I have prayed for a fast recovery for you. A year ago last January I fell off my bike. My bones are very strong. Living on acreage and hauling hay and grain for 40+ years did that. I was trying to race up a hill and fell sideways and down hill on my left side. Crushed the ligaments and muscle in right thigh. It has been a long recovery because of weakness and pain walking. Of course there are pain meds but they only take the edge off and are bad for kidneys. BUT..after all this time I am getting better and stronger and walking. Exercise, even when it hurts, I think is a key factor to building the muscle. As you said, the isolation has been the worst. We took drives to the mountains or beach but not being able to walk canceled out the joy. Just know you will recover fully!! May the Lord bless you.Patty McDonaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185631250823190793.post-8999252339725153372022-06-09T07:20:59.650-07:002022-06-09T07:20:59.650-07:00Sorry the healing is going slow.

I haven't read fiction in a long time, as you say - same story, different wrapping.<br />I just got the last of the plants (tomatoes, peppers, okra) in the garden a couple of days ago. No seeds planted, not sure they will be. It will be quite a while before I get anything. IF I get anything. And it's really hard to convince myself the pain is worth going out to do the weeding I'm so far behind on.<br />My current projects - a large quilt for DS, kitting up a couple of small cross stitch projects, a QOV top I should get started, lots of thinking "I should" while reading blogs :-)<br />I like the fabric combination you used on your tote bag in the last post.<br /><br />JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.com
