Sorry to hear about your accident and wishing you a speedy recovery. When I had my shoulder surgery last November, this board was my salvation. I got to keep up with everyone else's quilting and gain inspiration for new projects once I was able. Be patient, let it heal and enjoy the next few weeks quiet time.

I pray for your speedy recovery. A damaged righty is no fun. Thrice I've had to become a lefty....a stroke which affected my right arm, a broken right wrist, and a broken right elbow. (I'm such a klutz!) It's no fun, but it doable. You can do it. I'll try to be delicate in saying that the most difficult was the using of toilet tissue.
:lol: All you need to do is concentrate a little more on your left hand when you're using it. Today I find myself still using my left hand for some things, even though my right hand is fully functional again. In the meantime, enjoy reading and surfing the board.

I hope you are back to quilting soon. Sounds like a horrible fall. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. :-)

OOOOOHHHHH!!! Can't even imagine how awful that would be! I have had tendonitis in my right elbow several times and thought THAT was awful! You don't realize how much you rely on a particular joint until you don't have it. Good luck with a speedy recovery and hope you will be better than new very soon.

SO SORRY to hear - :( Hope you have minimum pain & quick recovery. :thumbup:
Just think of all those new "projects" you're gonna have running thru your head. Be careful at the fabric store, you might end up w/too many future WIP. :shock:
