I agree with everyone. Time to catch up on the QB and read tutorials, etc. YOu can learn lots here. Somethings you normally wouldn't read. It will be hard but you can do it. Hope the time goes quickly for you.

Tomorrow, I see if I get one on the other hand. No sewing for 6 weeks! What will I do?

I had that in my left thumb & went to the dr right away. I know the pain you're feeling. Maybe purchase Quilt Design Wizard & start designing, or even just coloring LOL!
I did find some relief w/my chiropractor who used cold laser therapy. But do follow doctor's orders. Don't want to be away from sewing permamently!

Oh wow. I've had that also. It is rough. I had a baby in diapers at the time. Hang in there it is a long road. I had to have cortisone shots which helped temporarily. That was 21 years ago and I still have problems with it. Follow those dr's orders!
