I have been creating since I was a little girl. I am happy to say that having my own website has opened up a whole new world for me. Trying new mediums is a joy and sometimes a real eye opener. I sell what I create on etsy and my website, someplaceinthyme. If you have questions,please email me at cpeterson72@q.com. I welcome new blog friends and am honored if you find my little piece of heaven interesting enough to follow.

SLING FREE AT LAST~WELL, ALMOST

Yes my fellow blogger buddies, this is what I have lived in for the past 6 1/2 weeks, even slept in. The only time I was allowed to remove it, was to shower. It's a body sling, my best friend, and my worst enemy. It wrapped around my neck and my back. Enough of that!!!!
I saw the surgeon this morning and was told, I can now take it off. I only need to wear it when I go out. After another week, I don't have to wear it at all. I AM FREE!!
I can also drive, but only in the area and only with the sling on for the next week. Here I come.
I want to thank all of you for the kind gifts, the cards and all the blogger love. I still have physical therapy for the next 6 weeks, (and it hurts) but I am happy, happy, happy.

Soooo happy for you that the sling is off....for the most part..
and that you are almost a "free woman" again!! Funny how we never think of things like this happening to US and how they totally can change your life for a while......I hope you will go back into things SLOWLY now, I know you are thrilled to have your freedom again!! Take care...warm, spring hugs for you, Francy

I am happy that you got to remove your sling. It will make it easier to do some of the things that you want to do. I got my package while I was gone and I opened it when I got home. I love it. Have a wonderful day. Your Missouri Friend
