Yes I am discouraged also. Because I sat and sewed for to long - 5 to 10 hrs at a time, I got a blood clot which 90 percent of the time starts in your legs. Now I am off the blood thinner and have to set a timer in my sewing room and get up and walk around every hour. I am going to the Gym 3 to 4 times a week but I still have to do this also when I go on a road trip, stop and walk around. The Doctor also told me to wear support stockings when I sew. I am not doing that part. I am real down about all this. I have been sewing for 57 years. Thanks for listening.
