It is a comfort to know that there are so many out there thinking of me, so a big thank you to all those who have posted a comment here on my blog, at least I am able to write her. But anything fiddly like zippers and buttons are hard to handle, and don't even think of shoelaces.
I can not write here without posting a picture. Sometime back I showed my inherited bone shuttles, the picture above is my wooden shuttles and they all have a story. The "ICT 2005" shuttle was one we had made when we celebrated the first year of online chatting (International Chat Tatters). The "Neil Keats" shuttle is the one I won at the Whittlesea Show in 2006 for my variegated and white square doily (early posting on the blog).
The 2 shuttles to the right are from my visit to Australia in 2006, the Kangaroo one I bought at the NSW Guild meeting in Sydney that Ginny and I attended and the one in the lower right corner is one that Jenni and Maureen had made to celebrate the 4 of us meeting each other in Brisbane.
I do try to tat with all of them once in a while and they are such nice memories to have from some very special occasions.
Now I will go back to lurkdom, and even if I can not tat yet I do vist blogs and drool over the stuff you do and dream of what I am going to do in a week or two - perhaps.

Hang in there. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I know it would be very hard on me if I couldn't tat. At least you have lots of pretty pictures to look at on blogs and time to plan your next projects. The shuttles are lovely.
Yes, yes, do take care of yourself...hope you don't get the "shakes" or "hallucinations" while you are abstaining from your habit!
Ypur shuttles are all so very nice and what precious memories tou have attached to them! :)
Your shuttles are great, thank you for sharing them. I'm looking forward to when your back up to speed and have more beauties to share with us. :-)
You have my complete understanding as a couple of years ago I broke my left wrist, and it really was harder than I would have ever believed. The time will pass and
you will be more in love with your art than ever. I used the time to go through books and newsletters again. It's amazing how you forget
things you have in books. I also
made a list of what I was going to do when it was over, and when it was, went in a totally different direction! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
I miss seeing you on MSN! Just hang in there,you'll be tatting again before you know. HUGS!!!!
Linda :o)
