So sorry you feel so bad. But at least you can still get up. If I got down, it would take a crane to get me back up and in the meantime, I would pee myself! LOL

I fell a couple weeks ago and couldn't get up and IT HURT !!!!!!

I wouldn't let hubby help, told him just leave me and I will manage......

we both got laughing like hyenas as I scooted across the room on my derriere to get on the rug and near to a chair to boost myself up. These old knees need all the help they can get.

It sure was a sight to behold !!!!!!!!!

Love this method but you need to have use of a table large enough to handle your larger quilts. My boards are large enough for a queen size and I can handle them myself. I did glue flannel around my board so that it would grab on to and hold the fabric as I rolled it. I can sit down to baste which helps believe me. I thread baste using the tailor-tack method (as she shows in her video.) Also starch my front and back 2-3 times before sandwiching. So far, using her method, my quilts have come out without wrinkles or distortions on the front or the back. There is another video out there where the gal spray bastes even her very large quilts by fastening her quilt backing on the wall (covered to prevent the 505 from going onto walls or woodwork, etc.). She really advocates this method and says that she has not had any problems when quilting. Good luck

I just hate not being able to squat down, stay as long as I want, and then stand up and walk off.. I was always so strong I just didn't think this would happen to me.. and tell me.. when did my arms turn to crepe?? one day they were smooth, supple, and strong.. then one day I woke up and they are crepey, blotchy, and not so strong as they used to be...

Thank you God I can still hold and carry my grandchildren.

I feel your pain but am not as young as you are. I see you are in this great state that is getting rain rain rain and now they say it may snow .I am about 50 miles from Buffalo give or take.

Well bless your heart....you're a mess! Keep smiling young lady :-D :D

We've had rain for a few days but, praise God, no snow! :D

to PS 150,
Have you tried Glucosamine Sulfate with Chondroitin for the arthritis pain and tender joints that you are experiencing? I have a squeaky knee and tender fingers at times (and I am not 28 either)and I swear by the Glusosamine Sulfate with Chondroitin. It helps joint comfort and stability. It takes a few weeks before you notice an improvement but it does work!!! Been using it for years and FINALLY my orthopedic doc recommends it. Not sure if I am allowed to recommend this on this board. I am a nurse just thinking about your problem. pm me.

You have my sincere sympathy. I was about your age when my back "went out" for the first time. Oh, the pain! Please take good care of yourself. You are WAY too young to have to worry about arthritis.
