I am back!

Hello, fellow bloggers.  I realize I haven't been writing or doing anything miniature for about 5 days.  Why?  Had a stroke on Jan. 10.  Luckily, much of the damage began to reverse itself but I still had problems with speech, my right foot and right hand. 

I did intense therapy with 2 of the best, Janice and Megan, at Shore Rehabilitation Institute, where I was an inpatient. 

Part of my hand therapy will be making minis.  And typing.  My 2 little fingers on my right hand do not want to work well.  So typing will help.  And I have strengthening exercises, too.  I don't have to use a wheelchair, walker or cane, so I consider it such a blessing.

I'm off from work for 6 weeks so there's no excuse for not getting my faerie village done.

I'll be doing some mini things tomorrow so stay tuned.

Until then...

Pat
