April W Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am having a "forced break" from quilting and basically everything. I first got an ea & sinus infection. Put on antibiotics and told to go home and sleep for a few days by doctor. Then I somehow manage to get an infection in my leg. I was put on a stronger type of antibiotics and told to keep my foot elevated for a few days. You can't do much sitting with your foot elevated. My DH is looking forward to me being up and well again as he has been doing all the cooking, dishes, cleaning and laundry. On the bright side I did try my first hand quilting project. It doesn't look too bad for a first time. Will try to get Birthday blocks finished soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewingupastorm Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 April I am sorry to hear about your forced break from quilting. I do hope you feel better and are back to your usual routine soon. Hey if it were me being told to put my foot up I would have a really good excuse to work on the hand applique border I am putting on a quilt..............as it is I have to just do a little here and there and keep trying to make good progress.

Mary Beth Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 April, Hope you are up and going soon. I am the queen of sinus infections, but knock on wood, I haven't had one in a year. Started taking vitamins - I think that helps. Enjoy the time you have with your foot in the air...your DH will come to appreciate you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Oh April, I'm sorry to hear that you are seriously under the weather. Great time for handwork, or for eating bonbons. Your choice. Feel better soon. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonden Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Here's a little tip from my dentist of all people. He's a great one for using natural products for wellness. I used to have a lot of sinus and allergy problems and he told me to buy honey from a local beekeeper. Use that in tea or whatever you bake etc. In this way, you are working up an immunity to the local little beasties that get us. Seems to have worked for me. Another health nut I know told me about the 1 tablespoon of honey and vinegar equal parts every morning to help combat viruses. That little trick also helps. Again, use the honey from your own area, not the store bought kind. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 My mom swears by the honey trick. She takes it in the comb, and chews up the comb and all. Dad used to raise bees, and that's where she got started with it. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
