Remember the game where there was a little guy who was hidden in a jumbled mess? My game is a tad easier than Waldo's. This is just my way of explaining where I have been recently. Just to clarify I visit your blogs, I read them, but I have not always been able to comment as much as I’d like.
First there was my son’s visit for two weeks of busy, busy, and busy. There were two birthdays and parties in February. Then the carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand (yes I am right handed) started acting up. Next up: Tennis elbow. I had a shot of cortisone in my elbow, which eased the pain but made my arm feel like a beanbag that was over full. After three days (which is what the doc said) it feels better but in two weeks I go for the nerve test and then most likely carpal tunnel surgery…eeek.
Hopefully (and I my doctor tells me it is so) the surgery this time is much easier than when I had my left hand done and doesn’t take as long to heal. So hopefully by next month all of this will be behind me and you will be able to find Crystal.

Also I would like to say "Happy 1st Anniversary to Kristin and Eva the wonderful hosts of Paint Party Friday You need to do yourself a favor and check out all the wonderful art and artists today!
Well you have been a busy lady! Good Luck with the surgery and I hope your recovery is super fast and easy!
ReplyDeleteYou busy girl!!! Make sure to breathe ;o) I wish you all the best with the surgery and, I hope you recovery quickly ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! I hope you are feeling top notch again soon. Lovely sketch, BTW. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely hand sketch! Sounds like a busy time indeed.
ReplyDeleteMy chiropractor swears he can cure most carpal tunnel syndrome without surgery. And if your elbow is also acting up it sounds even more likely. Have you tried that?
Hope you sre feeling better soon!
what a busy month you had, hope the hand feels right as rain after the surgery.It must be so hard for you because you do such beautiful work and must miss it so much.Your craft tips are great.Take care of your self,
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful hand painting! Hands are hard to do! Hope your hand surgery goes well, that's all an artist needs is carpal tunnel syndrome.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal, good to see you. I'm really sorry about the pain in your hand. Those cortisone shots hurt. I've had them in my knees for arthritis. They shove the needle in the bone, and boy does that hurt. Glad to see you are a little better and you have been busy. The drawing of your hand is just awesome. That's a great job! Happy Paint Friday and Happy Women's Day!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your surgery Crystal! I avoid any mention of carpal tunnel to the doctor. I am so over being cut on!
ReplyDeleteWishing you well during your surgery and healing!
ReplyDeleteYou have really been very busy! Hope you can soon get your hand done! Love the hand drawing, too! Take care, Valerie
ReplyDeleteyou've been wonderfully busy! and you're much cuter than Waldo! ha.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, your art and crafts are wonderful. You just take it easy until you know if and when you will have surgery. I've had both of my hands operated on for carpal tunnel, si I know what you are going thru...
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Jan
That hand sketch is incredible! Really, really good!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to hear that you are in pain! Here's hoping that the surgery will alleviate the nerve impingement....and you'll be drawing dizzily soon after!!
Beautifully drawn hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing of a hand writing, very good. Saludos
ReplyDeleteLove your Where's Waldo picture and your sketch. Wishing you well with your surgery and that it will be much better than the last time!

Hi Crystal,
ReplyDeleteThis a superb hand illustration, gorgeous work.
So sorry to hear about your pain and needing surgery, never fun thing to do. Like Gloria I had knee surgery and cortisone shots to the knees once and that was insanely painfull. All the best with the surgery and speedy recovery so you can indulge in your craft.
