I hope you manage.<br /><br />A good read I've just enjoyed is "A Carpet Ride to Khiva: Seven Years on the Silk Road" by Christopher Aslan Alexander, here's a quick quote from a review "Alexander recounts his efforts to rediscover the lost art of traditional weaving and dyeing, and the process establishing a self-sufficient carpet workshop" (this is in Uzbekistan). I'm sure if you could get a copy it would help time pass more pleasantly.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-3341900610263638762010-03-10T20:12:41.655-08:002010-03-10T20:12:41.655-08:00Oh dear, I am so sorry.

I hope you can use this for mind time and take advantage of the six weeks.

When I had a ...So sorry to hear about your ankle!!<br /><br />When I had a foot injury a few years ago, I used office chairs with wheels in my house. I had one on each floor, so I could push myself around with my good foot and carry things. (So I could make lunch, put it on a tray, sit down and wheel myself to the table for example.) Hugely helpful when I was home alone (and so that my DH didn't want to leave after being asked for one too many items!!)There are different types of casters for different floor surfaces....so my DH swapped the original casters out to make it easier for me to scoot around.<br /><br />A lot of people also use a little cart with wheels to move stuff around with them on their crutches or walker. (I got used to crutches fast enough, and had well-honed armed and shoulders by the end of that....but it's hard to carry anything when you're on crutches.)<br /><br />Good luck!! Hope it heals up quickly and well!!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-44714612940906013552010-03-10T13:29:14.898-08:002010-03-10T13:29:14.898-08:00I'm taking the admonition to not put any weigh...I'm taking the admonition to not put any weight on it very seriously. :) It's also an opportunity to sit back and think about the future without the pressure of deadlines. Or to just go a bit brain dead and not think about anything at all. :}<br /><br />One thing that I likely will do is work on bobbin lace. Don't need feet for that! :D Or to go down the stairs to the studio - all my lace stuff it upstairs. <br /><br />I'm sure Doug will make copies of the prickings for me.<br /><br />LauraLaura Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599868570350256631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-77938807976994858322010-03-10T12:20:28.858-08:002010-03-10T12:20:28.858-08:00I am so glad the surgery went well.

I'm sure you'll find lots of handwork to keep you occupied, and time for all the reading you want. That's a luxury all in itself!Sandra Rudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691078578557110217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-50819471775602855322010-03-10T11:22:30.728-08:002010-03-10T11:22:30.728-08:00Sorry about the pain.

I had to use crutches and no weight on my left leg for 9 weeks after hip replacement surgery in 2001. Its a long time!<br />The Red Cross does loans of any medical equipment you may need. I had two walkers, one for each floor level and a set of crutches for each end of the staircase as well. Made life so much easier. If you have stairs, get someone to show you the trick to negotiating them.<br /><br />Get well soon!<br />SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-41788363450771360642010-03-10T11:05:28.260-08:002010-03-10T11:05:28.260-08:00Oooh...so sorry for your pain!
