She's been so patient with me, and I'm so thankful. I never knew that starting on Humira would make me hurt so much before it got better. I still have trouble gripping with my dominant (left) hand, so cutting is a challenge, but the straight stitches last night where I only had to guide the fabric through the machine made me feel useful again and give me hope that I'll be back at it in no time. None of my sewn gifts were made for Christmas though, and for that I feel horrible. The people that are most important know what I've been dealing with though, and there's no hard feelings. I feel fortunate to have such understanding friends.
