It is amazing what our illnesses force us to discovery or relearn. Thanks for sharing. I need that inspiration to stay positive and encouraged. Great way to make lemonade from lemons. :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

I'm glad you found a way to work that out. Im also glad you still like the patriots after what happened yesterday. I'm a pats fan too.

I don't know what made me do it but I rolled it up to the row I was tying, put it over the walker handles. I can roll my wheelchair so my legs are between the walker legs I put my arms on the quilt over the handles and with my duct taped fingers pop the needle and yarn right through!

Wow what a good idea. Had both knees replaced and have been in the same situation. Keep moving and working on something that interests you. I bet you are a happy person. Just turned 60, and find I have to push to get moving. but I am glad I am on this side of the soil. :thumbup:

Well Done David, just goes to show that it pays to think laterally!

Another great example of "Necessity is the mother of invention." Great idea of using what is at hand. :thumbup: :thumbup:
