My physiotherapist tells me that next Tuesday we can celebrate a separation from the splint and then she will give me a stress ball to squeeze and thereby strengthen my hand. I could have done with stress ball in the last five weeks! Anyway I will forgo stitching until then and meanwhile spend evenings

And now for a change
Despite a black silicon splint I have managed to make progress. Reverse stitching has been frustrating though and so I have decided this piece will go to Time Out.
My physiotherapist tells me that next Tuesday we can celebrate a separation from the splint and then she will give me a stress ball to squeeze and thereby strengthen my hand. I could have done with stress ball in the last five weeks! Anyway I will forgo stitching until then and meanwhile spend eveningsporing over sorting through some boxes from the stash cupboard. If I can't stitch easily I can still dream big! I feel the need for something other than cross stitch so watch this space!

That's great news :) I'm sure without the splint you'll be back with the crafting in now time. Until then, a little dreaming might be just the right thing to do!
Good to hear about your progress on the medical front. Yes, some projects need to be shelved; there is no reason to spend a lot of time reverse stitching. Dream big, and then pick a nice little project that is sure to strengthen your hand rather than strain it.
So grateful you are healing! Following your progress from California, and being impressed with all you achieve.
Wonderful news that the end of splint time is nearing! Stash sifting is a fairly good alternative when one can't stitch - looking forward to seeing/hearing about what you have in mind next.
I am glad to hear that you are healing and will be able to craft again soon. Looking forward to seeing what you choose to start first.
Good to read that the splint will be removed soon.
