Thank you, Jill for the great photos. I've been lurking and thought I'd finally post. We are still in Tucson, not back home in Idaho. DH had an auto accident and fractured C2, the vertabrae that supports the head. He is not paralyzed, thank God. But, he is in a turtle shell (front and back) brace from his armpits to below his waist. A steel rod connects that to his cervical brace. The accident happened 6 weeks ago; another 6 in the brace - minimum, before we can travel. No healing showed on the last CAT scan, but that may not show until later. The doctor was not concerned. He can't do much other than feed himself, no bending or twisting. He is in bed much of the time but can be up for an hour or so 2-3 times each day. Riding in a car is very painful - as is getting out and in. Thus, I've been learning to be a caretaker. And, have decided that there was a reason why I didn't choose that profession. What a difficult job. No quilting is going on, keep thinking I'll get at it but the creativity isn't there. The weather is getting hot. 100s forcast for all of next week. Will take out several of the plants, just too hot for them.
