Ouch, hope it heals w/no lasting negitive impact !!!
Try to think of it as learning a new skill, if any thing said at work, talk to doc, loa more time to sew, chances are no comment, good employee better than none, even if a little slow!! life happens :)
I'd expect teasing from your quilt buddies, may be more than happy to assist. You know as long as your tung is in the right place, may be able to thread, I'd take cookies !!
Good Luck !!! :)
