when the doctor says.....

[bubba]

no sewing for six weeks, that does not mean five weeks! My two minutes of checking to see she was mistaken were two minutes I could do without. I'm thinking it may be eight weeks! If I get to retreat and have only 12 things sewn, this is why.......

Why? When you fell, did it do damage to something in your arms.?

Yes, I sprained my shoulder and bruised all my ribs and boob. The last two are mostly healed....the first, I think not so much.

We would rather see you recovered and able to enjoy the retreat instead of still being in pain from trying to get the favors done. Besides, there is still a lot of time before the retreat.

How's mm on the sewing machine? Maybe you can recruit him.

He is good on the sewing machine, and used to make outfits for the kids when they were little. In high school, he made himself a jean jacket and pants to wear to a dance we went to!!

I've already asked him, he won't make these for me

Aw wish I were closer to help you. I hope it doesn't take too long to completely heal.

Oh Pat, What torture, besides the physical pain from that fall No Sewing for several more weeks is a harsh sentence. Hang in there girlfriend! Hug4.jpg

Re: when the doctor says.....

I can feel your pain from here. I know it is frustrating but you need to follow doctor's orders. I know, easy for me to say...

Don't prolong your recovery any longer than necessary. Please take care.

How did they determine your shoulder was sprained. Was it x rays? Or a last resort diagnosis? I ask because my upper arm is so sore and the shoulder has pain sometimes. The pain moves. I seem to have full movement but the pain is there during the movement. For me, a doctor is out of the question.

so frustrating...but best to be healed and enjoy the retreat than worry about getting things done. (((HUGS)))

Re: when the doctor says.....

What do you need to get done? Perhaps I could pitch in and help. I don't sew as well as you, but I will put forth effort to help you get whatever it is done.
