Sorry about your leg, I can so sympathize.  4 1/2 months of being non weight bearing and still hobbling around, I could make you a list  a mile long!!!! grin..........    I am reading a book series by Debbie Macomber called "Midnight Sons"  It is light hearted and fun.  That might be a good read while you are down.  I am on volume 3 now.  Take care of yourself, we only have one of us!!!!

Oh my, gardengirl!  At least you have a good sense of humor about it.  And don't forget quilty hand work!  Bindings, applique, english paper piecing, all can be done between Elm Creek chapters.

Take care and obey the Drs. orders! You won't get to be pampered any more than having a Dr. tell you to stay off of your feet!

In the town where I came from, they have started piloting the year round school in 1 elementary school, hoping that the children won't have to be retaught quite so much at the first of the year. Those youngsters started on July 11, and you know that the teachers started at least 2 weeks earlier - minimum. Next year there will be 5 schools starting after having a 6 week break. There will be breaks throughout the year, so that the school days will be the same. I'm only telling you this, as VA could have started piloting and it could have been your school. Something else to be thankful for!!!!

Elm Street books are the bomb! I had another favorite author Stephanie Grace Whitson and her first series started with Sarah's Patchwork. She blended in frontier living in NE with quilts and Indians. She quit writing for awhile (after her husband died after having a bone marrow transplant), but has started writing again. You might like to read some of her books too.

Take care and have a very speedy and complete recovery!!!

Oh yeah, I have had a few of those kind of comments from medical people. I knew when they wanted to take more pictures to use for teaching that something was definitely amiss!  I'm so glad you are now getting that foot cared for and hopefully you can avoid surgery.  Be good to yourself -- there is MUCH to be thankful for.

I hope it's not your foot pedal foot!  I've had the clunky boot, but after a plaster cast it seemed like an improvement,  :0).

Hope you have a speedy recovery. As for that boot - it might come in handy at school opening, a few 'accidental booting' should keep those kids in tow.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!  Sorry you are down for the summer....look on the bright side....you can catch up on hand work and reading!

I hope the therapy will keep you away from surgery. It's hard being laid up with injuries, so it's my prayer you will be good as new before too long.  I broke my foot years ago, and was in a hard cast to my knee. You truly have my sympathy.

Oh, my.  It IS always something, isn't it?  Enjoy the Elm Creek books -- I have  read every one and loved (or at least liked) them all.  So, when does school start?  Here it is August 17.  And, how long are you going to have to wear that thing?  Best wishes for a very speedy recovery, by the way.  And yes, if I was in charge of the school, you would be excused from the weekly fire drills.  Unless, of course, the school is actually on fire!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
