Not a Sunday Summary: November 2

/ quiltinggail

A bit about me …

Last week, while walking my grand-dog, I fell, HARD. It took several days before I could get into see the doctor. After an examination and x-rays, it was determined that I have 2 cracked / broken ribs on my right side. Consequently, I was informed that I was to rest and not do anything for the next 4-6 weeks.

Well, how boring is that?

However, I have discovered that I am able to sew without pain for short periods of time. The hardest part is standing up after sitting. Pressing with my mini Oliso (M3Pro) is still within my ability for small pieces, for a very short period of time.

Yup, I know, I’m not following my doctor’s orders very well. But, don’t they say that nurses make the worst patients?

All of this to say, I’m going to step back from blogging and sewing like a mad woman! My November project for the Island Batik Timeless Treasures Blog Hop will go live on the 11th. You can see the Blog Hop schedule HERE. I hope to continue posting my fellow ambassador’s projects on Facebook and Instagram.

I will be slowly working on my December Island Batik project … and most of my other projects will be put on hold.

Hopefully, I will be back in the saddle and quilting to my heart’s content in 4-6 weeks.

Thank you for understanding!

  4. Hope you heal quickly. I fell in July and broke my elbow. It was depressing to be out of service for 6 weeks, but I did find things I could do

  9. I am sooo sorry to hear this Gail. Please take care of yourself. The older you get, the longer it takes for your body to heal. I am 77 now and I just can’t do what I use to no matter how much I want to. I try to sew some every day because I enjoy it and it is very relaxing. So I hope you get to do what makes you happy even if it is only a little at a time. Take care! Joyce

  13. That’s the worst part of getting older….the body does not take the punishment that same way that it used to when we were younger!! When I broke my ribs 16 years ago I was painting the livingroom….did it on the basement stairs……and it took forever for the room to get painted!! Take it easy….there isn’t anything that can’t wait!
