Cath1776,
I'm sorry to hear that you broke your wrist. I can relate to everything you said in your second posting. In 2007 I fell off my bike and broke my right shoulder in 2 places,
also broke the collarbone and tore the rotator cuff.
I needed surgery to put me back together. I couldn't cut any fabric or sew for 4 months. DH and DD to bathe me and dress me, the first 6 weeks my arm was strapped to my body except for daily(omg painful)exercises. My wonderful quilting buddies cut me about a hundred 4.5" squares so that I could sew after 4 months(no rotary cutting yet). It took me a full year to come back from this.
I tore the left rotator cuff in 2 places last November and had to go through it all over again, it was faster healing as no bones were broken. I was outta commission for 7 months.
hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery!
Sharon
P.S. I just broke my right ankle 9 weeks ago, now I can't drive! At least I can bathe myself now. :thumbup:
