Japanese Butterfly Box

Being Creative but not much else.  I went to the doctor today and found out that I will be having my surgery January 27th.  He said there is a 10 percent chance of me re breaking my leg during recovery because after the eight screws come out and until those holes in my bone fill in, it will be very weak.  He also said there is a chance that it might break during surgery while he is removing the plate and screws.  I hope things work out, I don't want to go through another 6 weeks of having a hard cast on it.  If this heals the way he suspects my doctor thinks I will be back to work in 2 weeks, but will have to have an air cast on it for up to 8 weeks and probably use crutches still to walk any distance, but that I would be able to stand well enough to do hair.  I hope he is right. My biggest fear is that they will put me to sleep and I won't wake up.  The best part of the surgery is that my doctor agreed to giving me the hardware that was in my leg and also that I will have a nice new scar to look at that wasn't caused by me. 

This weekend I altered a wood box I found for a couple bucks at my FAVORITE thrift store.
