Bless your heart -- I can certainly sympathize. And I'm thrilled that you are painting to distract yourself from the pain! Good for you! It's amazing how much it can help.

I used to paint, but my hands aren't as still as they used to be. So now I crochet alot, which helps. I just cannot sit still, even when I'm watching TV. LOL

I've been a chronic painer for over 25 years, so needless to say I've done alot of crocheting. LOL I do alot of crossword puzzles too -- they say it helps ward off Alzheimers. That scares me.

Just know that you have friends here who understand and are supportive. Visit often. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
