the blog world.

And I'm having a hard time keeping a lid on it.

~ MRI, The Results Show ~

Hmmm.....not what I was hoping for!!

Some of you know I have been dealing with a pretty bad back for the past couple of years. I haven't shared about it much because well, I'm just sick of talking about it! In December it got really bad, and I'm still coping with the residual pain and honestly at times, not too successfully. So, I finally listened to my family and friends and went in for an MRI.

I met with with the doctor (surgeon) who read the scan and he  handed me some disappointing news. He feels I'm not a candidate for the easy out-patient surgery. I would need the serious type. You know, the F word. Fusion. Wait.What??

Okay - I am so NOT doing that!

For now, I am putting in a few calls to other doctors to get second, third, fourth opinions.

I'm starting physical therapy and a cortisone pack (if the cortisone helps, I'll go in for an injection).

And I'm not going to give up trying anything that might help.

Because as I said before - I am so not doing what this little cherub is depicting until I try all the other possibilties first. And even at that, I don't know.

Perseverance!! I do have that!

Hoping perseverance serves me well with finding a way to get me on the mend - just like it did when I won this gorgeous cherubic statue on eBay. Hey- at least I'm still in good humor!! 

PS- This is why I said "Fingers Crossed" on my post a few weeks ago about opening my shop (The Art of Frivolity) here on my blog. I still plan to but not sure when - fingers and toes crossed now!!.
