Pennyquilts Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I found out today that I am going to have to have surgery on my right arm. Three years ago I was in an accident that broke both bones in my right arm. They placed 2 plates and 14 screws to repair the bones. It was at that time decided to leave them in due to my age. Well, a few days ago I noticed this strange looking lump on my right arm. Today, after 3 xrays, and an MRI today they found a displaced screw. It has worked its way to the surface. I see the surgen on Monday in the mean time no lifting anything over 4 pounds, no truning door knobs and pushing or pulling with that arm. OH FUN!!! This is also compounded by the fact I take blood thinners. GRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Penny....here's a heap of good luck with your screw loose... Siana just had to have one of hers removed last week, also one was working its way to the top and ready to poke through...surgery was rather uneventful and already back being a teenager. Siana even was able to keep her "Loose Screw" rather pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDquilter Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Penny: Good luck with your surgery - follow the doctor's plans for rehab and you'll be quilting in no time. "Screw Loose" - love that one! In the meantime find some good books (or quilting magazines) and take it as a sign that you need to slow down for the time being. My prayers are with you!!

Sorry, Penny I guess it can't be helped, It must be painful and I pray for a quick and pain-free recovery! Blessings to you and hopefully you can be back to quilting in no time flat!!

Now I really do have a Screw Loose to be even thinking about such a thing. LOL Hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
