You did a great job for your friend, I'm sure she appreciates your efforts. Best of luck to you with your upcoming surgery. I can relate to you so very much - having had spinal cord surgery last Feb., recovered almost 90%, for which I am very grateful and now I'm 9 weeks post torn rotator cuff surgical repair to my right shoulder. No happy that quilting has to be sidelined for a while, but at least the sling is gone so I can do more. My prayers are with you for your surgery and the care you give your hubby. Good luck.
