Thank You

Thank you for all your well wishes for a speedy recovery. They are very much appreciated. I think yesterday will be the worst day in the recovery process. If there was a tall building that I could have jumped of I think I may have considered it, once the block wore off and I'd watched the DVD that the surgeon gave me and watched him hammering screws into the bone, I realized what had been done to my body. Can we all  say ouch. But enough of that, today is a much better day, the worst is behind me I'm hoping.

This pretty much sums up my activity at the pc, chicken scratch typing with one finger on my right hand, not an easy feat for an extremely left handed person, but I'm stubborn.
For those who commented on the little wall hanging that's waiting in my sewing room, it's not a Don't Look Now! pattern. It was in the new book I purchased a couple of weeks ago, Mini Quilts By Kathreen Ricketson, of Whip Up. If you do a search on her site under mini quilts you'll find the free pattern there for personal use.

Please keep the inspiration coming on your blogs, it keeps me motivated.

Happy Stitching
Linda

I never want to awake for any surgery, if I have to have one. I like being ignorant about what they're doing. Hopefully the worst is over for you.

I hope the drugs are keeping you feeling better...lol

I searched and searched for that free pattern, but I guess I need some help... when you feel better can you send me a link? please?

Linda I think they need to make nerve blocks that last longer. Oh how could you watch that dvd! I'd be in more pain because of it, and probably losing my lunch too. I'm so glad today is better for you.

Try not to type too much - typing with one finger is so frustrating, isn't it? I'll be praying every day is a great improvement for you!

You are in my prayers for speedy recovery and pain free to come soon. My husband had a surgery on his shoulder and slept in the recliner for a week hurting. Keep us posted and I'm still loving my PIF.
