MJ, this made me smile! As for my "- ahem - lofty knowledge", it is a trade secret of Superheromoms everywhere! ;) ;) . Good to know your leg is feeling better after elevation. Yes, waving FQ's instead of pom pons is acceptable. I'll be watching the sidelines carefully to insure you are sitting there with legs elevated!

I don't know if this will help, but several years ago when I had foot surgery, I returned to work 2 days later in a cast and on crutches. As a secretary, you can just imagine how much sitting I do every day (and yes, my derriere is a testament to just how much sitting I actually do! :lol: ), but I needed to keep that foot elevated. What I did was take in a big throw pillow intended for my couch and balanced it on top of a clean trash can and then put my leg on top of that. I could sit that way with the foot elevated and still type and do transcription with the other foot on the floor to operate the foot pedal. I think you could do this while you sew, which should help you to get your sewing done while following doctor's orders.

Hope the docs call you with good news soon. Hang in there!

Odessa,
The garbage can pillow is a great suggestion. As for the foot pedal - I don't have one! I have one of those super cool machines that has a on/off button. Just push it and it goes! My brother bought it for me when I was confined to the wheelchair at the first of the year. No legs needed at all!

I just haven't figured out the mechanics of an elevated leg, and, really haven 't felt like doing much. Each day is getting better!

:shock: :shock: :shock: I'm looking for those pom-pons :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol:

They're on the way! In fact, I think (if memory serves correctly ... which is a little bit doubtful as I have a serious case of what I call "collander brain": holes in the brain that allow bits and pieces of information leak out when I am not looking :oops: ) I finished your Boom Block last night, so I'll tuck in some fabric poms for you in the envie, too!

And I'm jealous of your machine with the fancy on/off switch ... I can't even conceive of such an animal. You're very lucky.

Keep those legs elevated!

And now to Miss April -- good to know you're resting and taking care of yourself. I'll bet Princess Izabella is a great Nurse's Aide! Will continue to pray for more healing and that the Doctors can come up with the best solution for you with the least pain and side effects. Take care of yourself, my friend.

Okay, MJ, your block is on its way. Get your dirty nose prints off the window (no wonder the view out your window is "getting old" -- you can't see anything!). And you too, Salmonsweet. Hopefully it arrives 'cross the pond quickly. Hope you both like them.
