Good to know! My Davis uses a boat shuttle, so I won't be needing it, but maybe someone here will! :)

Miriam, run to a good massage therapist as soon as possible!
If you do not relax the muscles: when the chiropractor puts the “bones” back, the tense muscles will pull it back out. A good massage will increase circulation and faster healing.

Miriam, In old age this is due to weakening of the ligaments and cartilage that support the shoulder. The ligaments are what helps keep the humeral head in the socket. It is difficult for just the shoulder to slip out without some type of force. Here is a very good link to information on dislocated shoulders: http://www.medicinenet.com/dislocate...er/article.htm

Since this dislocation happened so easily for you, you MAY be prone to many more dislocations. My suggestion is to see an Orthopedic doctor.

Miriam, sorry to hear about your pain. Hope you feel better soon. Just let everyone wait on you for awhile.

And an another problem that pops up as we age is osteoporsis. Didn't know I had THAT until I broke my arm in a fall. The doc said a lot of people don't know until they break a bone. Bobbie

Joe :D

Easy for you to say!! LOL You don't have people standing in the door of your sewing room tapping their foot with arms crossed with the "where's my quilt" look!! LOL :-) Anyway, yes, I will try to get to it this weekend. It would be fun to get it going, so I'll try really hard!!

My sewing room doesn't have a door. Where ever I can find a spot to set the machine is where I sew. Any way, tell them you need them to run you an errand to the fabric shop the farthest from you for a real special fabric or notion or something and they when they are gone, go put the motor on the machine and test it. :D

Ask them what size needles it uses. Try $15 -$25 see what happens since they didn't put a price on it. It obviously needs a bit of TLC. In good shape you might give $50
