All Things New - Treasures n Trash

To ALL my friends, family and amazing followers....
I wanted to give you an update on my current status.
Many of you know, but many of you dont know that I have had a long tough 23 year battle with Endometriosis, a disease of the uterus. This past year became extremely difficult for me as a progressed into stage 4 and by the end of the year life became harder to bear with the complications it was causing. After several hospital ER visits I finally became well enough and had enough strength to go thru what the doctors said was life threatning surgery, in mid February I had a complete abdominal hysterectomy, with separation of my organs that had be webbed together with lesions from the disease and scarred tissues from previous 7 surgeries.
The pain after my surgery literally made me contimplate giving up as 23 years of pain, struggle and anguish over came me.

Needless to say there are many other details, along with several trips back to the hospital after surgery do to complications.

Today, I am still not fully recovered. As I work to try and rebuild mental and physical strength. I am left with several conditions, that cannot be treated right away, that will prevent me from doing business on the scale in which I did before according to the doctors. I believe that after I am stronger, I will be able to open another store but for right now, I will focus on trying to gain strength by finishing just one piece at a time. (NON custom order) as I can.

Lastly, I would like to thank, everyone who has been by my side thru these most trying times of my life. Thank you to everyone who came to visit me at the hospital and my home before during and after surgery.

Thank you to everyone who sent cards, flowers and even meal prepped food to accomadate my 6 children as I was unable to move or function for months,

MOST importanly, Thank you to everyone for the many many prayers, thru your many prayers and by the grace of God, I am here today still, alive and moving on with life finally disease free.

Hi guys! I'm going to try and keep up better with my page than I have been lately. Alot of you know about my medical issues, and I just recently was in the hospital again this week. I'm home now though and on new medication, I've been on it 3 days now, and so far it seems to be helping alot. Regardless, it's just buying me time till I need to have a necessary surgery. As soon as possible, but I'm hoping I can hold of till the new year.

Look forward to some great projects I've finished over the last couple months that I had not yet posted. I hope at least one inspires you! :) May God bless you all! :)
