As I explained in my last post there is most likely going to be a break in my stitching updates every three weeks as I have broken my left shoulder. Thankfully I am somewhat ambidextrous, but I still have to wear a sling and I am going to opt for the surgery that will probably occur this week. That will result in another 4-6 weeks of wearing a sling followed by physical therapy.
So, here is where Santa was three weeks ago.
I think I may be able to continue to slowly work on my secret stitching, but obviously I won't be able to show my progress.
By the way, for someone who normally touch types, typing this post one-handed is exhausting and annoying.

Oh Cathie, that is awful you have broken your shoulder. It must be so painful. Hoping the surgery goes well and your shoulder heals quickly. Santa is looking more fabulous each time. Take care and take it easy.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! What an awful experience! I hope the op. will go well and that you don´t have to be in such pain!
ReplyDeleteThankfully the pain has subsided, but I haven't really moved my arm in over a week as it is in a sling 24/7. Not syre I would even want to try moving it.
DeleteYour Santa is looking quite jolly, wish your shoulder was the same! Praying that the surgery and recovery go well, and that you are able to start therapy sooner than expected! Take care Cathie.
ReplyDeleteOh Cathy so sorry to hear this news, hope all goes well and you are back with us soon. In the mean time I am sure we will all understand if you do not post for a few weeks. xxx P.S. Good luck with the op.
ReplyDeleteAfter a visit with the doctor today it appears that I won't need surgey after all.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your shoulder, I hope you'll recover soon. You've made some great progress on this and it's looking lovely, be a shame to not be able to finish it !
