Another update, March 28

Today I am allowed to sit for a maximum of 15 minutes at my computer (since it’s got a good supportive chair) after lying flat for several hours… I have to say I’m getting impatient with this recovery. On the other hand, I’m grateful that I really am improving, finally. Wednesday we got to the real reason for the back pain – a dislocated rib – and today I can see real progress for a change. Thanks for all your good wishes.

It will be several more days before I can evaluate whether or not I’ll be able to finish my SWAP 2008. I do have more than half of the garments in place, but that still leaves some sewing and even some cutting-out to be done. We’ll see. My main goal for SWAP this year was to have wearable clothing for my day to day life – I’ve met that goal! I’ve worn my SWAP items to both medical appointments this month! (the total of my sojourns from this house since March 5…) lol

March 12, 2008 update

Just a check-in to let you know that I’m still around, but have been ILL. A long convoluted bunch of things that started with a week long bout with that very BAD influenza that’s been making the rounds this year and now badly straining my lower back from the spasmodic coughing.

BUT…things are looking up. I appear to be recovering, at least from the flu! A few more days of eating and sleeping and I’ll no doubt be back sewing my SWAP. I’ll show my TIF challenges when I’m able to actually take some photos.
