OMG! I hope it's not too bad for you. I'm sending out prayers and healing thoughts your way. (And if you need physical therapy I hope you get a real cutie like I did ;) I'll keep the light on for you!
My mother broke her leg (tibia and fiblua) at 70 and claims that she spackled it together with cottage cheese. Bring on the dairy products and we'll keep the knitting needles warm. I hope someone will read all these good wishes to you.
I really hope you are not in too much pain and that you heal as fast as possible. Ask for drugs, lots and lots of drugs. Better living through chemicals and all that. Get well soon!
That was just about the worst that could happen - but just to cheer you up - my grandma (80) broke her arm this spring and was knitting after 2 weeks, though slowly and with her cast on. Take good care of your arm, best well-wishes from Denmark.
So sorry to hear about the fall. Good luck with the mending. My guess is that with the forced hiatus you will have every stitch of Alexander's sweater planned before ever casting on.
Dear Jean, Hope your arm will mend well and quick. Have been following your blog quietly and hope you will update us on your healing progress, albeit just short notes.
I broke my left elbow a year ago. No fun at all, but be good to yourself and do your therapy and you'll be knitting again in no time. (I think someone actually told me that knitting is good for regaining your mobility once your bones are solidly in place again.)
I hope you're feeling better and healing up little by little. Perhaps some cider? Princess will be there when you're feeling better, and we're here if you feel lonely.
Well, bugger. Just as the Princess was making such stateley progress, too. Like other's have said, I hope healing is swift and not painful and that the break didn't involve hardware having to be inserted. The cast must make all the other usual activities in life a bit of a trial as well : ( I hope you can get some drafting done in the interim period. Hugs, Kate
Jean, I'm so sorry to hear of your injury. Please ask someone else to post for you (if you can't now) to let us all know how you're getting along. Wish I were close enough to offer you some assistance. You have my wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care, Penny
Mar,the Knitting Curmugeon has now told the entire knitting/blogging community of your misfortune and ordered us all to come wish you better. Needless to say, I do not argue with the KC, and would wish you well regardless. painkillers ... goooooooood. hugz from downunder
Jean, I hope you have a very speedy recovery . . . drink lots of milk (better late than never) and do all the exercises suggested to get you back in form.
Dear Jean, I've been reading your blog all summer, and just wanted to thank you for pointing me toward Pam Dawson in an earlier post. I went to eBay and found several of her books, and now I am enjoying them greatly. I actually had one of them in my collection already, but had not registered the name of the designer, just knew I really liked the patterns in that "Traditional Island Knitting" book.
I am sorry about your arm, and really miss reading about your Vogue knitting collection. Thanks for the good advice!
I used to read your blog before I decided blog-reading was taking up too much of my time. Today I had some time to kill so I decided to look at a few knitting blogs. I'm so sorry you're injured! How darn inconvenient for a knitter...
Just wondering how you are doing. I was enjoying having discovered your blog and now you have disappeared! Hope your arm is healing and that you will soon be sharing your knitting and other adventures with us.
I'm sure that my empathy doesn't even hold a flame to your pain & misery but you have it nonetheless. I really hope that you have a restful convalescence and a full recovery!!
Oh no, Jean.
ReplyDeleteHow hideous!
Hope the pain, and boredom, don't drive you bonkers.
I'm so sorry, Jean! I hope it's a quick healing break.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I hope you feel better soon. Perhaps some cider?
ReplyDeleteoh, ouch! I wish you fast healing!

ReplyDeleteWishing you speedy recovery! Perhaps you'll find some way to do a bit of knitting when the initial pain subsides.

oh - that's just not fair - just when the Princess was moving along at such a nice pace!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you are not in too much pain and that you heal as fast as possible. Ask for drugs, lots and lots of drugs. Better living through chemicals and all that. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jean, I'm so sorry you are hurt. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Hopefully you can still click the mouse and make those ebay purchases. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh no! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing for a speedy recovery.
Oh no!
ReplyDeleteThat was just about the worst that could happen - but just to cheer you up - my grandma (80) broke her arm this spring and was knitting after 2 weeks, though slowly and with her cast on.
Take good care of your arm, best well-wishes from Denmark.

Get better soon - hoping for speedy bone knitting. And at least you have some glorious new old VKs to read
ReplyDeleteJean, I'm so sorry. I hope the break will heal quickly and that you don't have too much discomfort.
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear about your arm:-(
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean you can blog about your knittingbooks for a while??
You seem to have quite a few, and some of them have sounded really interesting.
Like everybody else I hope your arm will heal fast and without any complications!
So sorry to hear about the fall. Good luck with the mending. My guess is that with the forced hiatus you will have every stitch of Alexander's sweater planned before ever casting on.
ReplyDeleteDear Jean,
ReplyDeleteHope your arm will mend well and quick. Have been following your blog quietly and hope you will update us on your healing progress, albeit just short notes.
Take care,

Oh Jean, what a pigging nuisance!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can experiment with some coloured pencils and graph paper regarding your Fair Isle ideas?
Colouring in squares must be quicker than swatching and easier at present - unless you're a mollydooker like me ;)
Best wishes
So sorry to hear of your accident, hope you heal well and quickly, take care, Yvette
ReplyDeleteJean, I'm so sorry to read about your accident. I hope you heal very, very quickly.

ReplyDeleteSorry to read about your accident, Jean. Speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of your accident. I hope that your recovery is swift.
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to hear your news. Do hope you have swift and not too painful recovery.
ReplyDeleteVera
Dear Jean - so sorry to hear about your accident. Maybe you could just do a lot of reading about knitting.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to send something to Jean, I'm willing to be the snail-mail drop. Email me for my address: lornajay@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMore good wishes, dear heart, from sarah in oregon

ReplyDeleteoh, dear Jean, hope it's better soon, take good care, get some physical therapy and eat well. all the best
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your injury. Please heal quickly and get back to your lovely knitting.
ReplyDeleteDear Jean,
ReplyDeleteI'm calling in absolutely all of my Karma chips to wish you a speedy return to blog and needles! Had to de-lurk to tell you!

Oh, so sorry to hear about this. I broke both bones in the arm 3 yrs ago,so know what your going thru. Healing thoughts coming your way.
ReplyDeleteJean,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a very speedy recovery . . . drink lots of milk (better late than never) and do all the exercises suggested to get you back in form.
I'm so sorry. May you have a speedy & full recovery! In the mean time, typing & surfing with one hand may be easier than knitting one-handed.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your arm. I hope it heals quickly and well.
ReplyDeleteYikes. I hope your arm heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
