Thank you all for your kind words. As I said I am on the mend, physically at least! My doctor tells me that time heals all and as he is excellent- and very cute!- I accept that. My local priest has been fantastic and helped me through the worst of coming back here when I first had to leave my family. However, everyone who comes to see me from home has to bring me material and all my friends from school and college have trips planned over the next few months so Im going to have a great time. I may never go back to work again, but Ill have lots to keep me happy! I am an American living here in the UK as my husband is a Brit, (but also cute!!) I have travelled the U.S. and many parts of the world and never had a problem before so I was just unlucky. Its great to be alive and I now appreciate it more than I ever did. I cant wait to go back to the quilt stores in Denver that I missed this trip! The message board is great to read too- I may even learn how to upload photos of my quilts one day!
