I hope you have a speedy recovery - but I do recommend you LISTEN to the DR. - don't try to do more than you should too soon... HUGS and PRAYERS to you! :)
I feel your pain!!! 2 yrs ago I was walking in our garden with hubby... went to step over something, tripped and after a few stumbling steps, I body slammed myself face first onto very hard ground. I broke my humorus (not a darn thing funny about it!!) in two places and severly dislocated my shoulder. After a night in ER being drugged to the max and feeling the worst pain EVER, I ended up having to have a nerve block before they could relocate the shoulder. A week later I had a rod inserted into the bone from the shoulder to 1/2 way down to the elbow. I was laid up for a bad 6 months before I could sew.... and then it was with much pain. Now 2 yrs later, it still sometimes bothers me to reach up to put blocks on the design wall. But I WON'T let it stop me.
