Good morning, today I would like to share my Conie Fong GDT card with you I have used the image
I have coloured her with both Nuvo and Copic markers, I have used my Tattered Lace dies to cut both the image and stamped sentiment out, I have also used my Crafters Companion Corner die and an embossing folder I then added a double organza bow and some liquid pearls.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
I will be visiting everyone soon but thank you to everyone that has left me such wonderful comments.
I am off to my mums as usual I am cooking the roast dinner today and probably do some gardening.
I was a little upset this week, my brother, who my mum lives with, has been in pain for some time with his legs, he has been waiting for a hip replacement. Unfortunately the pandemic arose and everything was put on hold. He has also some very bad skin issues on the bottom of his legs, his mobility is limited and I try to do as much for him as I can on a daily basis.
He has been asking the doctors for some time for some anti-biotics and if they could do something to help clear the skin issues but it wasn't until he got a leg infection that they gave him some medication otherwise he was just told to put some cream on, which he has been doing religiously, all he wants is to be able to go for walks and be 'normal' and active again.
He visited the nurse at the surgery a couple of weeks ago and was told that his legs were well enough to enable him to have the hip replacement, even though she could not get a vein to get blood with his skin being so hard, obviously he was over the moon and so hopeful, he then received notification that he could have the operation in October after a pre op assessment..........he went for this assessment at the hospital on Thursday and was told that there was no way they could operate with his legs being is such a bad condition. They told him he needed to see the doctor face to face and get a referral to a dermatologist.
Before he got home from the appointment the doctors surgery had rang, they had received an e-mail from the hospital.
My brother was then informed by the surgery that he had to speak on the phone to the doctor before he could make an appointment. Needless to say the operation is not going to happen anytime soon and he has to suffer the pain for longer.
I was so upset for him and so very angry, I feel that COVID is now being used as an excuse not a reason.
Sorry for this outburst but I feel so hopeless and so very, very angry.
Hugs to all see you soon
