No wonder you're thinking of "others" as your 2014 word! It's great that you have family to help, especially children nearby. That has to be a blessing. Continue to improve, but at a faster pace, okay?! I'm still saying prayers for you.

I was hoping that the medical treatments you've had would really help. It is no fun to be down and in pain. I really do understand what you are going through. I am praying that you will soon find relief. It has been 11 days since my surgery. I am getting better each day. I think you and I had much different plans for starting 2014 but surely it will get much better from here on. I think it is lovely that you are doing hand work in spite of your pain. You are such a good example to me and all those who know you. I wish I lived closer and could help you. Get better soon my sweet friend.

I am glad that you are able to at least work on some of your projects. A good sewing series of books I like is the Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series by Elizabeth Lyn Casey. There is some romance in them and the ladies in the sewing circle are fun characters. I can't help you with the candy crush level as I have not gotten to it yet. I am on level 44 right now.

Also, for future reference, as Leesa mentioned above, and as the docs remind me... it is easier to prevent pain than to stop it once it has started. But I hope the 'future reference' is never needed. :-)<br />You are doing some great handwork. Love that tea kettle. I'm determined that my next oven/cookstove must have a 'hang-able' handle for pretty dishtowels. My current stove has a solid handle. Who would do that? Must have been designed by a man. lol <br />Get well soon!Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-10260177357493111812014-01-20T09:59:20.586-06:002014-01-20T09:59:20.586-06:00Bummer!

I am so in hopes you get to feeling better. My daughter Mary Ellen has sciatica so badly from lifting her son James who is now a 50lb 6 yr. old who can not walk. I wish I could help her but the dr. says she will eventually need surgery sooner rather than later. She has bone spurs on her discs all up and down her spine and she's only 35 yrs. old. Cerebral Palsy is such a devastating diagnosis for the entire family but especially the primary care giver. I hope you get to feeling better soon dear friend.<br />Hugs<br />Jane<br />Gmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-89590257715655706632014-01-19T18:22:07.707-06:002014-01-19T18:22:07.707-06:00Hang tough!
