purplemem, don't you DARE get up on that leg! let us do the walking ... you just sit and cheer us on from the sofa, okay?
:idea: here's a thought: maybe we can all send you some old-fashioned pom-pons that you can shake and wave at us as we walk this walk with April! ;-)
To all of you: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES! This swap is important and fun, but it's only fun if you're here to participate! So take care of yourselves that we can have even more fun with our next swap.

Odessa,
Instead of pom poms could you make it FQs? I'll gladly wave them at you! :lol:
Went to hospital today for tests, Good news! they didn't keep me! Doctor will call later with more info. :roll:
You DO have a special perspective...how did you acquire such - ahem- lofty knowledge?
Buddy's Mom-tell April and SIL and Izzy we love them and are supporting them with thoughts and prayers and positive vibes.
I WILL quilt this weekend, I've got the bug back! I will find a way to suspend my leg for 30 minutes at a time.
Hugs to all! MJ
MJ, this made me smile! As for my "- ahem - lofty knowledge", it is a trade secret of Superheromoms everywhere! ;) ;) . Good to know your leg is feeling better after elevation. Yes, waving FQ's instead of pom pons is acceptable. I'll be watching the sidelines carefully to insure you are sitting there with legs elevated!
I don't know if this will help, but several years ago when I had foot surgery, I returned to work 2 days later in a cast and on crutches. As a secretary, you can just imagine how much sitting I do every day (and yes, my derriere is a testament to just how much sitting I actually do! :lol: ), but I needed to keep that foot elevated. What I did was take in a big throw pillow intended for my couch and balanced it on top of a clean trash can and then put my leg on top of that. I could sit that way with the foot elevated and still type and do transcription with the other foot on the floor to operate the foot pedal. I think you could do this while you sew, which should help you to get your sewing done while following doctor's orders.
Hope the docs call you with good news soon. Hang in there!
