My concern is my sewing and quilting! It is my right hand! I will not be doing anything for 6 weeks or more. Does anyone quilt with the "wrong" hand? I have been reading about stab stitching has anyone ever done this?
Hubby is being a love and doing all the cooking and cleaning! He even offered to "help" me quilt....not so sure about that.
Any ideas, so I don't go crazy will be of help.
Thanks to all!
I have had both basal joints replaced with great success! No more pain and my dexterity (after two years) is quite normal. Quilting was a problem one handed but the cast comes off fairly quickly and in a brace your other fingers are quite useable. Best of luck!
