Mike: I'm back. I feel good. Lightning recovery? I don't think so. I just have really good doctors. I had a really good surgeon and they did a great job on making sure my pain was under control. There's also a big difference between going in as a planned thing and going into the hospital on an emergency basis. I did get out a day or two earlier than I expected. How long is it supposed to take to grow a new leg anyway?
Seriously though, it's going to take about 8 weeks before I'm fitted with an artificial leg. It takes that long for healing and for the swelling to go down. Also, thanks for the quilt block.
I've watch the buttonholer make the button holes but I haven't needed a real button hole yet so I haven't actually tried to sew one where it's supposed to go. 2 times around makes a nice neat buttonhole with full stitches.
