A Brilliantly Funny Milestone card by Karen

 

Good Morning Ladies, 

Well yesterday seemed to be a very long day, I was mentally exhausted from the last few days of organising,  we were up at 7am for breakfast  as Paul wanted to be at Tunnel station in plenty of time,  while we were having breakfast I was in a message conversation with Becca who was already at hospital in preparation for her elbow surgery,  she was told she was first on the list so would be going down at around 8.45am,  she seemed fine but I could see she was nervous,  Adam was brilliant at keeping her company and distracted her mind.  We got on the road,  8 45 came and went, we were waiting at Tunnel Duty Free area to be called to board, only to be told that there was a delay,  an hour or more,  so I could have had an extra hour in bed!!  By now it was 11.30 and still Becca was waiting,  she was starting to get nervous and agitated,  which is understandable,  she was then told she was second on the list, her reply was "well i kind of worked that out'  she didn't end up going down to theatre until after 1pm,  Adam said he was relieved she had been taken as her nerves were getting the better of her.  We got on train at 12.10 ish and left at 12.20.  It was the longest afternoon,  i was constantly checking my phone,  it was supposed to take an hour to an hour 15 minutes,  she wasn't out until 5pm, she looked so poorly bless her, I was trying to hide the shock on my face, she definitely had a green tinge, the anaesthetic didn't agree with her.  She was shivering cold too.  She was getting frustrated as she was really sick but they were insisting that she ate an egg sandwich so they could send her home.  They had also prescribed her morphine but the pharmacy at the hospital was closed so it would take another 4 hours to get a prescription,  so they sent her home with codeine and told her to call her surgery today.   The operation was a success, they think they have got 95% of the movement back in her elbow 💪 which is amazing.   She needs to be patient now and recover,  she has been signed off work for 4 weeks.  

We hit Paris at rush hour but it wasn't too bad, we got to our hotel at about 7pm, so not too bad, but it felt like this day was a week long!!  They never warn you that you will worry as much about your children even when they are adults in the books about becoming parents !! 🤣

I am so honoured to be sharing one of Karen's recent 'Milestone ' Birthday cards.  They are so incredibly clever!  

Karen's Description:  

The latest milestone card 

As you can see it is for another member of the bowls club

The club badge in the background and the image has been used by the club in a poster I have decoupaged the bowlers and used glossy accents on the woods.

Karen you are so skilled when it comes to Serif, using the club badge as the background is genius and makes for such a brilliant personalised card. 

Thank you so much for allowing me to share your card.  XXX 

I hope that you all have a good day,

Love & Hugs to all,
