yeah!! Spring is almost here.  Our days here in NC are running in the 60's and lows at night are in the 30's.  I am getting out walking and feeling good.  

I had my 6 month with the Cardo Dr and all looks good - another 6 months on the Blood eds and I can come off of those as long as I continue to do my walking and eat healthy.  My weight as almost to goal.

I had my check up with the orthopedic for the carpel tunnel - the surgery has healed really well but I still have tingling.  He explained that the nerves regenerate at 1mm per day so I have about 150 days from the tunnel to the end of my finger.  I have full use of the hands and still wear a brace on each at night.  I have decided to postpone the right hand until just before Christmas of 24 that way I will be healed for work by mid Jan at the latest (I was quilting 8 days after the left hand) and there is always the possibility that using the braces I may not need the surgery on the right hand at all by Christmas.  Here is hoping.  

I hope every one is staying warm, healthy and happy and please send the quilts my way.  Right now it has been really slow and I am bored - That is not a good thing for me.   I have however pieced a few quilts of my own - I made one for my grandson and then he quilted it himself.  He will start working with me a few days a week learning on his own or charity quilts.  So far he has done really well with it and shows a natural talent for quilting.  He made is very 1st quit when he was 5 - he is almost 21 now and it has been a pleasure for me to watch him and my granddaughter blossom into such wonderful adults.  This Sunday we Celebrate my granddaughters 22 birthday.  She enjoys the quilting as well but is studying and working as a Vet Tech.  I am so proud of them both.

All for now, Doing good and ready to get back to work,

Rebecca
