Sorry to hear that Fran. I know it will be hard to refrain from quilting but do as the doctor says so you have a speedy recovery. I had a trip and fall a couple of years ago and had to have 2 knee surgeries. (I ruptured the meniscus in my knee and had to have it removed) I found out I just don't bounce as well as I use to when I was younger LOL. The second surgery probably because I tried to do too much too soon such as work and quilting. So of course this caused a longer recovery period.
Work on hand work, read or do anything that does not involve standing until you get your doctor's okay..
Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope for a speedy recovery..
Nancy
