I finally had my neck surgery on Thursday and got home from the hospital late yesterday. Thank you so much to all who PM'd me with well wishes. It was greatly appreciated. I am pretty sore right now and exhausted but honestly not feeling as bad as I thought I would. I am just bummed that I haven't been able to sew much before surgery from pain and it is going to be awhile before I can get back to my brand new machine that I have been itching to use. So, I am I am going to just have to live vicariously through all of you, looking at all of your beautiful projects. That will hopefully keep me from going "off the deep end" while I recover until I can quilt again. Hopefully, I'll be up and about quilting my heart out again soon!!

Hope you have a speedy recovery!!

Take care of yourself and give yourself time to mend. Before you know it you will be using that new machine of yours. :D

get well soon!

So sorry to hear of your surgery, I have been away awhile, please rest yourself as required and you will be back at your new machine before you know it. A speedy recovery to you.

Glad your sugery went well. Here's to a speedy recovery...

Hi There!!

Actually, I have had some immediate relief! The horrible pain shooting into my shoulder and down my right arm and my numb hands are completely gone!! But, I do still have surgical pain, although not as much as I thought I would. I guess when you are as bad as I was, it simply couldn't have gotten much worse. So pretty much anything would be an improvement. But yep . .. one surgery down and one more to go! Next surgery on the lower back will be probably 3rd week of July.

Hope all goes well. I had my C3 &C4 fused together in 04. Have titatium plate in there. Look like Frankenstein inverted on xrays. Best thing I ever did as the nerve pain was awful. Wish I could get my C 1 & C2 to behave. It won't take long to heal just becareful. The drain tube was the worst part for me.

I had this surgery a while back. I felt better fairly quickly, but it took about two years before I could do some things. Be patient with your healing. Ice...lots of ice.

Get well wishes sent your way.......Hope you have a speedy recovery too.

I'm glad the surgery is done and you're in the recovery mode. Before you know it, you'll be sewing again! Meanwhile, you can be PLANNING your first project.

Oh, believe me . . . Do I have projects planned!! About 30 of them that have piled up because I couldn't sew for more than about 30 minutes per day if that. My machine will be burning up as soon as I can handle sitting there. But, I WILL be careful and take it slow!! Thanks for the good wishes!!
