Glad to hear you are healing. Now is the time to sort and catalog your quilt books and patterns. LOL That is what I told myself last year when I had ankle fusion surgery. Enjoy the summer the best that you can and remember to do the exercises you were given.

I found that having down time away from my sewing machine was a good time to go thru my old quilt magazines and just enjoy the pictures and reread some of Helen Kelly's articles in QN. I also had some books to read that I had put aside for later. Just enjoy the down time. All too soon, you will be back to normal and enjoying the new knee. I hope you are getting some therapy because it is really helpful. At least I thought so because I now can do everything I used to do before pain stopped me. Jan, (owner of two new knees)
