    I'm alive and recovering.

    Most of you do not know me but for those that do I am updating you on my health. This has been a hard year for me. I had a pulmonary embolism on the Saturday before Mother's Day and I was in the hospital for 4 days. I was home from Tuesday to Monday when I passed out and had a truck wreck. I was alone with my dogs and I ran off the road into a ditch and then a culvert and the truck almost flipped it was leaning over with wheels in the air. My face must have hit the steering wheel so it was badly bruised and I hit my head causing 2 large bumps. At the ER they found a brain bleed between the lobes and a broken back at T-12 and a broken pelvis. It was hard and I had surgery to repair the spine but I am home and recovering. I have worn a turtle shell brace but I am in a less restrictive one now. I have to wear the brace for 2 more months. I am still crocheting but I haven't finished the sweater I am working on. I am going to make sandals for my niece that is expecting a girl. Love to all my old friends and hello to the new ones.

    Faye! It's so good to hear from you! I am sooooo sorry that you've been through so much. My goodness, you've really had a difficult time over the past couple of months.

    We've all been praying for you, and we missed you! I'm glad to hear that you're able to crochet again. I know it helps pass the time while you're recovering.

    Please keep us posted on how you're doing. And I'd love to see some photos of the sweater you're working on.

    Larissa, I have missed you! Shelley, I am stuck on the sleeves for the sweater and all I have to do is finish a sleeve and do the edging and I can not make myself work on it. Laying in bed is a hard angle to crochet. I will post a picture if I finish it.

    I have missed ya'll too.I got so busy with Facebook that i didn't feel like I had time for both but I want to come back to this site. I made wonderful friends on here and I could use some more. I finished the sweater and I am enclosing pictures. I had trouble adding pictures so look for them on another post.
