MACM - postponed
Hi kids!
Unfortunately, there will not be a MACM this week. I got back home from the cruise late late Saturday night (more like early early Sunday morning). I spent the day in bed, sleeping and icing my leg.
I'm actually going to my doctor today because I think the injury is a bit more serious than first imagined. :(
I keep looking down at my leg and thinking, "My gosh, it looks like I've been in a car accident or something." And then I realize that essentially, I have. I have bruises everywhere, including my right hand which you would have seen had I had the energy to make the MACM video.
This sucks.
No pictures of the leg. Sorry. I did take one, but was all grossed out just looking at it. And it's my leg I was looking at! No one, I mean NO ONE, needs to see it. Seriously.
I will have a Color Inspiration Challenge for ya'll tomorrow, though. :) Watch for that.

Hi Kristina
So sorry to hear about your leg. It's a good idea to go to the doctor, you never know. My friend Dawn Rapsas met you on the cruise and said you were adorable. Dawn is a great person and I would have never been involved with Stampin Up if she hadn't motivated me to be a demo. But I LOVE it now and have her to thank for it.
Don't worry about "MACM". I enjoy it, but we will all live...I will look forward to the color challenge, I misread the time last week and got mine in too late, But I'll try harder this time.
Take Care

Hey Girly...so sorry to hear that your leg is so bad. Poor thing! Hang in there. Hope you're feeling better soon.
:( sorry to hear you're still having a rough go of it.
take care of yourself girl!
Kristina, I'm sorry to hear that you are still in such pain with your leg. Best to visit the doctor in case it is much more serious than the eye can see... I'll keep you in my prayers. Debi
Feel better soon. I went on a Spring Break cruise to the Bahamas with my 19 year old daughter and 3 of her friends and they all wanted to rent scooters for the day. I talked them out of it, and now I am so glad I did! (I'm much older then you and I'm sure I would have "kissed the curb" just like you.) Seriously - take care.
Hugs from Michigan,
Sharon
Sorry about your leg, glad you are going to the dr to check on it.
Just wanted to send you some 'get better wishes' and so say that you are forgiven for not doing a MACM! Your health is much more important and I think the doctors is a top idea. No harm getting anthoer opinion, even it it just puts your mind at rest.
Take real care,
Claire Salter, UK
No biggie about the MACM!
You need to rest up and heal. :)
So sorry you're in so much pain. I'll keep my fingers crossed it's nothing major. Stay off that leg and get lots of rest! We'll see you when we see you!
Hope you feel better soon!
Kristina - I'm so sorry to hear about your leg. I hope everything goes well at the doctor's. Take care of yourself.
Hope you are feeling better soon. What a lousy way to spend a fabulous vacation. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Oh, my! Feel better soon!
Will miss the MACM but would rather know you are taking care of yourself first and foremost.
*HUGGLE* Get well Soon!!!
=o)
Angie
And I hope the doctor doesn't find anything serious...Get feeling better soon!
Hi Kristina,
A get well soon wish from The Netherlands. I hope it's not too serious. Take care of yourself.
Katrina, we can't expect you to do MACM under the circumstances. Get better.
A few years back I went on a Mediterranean cruise of a lifetime to Turkey and Greece with my family. On the beautiful island of Santorini, I tripped and scrapped my leg really bad..and my hands. The ship didn't have large enough Bandaids. This simple accident almost ruined my entire trip. I feel like I left part of my knee on Santorini. Your accident is totally more serious than that, so I sympathize with you.
So sorry about your injury; hope it heals quickly!
Kristina,
I am so sorry that you were hurt so badly. I hope all goes well at the doctor. I just joined this weekend and have watched each one of the past videos several times and have even tried to make a few. I look forward to the next one. :) Hope you feel better!!
Sorry that your leg is still hurting you! I hope it didn't stop you from enjoying your vacation. I'll look forward to the color challenge tomorrow. Those are always fun.
I learn so much and watch each of your videos for lessons, fun, and the enjoyment of the music. But far more important is to get yourself well. Moving forward, always remember and never forget, colliding with the concrete may never turn out in your favor. . . . Strong wishes for the speediest of recoveries!
Dear Kristina,
Hope you feel better soon.Your health is more important. I am glad your are going to the Dr. about it.
Hey kiddo, Hope the Dr. can help you out & your not waiting to long. Praying for your quick healing. Blessings, Amy.
Don't worry for the video, just take care and get well soon!
Greetings,
Ilse V.
Sorry to hear about your leg. Thankfully your motorbike accident wasn't more serious. Hope that all goes well at the doctor.
All of us need a reason to put our feet up once in a while. So, enjoy throwing your feet up on your desk (for the elevation and reduction of swelling, of course) but use caution so that your chair doesn't tip over backwards. (THAT would NOT be good.)
Feel better soon. - Sarah
I am so sorry to hear about your leg, I hope you heal quickly. ;)
I'm glad you're going to the dr. I hope it's not a serious injury. By the way, ice cream helps bruises heal faster ;)
Take it easy!
Take care of yourself! Hugs, girl!! Hope it feels better soon!
Kristina
What a bummer! So sorry about your leg. Good idea to get to the doctor. We'll be thinking of you. God bless!
Thoughts and prayers with you Kristina! I agree, sounds like it could be serious. (maybe you'll need some time off and you can just stamp your heart out???)
So sorry you are going through this and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Kristina -
Don't give another thought to MACM! You can just think of all the bonus videos you have supplied us with in order to compensate for a time just like this. Don't know if this is on your site or not, but would you consider supplying an address for get well cards? If not, please know that I am sending my get well wishes now.
Toni
OK - since you will have a doctor's note, then I guess we'll let it slide this time. I love your site and all the MACM's and tutorials! I even love all your song choices - each time I watch MACM I go right to Itunes and get the song. My hubby thinks I'm crazy, but that's nothing new (HA HA!). Hope your feeling better soon! - Mandy
PS - Maybe next song choice should be "Bad Day"?
Im sorry to hear about your accident. You really should get to a Dr right away. Keep your leg up till you do.
Color challenge tomorrow....hope it's not of the bruises on your hand!
Take care of yourself.

