I haven't used this in ages, I used to post my workouts here. But I had a very bad accident about 18 months ago and due to injury my workouts have been limited to rehab. So I've been focused on papercrafts.

So, these are some examples of ephemera I made for junk journals that use old book pages. I call them 'layer cakes' (with thanks to Pam from The Paper Outpost for the idea).

If anyone is interested, I have a tutorial video on how to make them: https://youtu.be/c9xOHJYWZVE

My year in review: a summary

#thisIn January, I had a 12 month checkup after my last operation for endometriosis removal (which was 24 December 2015). The test results were worrying enough that my GP sent me to my specialist immediately.

He basically told me that after 15 operations to remove the endometriosis and associated complications, I have so much scar tissue and internal adhesions that another laparoscopy and endometriosis removal was not really an option. So for me, end of line. Basically I was up to a hysterectomy years earlier than I had planned, but there was no other way forward given that I have been experiencing abnormal and aggressive growth of the endo for the past few years.

So in February I saw the surgeon, and then was booked in. The surgery ended up being more complicated than anticipated (because the previous op was only 13 months earlier, the surgeon didn’t expect it to be so bad). Multiple organs were fused together again, and I ended up having part of my bowel removed as they couldn’t separate it. I also had to have a lot of endo removed from my bladder (which caused pain for months), and they discovered an ovarian tumour which was benign, but had not been there the previous year when I had that surgery.

After 3 major operations, and 5 operations all up, in the past 3 years, I have had to just take the rest of the year off to recover. It was really frustrating as I had been learning choreo, set up by business, and was planning to start teaching zumba. I’m way behind my planned schedule on that now.

But I’m now slowly starting to get back into exercise and will hopefully be able to do that next year. Onwards and upwards. Things can only get better.

Did ma zumba course today

Achievements unlocked today: first zumba session since my surgery on 23 December; first zumba session for the year; zumba master class with one of the international educational instructors. Pretty intense, and I'm aching all over, but in a good way :)

tbh it was a repeat of Basic 1, which I did last year (along with Basic 2). But then I got very sick with endo, and so I didn’t get around to teaching anything. this is my refresher / reboot, before I do the Zumba toning (handweight) course next month. But as I haven’t even done a single class since my recent surgery, I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself :)
