QNS--I PM'd Patrice to get a new thread approved for January...if I start it now, then since we are staying on the same thread for each week, it can be "maintained" easy enough.
Meanmom--The dr is planning to do a bicep tenodesis...which means he will move the bicep tendon and reattach it to my humerus. I have an MRI scheduled to see if there is a tear in the bicep tendon or if there is anything going on with the rotator cuff. The dr says at least a 2 month recovery...I am telling my self to expect 3 months before doing any regular sewing though as the 2 months is back to "normal activities".
