Stamp Day w/ Friends Card # 5

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Going to be a busy day as my hubby is off and we are gonna run some errands.

Yesterday he had a return appointment with the orthopedic doctor. This time he saw a surgeon and not a Physician's Assistant. Since Shawn is still having issues with that knee the guy went over the MRI very detailed and saw nothing other than the MCL strain. And he said that it can take several weeks to months for those to heal. He pressed around his knee then said....do you have any back issues. And Shawn replied that at one of his trips to Urgent Care (since July 2023) he had a back x-ray which revealed he had a pinched nerve. So he pulled that up on the screen and checked it out and showed us. BINGO, right there is why his knee is still giving him grief as it's all related to his back. He said to us, you don't need to be seeing me, you need a back/pain specialist!! All these months and that Physician's Assistant kept telling us it was just his knee. 
Now we wait to get another MRI on his back and go from there. He said most likely he will need to get an injection of steroids. I have been down that road several times for my back so hopefully it will help him!

So, let's get back to some cards, shall we?!

I have card # 5 to share from Saturday's Stamp Day. This one uses a retired set called Autumn Leaf Prints from 2005.

This card is beautifully designed with those wonderful papers and fabulous sentiment. That leaf paper is simply amazing! Hopefully Shawn's knee problems will soon be finally taken care of and he can live pain-free once again. Take care and have a beautiful Thursday. Hugs :)

That DSP was one of my favorites ever. Beautiful card. Glad to hear Shawn may be getting to the root of the problem.
