Flying Geese and a fall

More or less one month since my last post, I have been reading your posts now and again and sometimes was able to comment. I just haven't been in a position to write one myself! However I'm posting a photo of the first few large size Flying Geese in the quilt I began working on.


I had to take this photo on an angle due to being slightly incapacitated - actually more than slightly!

Those who have followed me for some time may remember I had a bad fall and shattered my left wrist a couple of years ago, in the process of that healing a tendon in my rotator cuff in the right arm tore. I'd been having balance problems and more for quite some time, (still ongoing) and I had been diagnosed with a neurological problem before the fall.

Problems have become worse, and on the 24th October, 2 days before my birthday, I had another bad fall in the garden, this as you can imagine really shakes a 78 year old quite badly. A & E, xrays - no actual breaks in my left shoulder , thank goodness. However now possibly tear in two tendons in the left rotator cuff, ultrasound Tuesday and I think then a neurology review appointment would possibly be the next step.

I am typing this slowly, my left arm is pretty useless at the moment and extremely painful meaning 4 or 5 hours sleep each night only even with pain meds.
Forgive my not leaving comments on your posts and also for many times not having the energy to sit and read them. You can imagine my sadness at my inability to continue on at the moment with my quilting. Hopefully I can gradually do a little at one time even if it's just one flying geese block!  I will be in touch, hopefully, within the next two weeks - earlier if possible.

I have a photo of the first lily in flower out of a bouquet given by one of my sons on my birthday.

Take care and enjoy every moment of your quilting, I'll be back soon.
