Monday Montage #197



I am STILL on the sitting train ... which would make you think that I had TONS of time for crafting, right? I have entered week THREE of crutches. Stitches come out Tuesday and I am HOPING and PRAYING that I will be downgraded to one crutch (NO crutches would ne GREAT!)! It has been difficult for me to sit with my foot unpropped, and sitting in a chair with my foot propped on another chair gets uncomfortable very quickly. Don't get me wrong ... I am THRILLED to be on THIS SIDE of surgery and on my way to healed. Patience is HARD, isn't it?? I did make myself sit and make a card for this week's Monday Montage hop ... things are improving!
