Lack of Blogging

I deeply apologize to all of you who follow my blog(s) that I have not been writing as of lately.

I have developed Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (aka severe pain in the wrists and hands) a couple of weeks ago and it's been getting worse everyday.

I haven't done any more than 5 rows (12 stitches per row) of knitting with a big, loopy yarn every 2-3 days...no crocheting...barely any coloring or card-making.
If I do color or make cards - I take lots of breaks between each color even or each step.

It's to the point I can't close my hands some nights when I'm asleep - so my hands look like old-lady C-shapes and are very numb.  It went from one wrist to another and is primarily more of an issue in my right hand (I am right-handed) and has spread within the last couple of days, to my finger tips.
It's hard to cut a peanut butter sandwich, use chopsticks or even hold a glass of milk or a pen.
And as you can tell - I've been cutting back (or trying very hard to) on typing...

I'm hoping this will all go away VERY soon - as in within the next month...I had an appointment today with the doctor who recommended some gels etc. for the pains...but if it doesn't go away by end of next month, I'm looking at surgery to correct my hands and relieve the pain they said...

Thanks for following and I hope to be blogging and crafting (and filming!!) more SOON!
