Hi Blogger Friends. Thank you for all of the nice comments and well wishes. I did go see the orthopedic surgeon last Tuesday. I have
I'm having minor surgery done tomorrow and won't be able to stitch or crochet for 2 - 3 weeks. In fact I haven't stitched in the last week I have been doing jigsaw puzzles. I strongly urge all of you to see a doctor if you have any pain in your wrist or thumb. This has been going on for about 8 weeks and it is very very painful. You can go HERE to learn more about it and see what he is going to do. (Easier than me trying to explain it.)
I did work on a different piece for the third week.

De Quervain's Tendinosis
De Quervain's tendinosis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb are irritated or constricted. The word "tendinosis" refers to a swelling of the tendons. Swelling of the tendons, and the tendon sheath, can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist. This is particularly noticeable when forming a fist, grasping or gripping something, or when turning the wrist.
Two of the main tendons to the thumb pass through a tunnel (or series of pulleys) located on the thumb side of the wrist. Tendons are rope-like structures that attach muscle to bone. Tendons are covered by a slippery thin soft-tissue layer, called synovium. This layer allows the tendons to slide easily through a fibrous tunnel called a sheath.
Any swelling of the tendons and/or thickening of the sheath, results in increased friction and pain with certain thumb and wrist movements.

Good luck! Have had carpal tunnel surgery. So, I understand what you're going through to some extent. Have fun with your therapy...it really does work!
I'm sorry to hear about your pain Linda, I hope it can be fixed quickly. Your new kitties are so cute!
Oh Linda I am sorry you have such pain. I am praying for complete relief.
Wishing you a successful surgery and return (after therapy and all that!) to stitching. Your WIPs will wait! The twins are so cute!
Oh my goodness Linda I am so sorry, at least it is only minor surgery, I hope you heal fast.
Looks like the kids want to help with the puzzle.
I love the fabric color you chose for Friends Love and Family.
Blessings

All of your Lizzie Kate projects are cute, and the twins are adorable! They look like mischief makers, though. Good luck with your surgery, and I hope you heal quickly and can get back to stitching soon.
2-3 weeks!! How will you cope? Hope it is all successful.
At least you have gorgeous new kitties to take your mind off the surgery.
Sorry about the pain, glad you can get it fixed.
I hope surgery went well, Linda. And I hope that you are already on the mend. No needlework for some weeks is not too long and will help to get well again as soon as possible.
Nice L*K projects that you were stitching on.
Hi Linda, hope the surgery went well. You need to give rest to your hand to recover faster. Your LK projects are lovely.
Oh, dear, I'm sorry to read this, Linda, but I hope your surgery went well and you will recover quickly. That will be hard not to stitch or crochet for a few weeks, but it will be worth the sacrifice if the pain goes away.
I enjoyed seeing all of your projects! Take care now :)
Prayers and positive thoughts going your way!
I hope your surgery was a success Linda! Love the new twins, are they the puzzle piece thieves? Glad you found something relaxing to do while you are recovering.

I hope the surgery went well and you're on you're way to a speedy recovery! You have plenty to keep you busy once you can stitch again.
OMGoodness, M&M are adorable! They look like trouble though.. cute trouble!
I hope your surgery went well and you're recovering quickly!
I hope the surgery goes well and recovery is smooth and rapid. Love the cats..not sure I would be very pleased with my hubby if he brought home two cats though!
Hi Linda! Hope that surgery went well and that you are well down the road to recovery! I love your new starts :o) and your new babies are just adorable!
Thanks for the comment on my recent postings :o)
