Evening everyone. I have a get well card to share today. I'm posting it to myself. Almost 25 years ago, just after I met hubbie. I had TMJ surgery. One day I sneezed and the little piece of cartledge in the jaw fell out of place. After many months of not being able to open my mouth far, do anything that involved using the facial muscle, or eat anything other than mush. I had surgery to stitch that little piece of cartledge back into place. Things have been great. Until about a month ago. Home from work for dinner, enjoying a Big Mac with hubbie. Two bites to go, and crack. Oh that really hurt. And here we go again.
Today I had an appoint with a TMJ specialist. Damage can be seen in the xray, but to what extent he is unsure. So to start he gave me medrol, a steriod to help with the pain. And cyclobenzaprine to take at night to relax the muscle. I have to get more movement in order to have a new night guard molded. After that he will evaluate again for surgery. Which will mean a long wait for an MRI appointment so the surgen can see if there is enough cartledge left to repair. Here's hoping.
Enough of that. Lets get to the card.
This is the second attempt at these cards. I had to trash the first ones. After making some mistakes and learning the properties of some of my markers and inks, these two turned out pretty good. I embossed the images with black embossing powder, then colored them in with prisma color pencils. A little inking around the edges and done. Very simple.
happy crafting
dee ;o)
