December 26 - 2 months since my last post!

Before I write more here I would like to say thank you to all for your kind comments on my last post following my fall, also I offer my apologies for not responding to any of them. I was told there was a problem with blogger and comment reply.  To my regular commenters I do have your addresses, and could have found others on their profile details, I didn't follow through for reasons mentioned here in this post.

This is where I have spent quite a lot of time over the past two months

on my bench underneath the Japanese Maple or wandering around the garden seeing all the colours of Summer in the blooms and visiting my old garden seat which I used for 25 years, lichen covered now, and wood falling apart with a rose climbing through.

The damage to my shoulder in the fall is severe, torn tendons, fluid filled shoulder, bursitis and synovitis, I have constant pain and severely limited movement in my left arm now. Presently the only option is constant pain meds and I can take on two simple PT exercises to try and help any movement. All this plus existing issues which I deal with resulted my reaching a very low point mentally. As you can see I can now slowly, and in packages of a couple of minutes at one time, use the computer with my right hand and occasionally my left hand providing that my arm is resting on a solid base here and there,  this is definitely  helping me feel that there is "light at the end of the tunnel". even though it has taken the best part of  two hours to write this post.

The colour in the garden has been helping

Visiting my little sewing haven caused me no end of misery at times.  However, I feel the spark coming back and I'm going to beat this little by little, I shall try a few minutes with my fabrics in the next few days. An appointment with my surgeon for an update soon but told to be prepared for what may be needed and what the outcome may be re use.

So, this is my situation - can you believe I have NOT read any of your blogs, I found my mind just couldn't cope but starting tomorrow I will slowly begin again, I have so desperately missed seeing all the exciting projects from you all.

If anyone could tell me what the situation is now re leaving replies to comments and bring me up to speed I would be so very grateful.

Excuse, if you will, any garbled or mixed up wording! I have made a note in my diary that I SHALL post something on the first day of the New Year hopefully with a  photo of a little stitching.

My very best wishes to you all and I hope you enjoyed a happy and safe Christmas.