Don't you know that you are supposed to buy things to bring home as souvenirs? bumps, bruises and broken legs do not count.
Hope the Doctor has good news and something to make you feel better. Not to worry about MACM I think it was awesome that you got one done while you were on the cruise with that slow connection.
Peace~
Rose
Feel better! I hope your Doctor says it's just a real nasty bruising!
Hi Kristina,
Glad you are getting your injury checked out. You poor thing...Hoping and praying for your speedy recovery.
You poor thing! I hope your x-ray went well. Cute tech, huh? Yes, that could make it all worth it!
Hi Kristina,
Sorry to hear you are feeling good. I hope everything goes fine at the doctor's office.
Keeping you in my prayers.
God bless
Giovana
Oh no! I have only recently found your blog and MACM and this was my first Monday and you have had an accident...poor you!
Well, hope you recover soon and best wishes from snowy UK and I will be so looking forward to next Monday............
Take care your newest fan!
Dawn x ;-)
Sorry to hear you're hurting. Get well soon.
My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.
From Mary in Maine
Worry about yourself & not us, you need rest girl...!!!
As for MACM .... withdrwl symptoms will take a week or two to set in, then I'll need help...!!!
I took a spill on the Easter weekend and fell, badly twisting my back... I had two bruised knees to match yours, also took a chunk outta a knuckle on my left hand & tisted my right ankle...!!! So I know a little of what your going through...!!!
Huggs & Blessings Fliss
I'm so sorry to hear that your leg is that bad. Your leg will be in my prayers tonigh! Get better. Remember to keep the leg elevated as much as possible. And plenty of rest.
Gosh, it must be depressing to go on vacation and hurt something right off the bat! I hope your injury looks worse than it actually is. Feel better soon.

