update: back from sick leave
Thank you all so much for your kind comments and well-wishes about my accident.
Because of the concussion, my head has been hurting too much until now to spend more than a few minutes at a time on my computer or phone, so I haven’t replied to anyone individually (either here or on social) to say thanks, but please know that it meant a lot to me to get your messages when I was feeling very sorry for myself!
A little health update
Most of my injuries are healing nicely. I have a dentist’s appointment this weekend for my broken tooth, and hopefully by then the concussion will have completely faded and it’ll be safe for me to drive myself there and back. I’m still feeling a little confused, but the killer headaches have faded and I’m coming back to myself.
It was a pretty scary experience, but reading some of the comments people have left me about their similar falls onto concrete that resulted in a broken arm or pelvis, or still having occasional head problems years later, I’m counting myself lucky that I have no lasting damage beyond a ruined pair of expensive glasses and a broken front tooth (and I’m hopeful that my dentist can restore my smile so you’d never know the difference – I know that’s just vanity, but please keep your fingers crossed for me on that front!)
And a little work update
As you’ll already know if you get my newsletter (and if you don’t, sign up now!), my next crochet pattern was due to be a Tortoise with a very detailed crocheted shell. Finishing the shell assembly instructions is still a little beyond my slightly-concussed brain, so I’m putting the pattern on hold for a couple more weeks, or until I’m completely recovered.
But I do have a different design I’ve been working on that needs none of that pesky careful thinking to find exactly the right phrase that most clearly describes an innovative process, so I should have a new pattern for you soon – it just won’t be the one I’d planned to release this month!
I’m still taking things slowly and needing plenty of naps and rest sessions, so please be patient with me as I try to catch up with everything I let slide last week without overdoing things and making my head hurt again…

Glad to hear you’re on the mend. I’ve been excited to see what new patterns you’ll have ready for us in the time frame that works best for you. In the mean time, I’ve been filling in my Planet June back catalog (your work is very popular in my portfolio) to keep myself out of trouble. Sending positive thoughts that your healing stays on track.

So pleased to hear that you are recovering, albeit slowly June. Take the time you need to recover and get yourself up and running and back to normal. Your health is most important and the rest is a bonus. :100: The rest can wait. :bouquet:

So glad that you are doing better. Whenever you get the Tortoise ready my wife will want me make it. It would be a great winter project cause with this heat I am busy taking care of the lawn ( at least trying too). Get better eash day.
