Thank you so much for the helpful advise and kind words. I'm going to pull out my english paper piecing and have that ready along with nook, magazines and books. The tv is full of old movies since I don't watch tv except sewing/quilting/crafts shows which always makes my creative juices flow! I will follow dr and p. therapist orders! I'm 53 and very healthy /active person. I do feel sorry for dogs and cats because they will have to find somewhere else to sleep for a while! Thanks again for the help and God Bless You All!
