Surprise!

 Well friends - anyone still out there?!  So sorry I haven't "blogged" in forever but there has been a lot going on.  My husband & I both got COVID in March.  I had no problems with it - just felt like I had a bad cold.  Sonny .... not so much although we don't know if it is a result of COVID or not.  About a week after he got the virus, he was still feeling bad & coughing a lot.  He went to a Minute Clinic & was diagnosed with pneumonia.  The coughing let up a little bit but he was still just feeling "off."  After about a month of still not feeling great, we started visiting various specialists.  He started having shortness of breath and would be huffing & puffing just walking up and down the driveway.  The x-ray showed fluid around the lungs and heart.  He had a CAT scan in July, x-rays, Echo and Stress tests in August ... !!  Now he is scheduled to have a heart stent next week & to see the pulmonary dr in September for a sonogram and removal of the fluid.  He stopped taking his meds for the CML leukemia for the past month and that seems to be helping a lot.  We'll see in the next few months.

As for me - I had my own issues but not so bad.  I had a lithotripsy (shock wave) to try to break up the kidney stones.  I think it worked.  I haven't had any pain with the stones & hope that continues.  I hope to do the other side in December.  I have not had any pain from the stones but I prefer to get them blast them & make them smaller.

I haven't had a lot of extra time to do much stamping but here are a few cards I have made using the July Paper Pumpkin kit.
