Hello Cuties! I went to the orthopedic Wednesday. He wanted to see how much improvement on movement of wrist . While I still have some pain almost daily (kids think it might be from nerve )he was really pleased with it as it has only been 8 weeks. Said I need to keep moving it and didn’t need to come back unless I have a problem 🤷♀️ We have been getting LOTS of rain and most pain I attribute to weather. I am glad he did not send me to OT because with daily routine and sewing I can get my therapy. He was really pleased with my progress and so is one of my fellow sewing members. Her boss broke her wrist and like me couldn’t have surgery bc she has osteoporosis like me, too. Wanda said she can’t close her hand in a fist but I told her about 5 weeks in my dr told me to keep fingers moving, even if just can wiggle at first. Wanda also said Joyce’s wrist is more crooked than mine. My hand looks off set. I told you this before but I am including a picture now that I have accepted it better.
On a lighter note. I am piecing quilts again! Yea! I was working on one at the time of my fall that is now at the quilters. I didn’t have a whole lot left on it. However I have started another one with mostly 6 inch blocks. I have made 94 and have the center sewn together working my way around now. I am hoping to have it finished by Thursday, our next meeting, to give to Lynn our quilter. This will be my 50th QOV since I started 5 years ago, so I wanted to do something extra special. I will post it when it’s ready, until then, you will just have to wonder-lolAlso more news. We are getting a new great- grand baby and it’s a GIRL! We are all excited bc girls are few and far between in our family. Her name will be Wrenlee Jane. Another Jane in honor of my mother! We already have Nora Jane, actually Elanora Jane after both her great grandmothers. Momma would be so pleased.
I hope all of you are doing well and embroidering away! ❤️Toogie

5245So glad to hear you are mending well. And sewing again too! I know the feeling of withdrawal when you can't be sewing. I'm enjoying some peaches from East Texas right now. Hugs to you. Nan

11843Toogie I always love reading your updates on life in your bit of the universe. You cannot keep a good woman down and delighted that you are back to putting quilts together. Great grandchildren sounds fun but something I am not ready for yet. Keep on quilting and keeping busy having fun and enjoying your family

Thank you! This rainy weather is killing me though. I’ll be happier and hopefully pain free when the sun shines again!
