Is anyone planning on going to the NW Quilt Expo the following weekend? Maybe some of us can hook up there too? Maybe this is a question for a separate thread? I'll put one out there in a few weeks, when we get a bit closer.
Hope to see you all soon!

It seems the femur was cracked in the first surgery and the radiologist and the doctor missed it on the films so I was doing everything they told me to do including PT. Well, the femur broke in half and the hip they put in the first time had to be removed and a new one put in with a longer shaft and they cabled my femur together. I was in the hospital for a week, just got out on Tuesday and I can't put any weight on my leg at all for 6 to 8 weeks. Right now my whole left leg is swollen the size of my trunk and I have staples from just below my natural waistline to about 4 inches from the knee. It's healing as it's itchy as all get out now!
We postponed my mom's funeral until after the surgery so that will happen on Sept. 11th. It's been a hard, hard few weeks!
God is good and soon I'll be back to normal, I'm sure! Enjoy your gathering, thanks for taking this month for me, Alice. I'll make it up to you sometime. Wish I could walk through your woods then sit on your deck and see what sunset vistas you get from that perch...sunrise certainly is gorgeous.

Feathers, my heart is with you and goes out to you and to the family. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this with your hip but you are going to be running laps soon-I just know it!!
My prayers are with you and the family on the loss of your mother. My deepest and dearest sympathy to all of you.

Oh, Feathers, I am SO sorry. Sometimes don't you just wonder how much God will put on us to bear? I wish you strength to endure, and solace in your grieving. Please know my thoughts are with you.