Sorry to hear about your leg! Take care of you and don't worry--we cyberspace groupies will manage :-)
Get well wishes from New York! I hope you feel better soon.
Kristina ~ Are you kidding? MACM is great but your health is much more important. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I hope you are feeling better soon! It really stinks to get hurt on vacation. I broke my collarbone on my 18th birthday, that sucked, too! LOL!
Get better and I hope the doctor has good news for you!
I'd offer to do MACM for you but I'd just stress myself out!! Wishing you a speedy and painless recovery.
Hi Kristine,
So sorry to hear you are still not feeling better. I was so glad that I got to meet you on the Bermuda Cruise. Hope you are enjoying your necklace :)
Sending you lots of positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery from New Jersey!!
Dawn Rapsas
Soooo sorry to hear about your injuries, but glad you're going to get checked out. Hope you're better soon!
man o man! get better soon! Sorry to hear about the crimp in your vacation. unbelievable...
I'm glad to hear you are getting to the doctor to check out your injury. Hope it's nothing serious and that you are back to pain-free walking soon.
Looking forward to the MACM post next week (assuming you are better, of course). :-D
I'm so glad you're back! Wish you had a better time though. Hope that leg heals up soon and you're feeling better real quick!
So sorry to hear that you're still suffering with your injury. :( Take care of yourself and feel better!
I really hope you feel better soon! How awful!
Hi Kristina, Don't worry about us, just get the leg taken care of. I'm sorry about your accident and hope that you are soon on the mend.
Aw, so sorry to hear!
Rest Up!
Sending {{HUGS}}
God Bless,

Hi Kristina,
I'm so sorry to hear about your leg! :-/
Get well soon wishes from Germany! I really hope you feel better soon.
Hugs Bine
Oh noooo!!!! I'm so sorry!!! Let us know what they tell you!
And thanks for not putting pictures up! :)
One of the worst things in the world is happily clicking to your favorite stamping blog and seeing a gory picture of someone's appendectomy!! LOL! :)
Gosh, hope it isn't too serious Kristina -- good to get it checked out and on the mend ASAP. Feel better soon!
Kristina, I'm so sorry this happened to you and that you're still suffering. Good that you're seeing your doctor. Hang in there. I'm saying a prayer for you. Pam
Kristina, take care of YOU, and I hope you're better soon!
So sorry about your leg!
Get well soon!
Hope you feel better soon!!
Hugs....
What? No MACM? No, I think I can't absolutely forgive you! ;-D
Speaking of a color challenge: what about a "bruise" color combo? Say... blue, green, brown and yellow? This could be pretty interesting, imho... LOL
Hugs from Italy!
Dani
I'm so sorry to hear that you're injured! I love your blog and MACM is my fav. Get better soon!:)
Mia from California
Well, I was hoping for an update so we would all know whether to send goodies to you at home or at the hospital! *wink* I hope you're ok. What a drag to be hobbled up on the cruise. I hope you managed to have a marvelous time anyway. There's so much to do on the ships. I told my DH that next time we cruise I'm not leaving the ship. Ever. Well, I hope you're ok and well on the way to recovery. Sending well wishes and hugs.
I love blood and gore so I vote that you post pics! LOL. I think I must have been a surgeon in a previous life.
Looking forward to your next MACM ! Feel better! Maybe you need another visit to the xray tech? hehehe. His cuteness could help heal!
simmy :-)
Will the Colour Challenge be all the colours on your leg? :-)
Hope it feels better soon!
Oh no! I hope it isn't anything serious-take care of yourslef and I'll be watching for the color challenge, I'm guessing it will be the colors of your leg ;)
So sorry to hear that your leg is worse than originally thought. I hope the trip wasn't a total bust for you. I came looking for MACM and it will be missed, but you need to rest yourself up and get better!
Hoping all went well at the doctor and that you're feeling better. I hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your cruise!
I hate when bad things happen to nice people :(.
Hope to hear you're feeling better.
Love your work.
Mary Ellen
I hope you feel better!!! Get Well Soon!!!
Yuck! Hope you feel lots better soon. Lots of prayers!!
Feel Better Soon!! You take care!!
You poor thing! Hope you're feeling better soon! Look forward to your next creation.
Oh NO! Take care of yourself and in my best "mama" voice.."Go to the Doctor!."
Shawn K.
Hope you get better soon. My husband had something similar where he got hit in the leg but all the blood pooled at the bottom of his foot and around his ankle. It does get better! Trust me!
Will have to use your colour inspirations soon. Thanks for the idea!
Hi Kristina,
I just came back from my cruise today (april 13th) and I too have black and blue on both sides of my thighs. It was formal night and there i was all dressed up with my favorite silver shoes and i slipped and fell on one side and after two more steps i fell on my other side. This was the beginning of the cruise so the whole time I had these big black bruises the size of a lunch plate. I couldn't sleep on my side(s). It's changing colors now--not just black anymore. And you're right, it's not a pretty picture.
