Hi All! I'm still here, re-cooperating from surgery. Hoping to be back to baking very soon. Today is the first day I am on the computer besides my phone. My home office is upstairs and I require supervision on stairs so have been reserving those times for getting into my walk in shower, priorities.
Well, my supervisor, AKA husband has a few extra hours this morning before he heads out so here I am. Time to get caught up on emails, and my website, it's been since July 9th.
I am still hoping to be at Valley Vista Craft Shows in September. I get sutures out this coming Monday and thinking I will be able to handle standing to make cookie dough after that. What a ride it's been I'll tell you.
For those of you on my personal page you know what happened, but to the rest of you, I will tell you the story. While on vacation to the Oregon Coast, Brookings OR, we traveled down to the Trees of Mystery Redwood Forest south of Crescent city California. Upon arriving, I was gawking at flowers in the landscaping, didn't see a parking curb in the parking lot, and face planted. I sprained my left elbow and wrist, banged up my chin, (think I still need to have the dentist check my jaw), and broke my right knee cap completely in half.
After the hospital did not address the open wound on my knee before I left the ER, the wound got infected and I was unable to have a speedy surgery to repair the knee cap until the infection was cleared up. So three weeks after I broke it, I was able to have surgery and am in a very long recovery period. Zero movement of my knee for at least 30 days, yes, I am in a brace, then on to small increased allowed movement and physical therpy after that.
You have no idea how I am going crazy not doing anything. I need to bake! I can't even get out to the garden.
Hope for good things coming soon is all I can say. This girl is itching to get back into it!!
Best wished to you all as the summer comes to it's end, enjoy those days.
