A Little Update

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope you are all looking forward to a fun

and relaxing weekend.  I'm sorry to report that

I'm a little stressed.  I guess I have good and

bad news.  The MRI's that I had last week showed

 that the swelling in my wrist is not a a tumor or a cyst 

involving the ulnar nerve.  That is the good news.  The bad 

news is that I have a torn ligament in my right wrist.

So, they gave me a steroid shot and put my hand and 

arm in a brace for five weeks.  The Doctor

would have preferred a cast, but I chose the brace.

If it does not heal, then I will probably have to have 

surgery.  The tingling in my fingers may be coming from

degeneration in a cervical disk.  I'll be seeing

a spine specialist in about a month.  Hopefully, all

they will do is steroid injections and physical

therapy.

I'm having a hard time stitching and working on the

computer and am getting a little concerned about

all the work I have to do.  My Cinnamon Stick 

design this year is another stocking and, of course, it

is for Avery.  Well, I had to send it off to be stitched

because I cannot get it finished with this bum hand.

So upsetting on several levels. 

I want you to see a little of the stocking in case some

of you out there are looking for a stocking design

for a special little one.  Here is a little glimpse

and a very reduced rough graph, but maybe you can 

get an idea.  

 There will also be a "Bed Post" sack or "Door Hanging"

sack for a special gift from Santa.  I cannot wait to

fill up both of these for little Avery.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take care.  Talk to you soon!

Many Happy Stitches,

Sandra
