Hi there Neighbors!!
Welcome to a misty day in dark Georgia!!!
My doc visit proved that I need surgery on both hands......That needle in both didn't do the trick.  They will call me when they have a surgery date.  Drats....ANOTHER diabetes cause!!!  Man, that problem can sure cause other problems in the body.  I have kept the rat medicated with pills all along but, apparently, it can still mess you up.....No pinching of fingers after surgery...which means a full blown panic for me....no games, no stitching, no designing, straight away!  ACKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, I have this swelling in my left thumb-suspected arthritis(my priority doctor), but this bone doc is looking into doing tests of both thumbs later.
I do not have a history of diabetes, or arthritis.  Don't forget....fellow stitchers, my hips and lower back, put me in the wheelchair, years ago.  I can walk around in little rooms, but not just stand.  I cook from the wheelchair.  My mom raised me to be strong.......with 3 strokes, Heart surgery, diabetes(not giving up), my mom did her job, don't you think??  I REALLY miss mom..........Most of all, my mom gave me her *Determination* of remaining a fighter.....then...maybe...born Taurus & in the year of the Snake...could have added punch to what wicked world throws at me!!
Thank you for reading this.  I helps getting it out, so I want dwell on it   ;)

Now, on to my latest dig find...........
