Hello Again

Hi all, If you remember me that is, been missing for a while.
I'm still having major probs with my finger & going for physio, also wearing a compression to try & get the swelling down, surgery still isn't quite off the agenda, just wish it would get better.
I'm looking very posh with my finger stuck in the air, even though it has a spring support clamped over it, this makes any colouring impossible, writing too with difficulty.

I actually have managed to make a couple of things, so will post tomorrow, totally different for me as there's no coloured images.

Hope the weather improves soon it's like winter here, even though yesterday was actually like summer, Ah well, would,nt it be boring if every day was the same.
Take care ,

Hi

I hope you all had a nice easter break & enjoying some nice April showers!! we had a lightening storm today with hail, sun & rain, freezing cold then warm sunshine all the seasons within minutes, it can only happen here!

I'm still having trouble with my fingers , I now have an infection & feel they constantly have boiling water being poured over them, so not really much in the mood of anything, I'm now on mega bugbuster antib's only started them yesterday & can feel improvement already, still unable to write as I can't close my hand, hopefully thes tablets will sort me out.

I'm still enjoying reading, thank goodness for good books, & long walks they've saved from completely going mad, my latest recommended read is Anna Smith "The Dead Won't Sleep" another great page turner.

TTFN Off to bed for an early night, I'm sleeping for Scotland just now.
Take care

Hi

Update on my injuries aren't as good as I hoped, my right hand & especially my pinkie & ring finger are just flopping about. I've had the support taken off but will prob need surgery to straighten them, but no guarantees, I have to wait another three weeks to see if I can get them moving, still can't make a fist.
On the brighter side I've been out in the glorious sunshine reading, just finished a Jo Nesbo "The Devils Star", couldn't put it down, for lovers of detective stories & thrillers, highly recommended.
Totally different theme I'm now off to start "Call the Midwife", also just bought "The Help".
any other recommendations welcome.
I'm booked in to a SU workshop in 4weeks so really looking forward to that, just hope I can do more than watch.
Happy weekend & hope the sun stays shinning

Manicure done

Well she came, took one look at my still very obvious black eye, asked what on earth I'd done & still it didn't dawn, well eventually her face just dropped, when she noticed both arms damaged.
We had a bit of a laugh at the "broken  nail text", my nails are now looking really pretty with a french manicure & no screams in the process.
I'm sorry but I can only manage a wee while on here as my fingers get really sore & tired, hopefully another week should at least let me try some crafting, I've got a pile of books which are keeping me from being bored.
Take care Ann x

hello

Hi all, sorry I've not managed on for a while, my hands have been quite painful, but easing a bit now & good news I had my cast off & now have a removable splint, right fingers still a bit swollen though. still can't manage crafting or even writing, I have a big house elf called Chris doing the housework, so being very spoiled.

On the funny side, I'm due for a manicure tomorrow & decided to go ahead with it as my nails are getting a bit too long, Emma comes to the house & I have gel nails, anyhow sent her a message about broken fingers to pre-warn her........ message returned , "That's OK, we'll manage to fix them tomorrow". can't waite to see her face, I assume she thinks my nails are broken LOL. will let you know tomorrow!

Another nice bit of news, I have a new great niece Xanthe Niamh she has lots of black hair will add a pic tomorrow along with blanket & card I thankfully had already finished.
Take care

No Crafting for a While

Hi all, hope you're having a better day than me!
Just spent the morning in A&E I fell on the way to the bus, I was going to Glagow to the SECC & tripped over a paving stone.
I now have two broken fingers R. hand & a plaster on L. arm, a black eye & a skinned knee, so looks like I won't be doing anything for a while, can just about manage to turn pages of a book.
Plus side, won't be doing any housework, good thing  my son's well trained, his comment, the lengths you'll go to get out og doing the ironing!!

Hope you all have a good weekend & think of me if your going to the SECC.
A wee plus side is I'm going to a SU workshop on Saturday, at least I'll be able to watch & I'm sure spend a little bit too.
Take care

I couldn't sleep last night & started counting PB's I do have a lot of them & more than a few never been used.
