i have it checked again in a week

So sorry about your hand, just please don't use it until it is really healed. In September '07 I broke my hand in 3 places and tore the ligaments and tendons, but kept trying to do things instead of nursing it, now 5 months later it still hasn't healed properly and is still very painful. Seems we women never learn so perhaps i can help you with this advice, please don't use it, even for typing or using your mouse, rest, rest and more rest, it will heal more completely and much quicker. cheers and commiserations with empathy, Meganne

my hand is bandaged so there's not alot i can do, although at times i know i have done more than i should and have to rest it, thanx

Well, Bless your heart! Hope you get along well, but at least you can get on the site and learn, laugh, and enjoy the comments. Best of luck to you with healing!.

It must be very frustrating and disappointing. Just think of all the fun you will have here. Store up the information. A good time to study up and read directions and maybe do some small things to get yourself organized. Hope it is better soon.

A good time to read that instruction book. I had to down load and print a lot for the software. I went through 3 ink cartridges. best wishes to you.

mandy, so sorry to hear about your hand. How did you get it tore? I hope it heals fast! rest it, and serf the net, and let us know if you found some good sites. flowers and hugs coming your way.
a Prayer for you, Lord please help my friend today and help her hand to heal fast, and keep her and all my new friends safe from all the flus that are going around.
Thank you Lord for your love, Amen.

amen.

Oh, Mandy, so so sorry! You must feel like a kid that got a new bike for Christmas & there's 2 feet of snow outside! I hope your hand doesn't hurt too much, & that we can keep you entertained for a while till it heals. Best thoughts for healing winging your way, and flowers for all. Marji

I hope youre hand recovers quickly, here's a fl.to you, but look at the bright side, now you have time to look at all this messages and projects of everybody, and perhaps get some ideas for later.
get well soon.

that must be very devastating but here's a flower for you to make you feel just slightly better and lots of wishes that your hand will heal soon

Was it your right hand or your left? Which do you use the most? I am sorry to hear of your pain, I was just wondering how limited you are, so maybe I can make some suggestion to help. A hug and flowers for all.

i,m righthanded and it is my right hand that is bandaged up. i am doing alot of downloading and reading though. thanx for your concern

Such a shame, but maybe you can use this time to make plans for future projects.download new designs , and visit with us. I know you will enjoy your new machine. Here's a flower to help you to accept your delay. ( wish I could give you a bunch instead.)

Oh, bless your heart. I can't imagine how frustrated you must be. If I may make a suggestion, this would be a good time to "plan" out your projects. I have a folder on my desktop that is "Ideas for embroidery". Which houses basically those things I want to do when I get a chance. I also have a "my projects" file in my actual embroidery files, when I put those designs that I have added monograms to, or put several designs together that I want to stitch out. It helps me remember what it was that I started. Those 2 things are what I do when I'm not able to sew. Keep checking in here and let us know your progress. ;)

How organized you are! I may be just a little jealous. I have just started trying to keep everything in folders, and will get there someday! Good ideas.

by imandy2 27 Feb 2008

hi, I have already started putting all my downloads into a folder. I do hope it makes everything easier to find. I will have to back everything up though, I don't want to lose it now it is downloaded

Oh, Mandy, I've got tears in my eyes - for you to have a new *toy* and not be able to play is catastrophic to say the least, haha! I do so hope that your hand heals quicker than quick, and that you'll soon be playing to your heart's content on that new machine. In the meantime we'll try to keep you amused here. Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy it here as much as we do. Healing hugs and flowers to you.

Forgot the flower Here it is with lots of hugs

sorry to hear this. We will try to keep you busy reading LOL

I feel so bad for you. And all you wanted to do was go home and set up your machine and play.At least you can use other hand and surf the internet looking for new freebies and ideas and of course chatt with ever body here. Hope you heal real soon so you can play.In mean time I'll send you a flower to brighten your day.

imandy2, one day your hand will heal and you will be able to use it again - until then - keep busy with other things - enjoy yourself, learning and ready what others say and think. A flower for you. What sort of machine did you get?
