« on: November 11, 2021, 00:03:43 AM »

Another scrap buster project all cut out and ready to go  :rant: but I'm 4 weeks post shoulder surgery with another 2 weeks in a wretched sling. I tried one armed sewing and it did not go well for my machine, my accuracy and my patience. I may have even heard my machine and fabric quietly sobbing as I passed the sewing room later that day they were so traumatised by the event :(
My recovery is not going well due to a gazillion factors and several months down the track I have the other shoulder to  then be addressed.  sigh, I'm just gonna be lurking around on you all for quite some time :(

At least you can post on here one handed ...

I've always typed one handed ... a circumstance brought about by having my left wrist broken when I started on this t'internet malarky (which is the Greatest Biggest Fib I have ever uttered and which I used to throw around with gay abandon! The actuality is more like I usually have a glass in my other hand !!!)

@Iminei if I hadn't become sensitive to alcohol I would be joining you.  :toast: I miss Pina coladas and gin & tonic. Ok...martinis, margaritas, Irish coffee.  The list goes on.

@rubywishes  oh how I feel your pain and anguish, I've just had my second hip replacement operation and I just can't sit and sew. There is a skirt half finished and the lining all pinned ready to sew. The frustration is all consuming. I wish you a good recovery and you can rant away to us here on TSP, we will want to know how you are progressing. Take care  :hug:

Well i hope your shoulder has a speedy recovery, nothing worse than not being able to do something you love.
I’m a fabricholic on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I’m on the road to the fabric store.

@rubywishes

Sorry to hear that. I can imagine it must feel both painful and very frustrating for you. Sending you warm hugs.  :hug:

My sister-in-law fell and broke her left shoulder badly a few years ago and has had to have it re-done this summer as her arm still wasn’t moving as well as it should. She’s in her 70’s and supposedly retired but still volunteers her admin services for a local club (where she broke it in the first place!!) and is still working there about 30 hours a week. I think she’s nuts still working when she’s not fully recovered but it gets her out and meeting people. She explained to me ages ago about how it limits her activities and how she has to rely on my brother to help her get dressed etc.

Ouch! Apart from the pain, annoying when you're prevented from everyday activities.

Oh @rubywishes that's so frustrating.  When one bit of you doesn't work as it should it impacts on everything, including your mental health.  Do keep coming on here, keep us updated with your progress and have a moan if you need to.  Meanwhile you can still stroke your stash with the other hand.   :hug:
