Pieced, but not quilted
#72
Hi. Just wanted you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I fell in April, 2012 and destroyed both my shoulder rotator cuffs and bicep tendons. Had extensive surgery on both 7 weeks apart and now have 4 screws in each shoulder and a footprint repair on each. They had to remove the bicep tendon and I am scheduled to complete therapy on February 27th. It has been one of the most painful and difficult things I have gone through so my heart goes out to you. I am still not quilting except small projects. Just remember to do what they tell you. The road is long but it is well worth it. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

WOW Sharoney that is the same way I tore my rotator cuff 2 years ago. I was picking tomatoes and tripped over a tomato cage too. I shredded my rotator cuff and tore a couple of ligaments and tendons. I have 6 screws in my shoulder. It is almost completely better. Do your exercises. There are a couple of spots that are still a little bit stiff but if I did my exercises it would be fine. Pretty much the only thing that is a little off is when I try to throw something and stretching to reach the top shelf in a closet. Good luck.

They are 2 very beautiful quilts. It's tough to be side-lined and not be able to quilt, I know, I spent 4 months in rehab after surgery for a spinal cord injury - ruptuted disk in my neck. I'm having trouble with my rotator cuff now, but if the tests show that I've torn it, I won't be too anxious to have surgery - I am the designated drive in my house, hubby can't drive because of severe vertigo and hasn't driven in over 6 years. I love the colors in your HST quilt, and how you pieced the border. Great quilts. Hope you get back in the saddle again, cause once you do it will "feel so good". Get better quickly and happy piecing until they give you the OK to FMQ.
