Hello my quilty friends. I'm not much good for anything useful right now- sitting in a wheelchair shifted to the left since the right "check" is too swollen and tender to allow sitting level. VBG The hospital stay was a nightmare of neglect and abuse with complaints filed with several regulatory agencies. The original hip surgery was a joke and the revision was described as very extensive by my doctor and he said- flat out- that the original surgery was done wrong. My 4-6 months of recovery are going to be difficult. I'll miss the entire gardening season- darnnit! And quilting will be an impossibility- my hands can't take any handwork due to arthritis. Sadly, the horse-pital quilt only makes me sad to look at it- I had my hubby put it in a closet. I guess reading, television and dreaming of when this nightmare is over will be my entertainment. The HairyButt Gang is taking this very hard. They are devoted to me and only dear, old, sickly Missy is calm and trustworthy enough to lay beside me on the bed. Bless her dear, loving heart. the other three are just too enthusiastic in their love for me. And my hubby- I knew he was wonderful, but..... I couldn't survive without him. He has gone above and beyond "the call of duty" a thousand times and we are only a week into this.
I'll try to drop as line or two as I can and thank you from my heart for all the prayers and good thoughts... Boy-o-boy did I ever need them.
Leslie
