If anyone is out there, I just wanted to let you know why I haven't been on here in a while. To put it simply, my back is broken. No major problems except for pain. It's a compression fracture and probably happened when I fell backwards and broke my wrist. I have an appointment with a surgeon next month to see what can be done. I have to wear a plastic back brace that looks like armour. Needless to say, I haven't been able to sew for a very long time. With my broken wrist, I haven't been able to do any knitting or crocheting either, as I am right handed and broke my right wrist.
I also learned I have osteoporosis and am on Forteo to try and increase my bone density. It's a shot everyday for the next two years. I also found out that my arthritis is much worse and spread through more parts of my body than I thought. I'm just going to ignore it as best I can for as long as I can. LOL. Gotta laugh otherwise I get overwhelmed and don't do anything.
My wrist is starting to heal well, so hopefully I'll be able to start knitting or crocheting soon. I've been spending lots of time watching tv, surfing the internet and reading books. Gotta keep my mind busy, so usually I'm doing two things at once. LOL
Thanks for reading, hopefully I'll be able to get to crafting again soon.
