Update on Eye Prob ,Butterflies and Button Birthday card

This is fairly long post update on my eye problem so if not interested please scroll down to my creations for today!

Good Morning and have to say bit cooler this morning which is nice .Dont get me wrong i love the hot weather just doesnt help my ME.Well yesterday went back to see the Consultant ,as you know was going last wednesday after having tests but their words of the receptionist she Cocked up!Couldnt believe my ears when she came out with that line!Well yesterday i got seen and what realy was good wasnt the same reg it was actually the Consultant that in it self makes you wonder...

Anyways the Medical student had to get history and present my case .It was great as i was aware more as he was explaining things to her i understood helps when your a nurse but have to say cant stand anything to do with eyes never did more than a day when training that was enough last me a life time...lol .Which is more than the lady reg did she just had no bedside manner and just said when i first went 2 weeks ago that it was not an infection.

Now i must say i wish it was!Yes doesnt look like good news but im staying positive ,havent told the girls as want to be sure of the results.They both worriers anyway .Well they are unsure wether i will get my sight back just waiting game but it hasnt improved.I now have to go for Brain scan(MRI)Because it is to do with my Optic Nerve the Problem which (has caused pain loss sight rt eye)is part of the Brain.Two things he said thta can cause this,the first thing he thinks i have MS(another couple letters to go along with ME..lol)but needs the Brain Scan to Rule out a Tumour .So what turned out to be a simple wee pain around my eye and feeling of pressure i thought could have been infection has turned out to be more than i bargained for.So they will ring me today to confirm when my brain scan is and then i have to go back and see Hay(the consultant first name terms ...lol)7 days from scan so all moving pretty darn quick!So i will just have to stay positive and carry on as "Norm"My worst fear and which would upset me is not being able to craft would you beleive!?Please pop back tomorrow as i have some sweet stuff for you to celebrate my girls birthdays so be sure to check back!!!

Anyways enough of that youve not come here to hear my woes but see my creations .I cant beleive it myself 2nd card in a matter of days using purple.I never have used purple dont ask why just dont know not colour im that fond of.So certainly shock to the system never know may get to like it.

This card feels so summery especially with this lovely weather we are having in the UK at the moment.

Up Date on eye and Gift Card For a Child

Good Morning all where do the weeks go !I seem to have spent the last week back and forth to hospital.I went yesterday and oh what a cock up,i was to have further test which i did .But also surpose to get results and was hoping for a diagnosis.But after alot of confussion and staff passing my notes from pillar to post ,a receptionist came up and apologised she had made" a massive cock up" her words exactly and she was sorry.Didnt realise i had been reffered and should have seen the Consultant today.That the consultant isnt here they want you to see.So you guessed it another trip on Monday to see consultant .So now nearly 2 weeks on pian in rt eye,no vision except a blurr,chronic headaches still no diagnosis.Oh well Mondays another week!

Apart from that mass lorry drops stone from his lorry on wya back and have lovely chip right in the view of drivers view.Typical when Mot due so today after taking ouir sophie to have 2 teeth out due to overcrowding...not looking forward to this she petrified dentists so Diazepam before we leave.The worst is i actually told her they could take her into hosp,but NO having 2 teeth out that have grown through her Pallette of all places.Rather her than me i do feel sorry for her as first time having injection or teeth out but her mouth is over crowded.So exciting morning ahead of me!

Anyways i do hope you like my creation if you saw yesterdays post WOYWW this was the card i was working on now complete so hope you like it!ive used my new Penny Black Stamp.

Anyways now onto the creation i have made this based on a sketch from

Inspirational card Sketches challenge this week.This has been left blank at request of person who has requested the card as she wants to add a badge she has onto the card in rt hand corner .thats why there's no sentiment present.I hope you like my card based on the following challenges.

Outta My Comfort Zone Creations

Friendshipm Card

Good Morning well after an event ful day yesterday im still here.I had been having a naggin pain in my rt eye for about over a week ,but thought nothing of it.Then Sunday had burst blood vessel.Then Tuesday night the pain got unbearable and my eye started to weepvery blood shot.So hubby advised to go drs.So i rang yesterday morning and to my shock horror got opd for 9.10am that day.From there went from bad to worse,was then sent to the hospital straight away to Eye Treatment specialist.

What alarmed me the most i didnt realise until after having eye test at drs,that my vision in rt eye had been effected so much i could litteraly only read the first 5 letters...Omg !!i was shocked .After several examinations coming away with eyes like a vampire and in pain.Still really no further forward,they are unsure whats causing pressure behind my eye .I have drops yes and i hate anything to do with eyes so pleased i dont have to wear contacts just wouldnt be able to do it!I still hate anything to do with eyes even if some one came into A&E id still try to avoid...lol.So i have to apply 2 lots drops both drops 4 times aday which is nightmare!!!.Have to go back this am and again monday and wednesday for tests but defo not infection,but very painful and from finding out loss vision too.So wont be bloggin much over next few days .

Anyways life out the way now down to my creations 2 cards today .The First card well out my comfort zone with this colour combo wouldnt have thought to use.But thanks to Incy Wincy's inspirational piccy .I rather like the combination and even made 2...lol
