Hi my name is Gale Bolles

I am 56 and a disabled widow. I have been crocheting for about 40+ years. I crochet for a little extra money and to keep my sanity. I am a care giver for my parents that are both in poor health. I love crocheting for friends and relatives.
Sorry it has taken me so long to introduce myself. I just recently had an ankle replacement surgery and have now been able to walk without severe pain. Talking to a surgeon next week about hip problems. Thank you for adding me to your group.

Hello and welcome from Pa. Nice to have you with us. My husband was to have a hip replacement but we had to put everything on hold because he devolped a bad kidney stone infection. I am glad you had such good luck with your ankle and when you have your hip replacement

Hi Gale,
I'm just a few years younger than you. I'm 53. I turned 53 in April of this year. I've been crocheting for quite a few years too but I didn't start crocheting until I was in my teens or 20's. I'm glad you're able to walk without severe pain! My husband and I shoveled the garden and my foot was sore that night but was better by the next morning. Do you still have pain when you walk? Continue to let us know how you are doing and if you need prayer. Ask any questions you might have.

Jean

Hi Gale, Since some of you are telling our ages, I might as well tell you that I'm a twin & we're 60 years old! I guess I'm the oldest one here. Yikes! I am vertually somewhat a semi-beginner crocheter. I make up my own afghan patterns (simple but, functional) for all of my 3 nieces' babies I would really like to do one soon that is a little more advanced but, I don't understand most of techniques/stitches. I'm one of those persons that have to be "shown" to "learn"! I still don't even understand how to "post" pictures of the afghans that I have already made! Yikes!!! Scooters

Scooters, Hi,
Can you put the pictures on your camera on the computer?

[Scooters]

Hi Jean Marie, My pictures are already downloaded in the computer. I just don't know how to find the pictures that I need and transfer them over to this website. I've been hoping for a long time that my twin sister would help me but, she usually has bad migraines like I do. I don't let my migraines govern my life though My sister is coming over this morning to "blow dry" my hair. I can't raise my left arm at all beause I have a bad "rotator cuff". My surgery is on the 29th of May. I have been in Physical Therapy for over 4 months all ready, while I was waiting for an insurance "ok"! I am thankful that it is my left arm and not my right arm. I already had this surgery on my right arm...Yikes By the way, I just want to know that you are such a "Sweetie"! Always caring & giving

Hi Scooters,
Thank you!
I'm sorry to hear that you had surgery on your right arm and are going to have surgery on your left arm. Do you have migraines often? Does nausea come with it? Did the doctors say what is causing it?
