Update

Hello everyone,
Linda's daughter here again. My mom wants to thank you so much for your comments, emails, and well wishes. Means a lot to her.

Her right wrist/arm is broken in 5 places, straight across, a bone that comes into the wrist from the hand and two fractures in the bone that comes in from the arm. Their are also two knucles on the wrist and one is fractured and the other has a chip out of it. Thankfully her wrist will not require an operation (as the doctors had once thought). Her left wrist is badly sprained so it is still difficult for her to type with that hand also. Will update you again soon, I know she misses all of you!
For now she is going to put her feet up and read the new fall/winter Quilt Sampler Magazine. That should keep her busy and inspired for a bit! She should be able get on here in the next week or so with her left hand.
Hope you are enjoying your day!

  7. So sorry to hear of your injury. Doesn't sound good, that is a lot of fractures to heal. Have you thought about getting a second opinion? I only ask because I am a surgical tech/scrub nurse for several orthopedic surgeons. I would hate for you to have serious problems. Please take this with my best intentions for you.

  8. So sorry of hear of your injury. It sounds pretty serious.
    I just wanted to let you know that you might want to think about getting a second opinion. I only say this because I work for several orthopedic surgeons as a surgical tech/surgical scrub nurse and see fractures such as yours in the operating room very often.
    Please take this in the good hearted intention of mine. I would not want you to have complications from what is called, "non-union" fractures.
    The "chip" area is correct, there is nothing that they can do for that, the bone just has to heal by making new bone to fill in that area.

  11. Hello Linda!
    OUCH...oh my you sure do a good job when you do something don't you. You poor thing. I just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and saying hello and I certaly appreciate it especially since I'm sure you did it with your left hand! I was just going through some of your old posts and I saw the one on the Flea Market and it made me realize that our monthly Flea will be starting up this month. They close for July and August here because of the heat. Anyway...ours starts next Sunday so THANK YOU for reminding me! I hope you arm and wrist heal quickly so you can get back to your crafts...looks as though you're a 'crafty' lady and I'm sure being 'down' is difficult for you. Best Wishes and I hope you'll stop by again to say hello when you're up to it. Take care. Maura :)
