WOYWW#648 - November Dawns

Hi Guys, I think October was a bit of a wash out for me post operatively. Weeks 3 and 4 post-op were quite traumatic. If you want to see my wound progression over 5 weeks have a look at my post from last week HERE.


I have managed to get some crafting done since last week so here I am back to show you all.

First my desk with the last page from April 2021. Was getting a bit bored with my same old 4 photo layouts so Googled some sketches and one is on my desk.

My favourite one was this one though, worked out really well methinks.

Previous to that were, chair to bench upcycling and setting a few geocaches in the local woods.

And of course my pond planting and prodding.

Scar is really sore and hypersensitive so I made up a book of different fabrics to stroke it with. Desk is a Hand Gym as I'm seeing a Hand Therapist trying to get my movement back. I can sew again without my hand going numb though which is most definitely a plus.

Wrist is really sore today as I probably did a bit too much yesterday as I'm back to driving at last. Typing is difficult so I'll stop here.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    The layouts are fun and it’s always worth checking out new ways of doing things. Glad your wrist is on the mend, you’ll soon be back to normal!

    I'm so sorry you've been having such trouble with your hand - it sounds awful. My hand was painful but I had ultrasound treatment for several weeks afterwards which helped tremendously. I also rubbed Bio oil on it daily and I think that helped the skin a lot. I'm glad you are able to craft a bit now, and the pages you've done are great - I like the new design.
    Hope you have good week,

    I looked at your last post with interest as my daughter is supposed to be having both hands done. She has to have some tests first, no date for that as yet. Glad you are starting to heal and get back to normal. Take it easy Angela #14
