Hello paper crafters! I’m sad to say I’m still out of the office. I’ve been on a hamster wheel and I’m not sure how much longer I can take the pain. I finally saw the pain management doctor but until I have an MRI – they don’t know the best course of treatment. And no one has an opening for an MRI for a couple weeks. There is a chance I have more than one thing going on. I’m not sleeping because of the pain!! The muscle relaxers make me tired but only helps with pain for less than 2 hours and I can only take it every 8 hours. The Gabapentin only makes me sleepy, it does nothing for the pain. The ibuprofen gives some relief but if I do any activity… I pay for it later.
I can not believe this is my life! I have heard of people having chronic pain but I’ve never experienced it myself. I feel terrible for not having more understanding and patience for those that have endured this kind of pain.
I’m baring my soul and asking for your prayers!! We found out last week that not only does my husband have cancer but my father in law too. We are meeting with Dave’s doctor today. I have to get better… so I can help him after his surgery!! I don’t know why the past two years have been so brutal. I wish I had Miss Bella with me, she was such a blessing to have by my side when I felt bad.
I know this info will not be well received by all but this post is for those of you that do care. I’ve been blogging since 2006 and I consider so many of you my friend.
I don’t know when I’ll post my next video. Using my left arm hurts so bad and when I forget and use it, I pay for it later. I think my best bet may be a pre-recorded video so I can film it in parts instead of 30 minutes straight.
I will miss you guys so much! Thank you for your patience and prayers!! ❤️

It’s because of you I discovered Stampin Up. I’ve followed your blog and watched your videos for many years, was a customer and then joined a few years ago.

I will be among those praying for you. Keep us all informed and know you are not alone.

Sorry for all the problems that you’ve been having. We’ll be praying for you.I’m hoping for the best.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My Dear Angie”
Sending Prayers for you and Dave. Life will throw us some curves, but know that because of your faith, you are strong enough to get through this. Trials come to make us strong. Without this test, you would not have a testimony. God is still great. He is still the great physician. With His stripes we are healed. Be still and let him work his work through you.
Easier said then done, but we are here for you, praying you through this trying time.
Angie – I am so sorry to hear this. May God’s healing hands be on you, your husband and your father-in-law. Praying for your entire family.
So sorry to hear all that you and your family are enduring at this time. Wishing all of you the best.
Angie;
It hurts my heart to hear that you’re is so much pain! You’re in my thoughts and prayers, as well as the rest of your family.
Be careful taking ibuprofen as it is filtered through the kidneys, and you don’t want to take chances. Acetaminophen is filtered through the liver, so as my son’s doctor told him, try to alternate them as much as possible.
Thinking of you Angie.
Angie, bless your heart. I said a prayer today for you and your family. Praying for healing for all.
My goodness, Angie! You’ve certainly got a lot of tough stuff to deal with. Prayers said for you and yours. You’re missed, for certain. Take care and do what you need to do. I suspect most of us aren’t going anywhere! 😁
Praying for you, Dave and your father in law . I am so sorry you are being challenged so much. Please take as much time as you need to heal and recover and take care of Dave. We are thinking of you , praying for you and will be here whenever you are able to return .
Sending big hugs your way ❤️
Joanne
Oh my, you have certainly had your share of troubles. Sending you and your family good thoughts and prayers for strength during this trying period.
I’m so sorry to hear the challanges of life that has been dealt you. I will be praying for you, your husband and your father in law. And of course I will be here when your return. Keep us posted. Sending hugs your way.
Angie You and your family are in my thoughts. Hoping things seem to get better for you all.
I’m so sorry to hear that you are still having the pain issues. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for relief of your pain.
Hi Angie,
Don’t know what is causing your pain but I would suggest you think about taking turmeric it takes about a month to notice that it relives pain. It takes the inflammation out of your body the only side effect i know about hearing is it can upset your stomach I have not had that problem always take after a meal I take the gel caps. My prayers are with you and your husband and father-in-law may God put his healing hands on you and your family and relieve some if not all of your pain try to do some mental relaxation to relieve your stress Don’t rush on putting out videos we all understand and want you to enjoy doing the video and not be in pain. Love and hugs to you and your family.
Dear Angie
Continued healing thoughts and prayers for you!
So sorry you’re not feeling well.
Prayers for David and your father in law as well!
Healing hugs,
Jo
Angie,
Thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family. May you all be blessed with healing and best scenarios. Your health and that of your family is most important, everything else can wait. Hopefully you will soon find something to help with your pain. Keep positive.
Hugs, Nanci
Dear Angie,
My heart is saddened by this health news. You do not deserve all this stress & pain. I will be praying for you, your husband & father in law to improve & regain your health. Take good care of yourself! We will be here waiting for you when you feel better!
Angie, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through such a rough time! I hope your pain issue will be resolved and that your husband and father-in-law’s health are restored with treatment. Take good care and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Angie, I’m so sad to read of your enduring health issues – both you and your family. Chronic pain that cannot be explained is awful. And it’s hard, if not impossible for anyone who has not had it to understand. My thoughts and prayers are yours…there is no need to apologize for not being able to do your videos – your health and the health of those that love you come first – always. Until you are in better heath, I pray for your healing. You are not alone.
