What a bummer. The broken wrist on top of not being able to sew. I hope you heal quickly and your pain is minimal. Take care of yourself and let others pamper you.

I hope you feel better soon. I got to rip apart my border 3 times. I am making a braided border out of blue jeans. Argghhhh!

I'm sorry you broke your wrist, but I'm almost sorrier that your plans went kaput. When you were talking about your weekend the other day, I envisioned being able to do that. I hope you heal quickly and maybe have that weekend you had planned.

Been there, done that. It is very inconvenient.

Hope you heal quickly. You may need physical therapy to get your full range of motion back again. That was a surprise for me.

You will amaze yourself at how you find yourself adapting when you want/need to do things.

OMG I feel your pain. Take care of yourself and know you are blessed to have such a wonderful husband by your side. Bet he even typed the post!

About 10 years ago I was multitasking with a 3 pound Chihuahua in one arm and a full laundry basket of wet clothes in the other. That small step off the porch (known as a cinder block) was not enough footing for me and BAM down on the right knee. Chihuahua went flying, clothes all over the place. Ringing in my ears from the pain. I was speechless (for maybe the second time in my life!) and ended up tearing my maniscus (sp?) and the knee hasn't been the same since. Dog was fine - although I could have crushed her. Couldn't handle crutches because of the carpal tunnel and trigger finger in both hands. I made it thru but with pain meds by my side. I now have RA in the right knee.

Sigh.....wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the time goes fast till you're back at the machine.

I think you had better stay in bed all weekend. Take care and listen to the doc's orders.

Ouch!!! I know you are in a lot of pain, but it could always have been worse. I hope you recover quickly and will be able to get back to doing what you love. Till then, you will be in our thoughts. :-( :XD:

So sorry this happened to you! Talk about a rotten day....
You do seem to have a great attitude and that will help you get through the process of healing which seems to take forever, but really doesn't...be kind to yourself and listen to the docs. {{{HUGS}}}

What a terrible day!! :cry: Sometimes don't you wish we had a rewind button for our lives like we have on our DVD players so we could start over? :roll: I certainly hope you are feeling better soon!

Blessing to you. All things happen for a reason even though we might always see it or understand it. Maybe this is to spend undivided time with your Honey. Take care.
