Yes. I am. I have sewn and knitted my way to ulnar nerve compression somewhere in my upper right arm. It’s not a typical case, and the surgeon said my incision will be twice as long as the normal one (at least) and he doesn’t know exactly what he needs to do until he actually looks at it in surgery. He said if it’s really acting weird he may have to relocate the nerve entirely.
So that’s scheduled for 13 Oct. He said I’ll be out of commission for 2 weeks, tops. I’ll still be running Manic Monday Linky Party and Feature Friday the whole time (I hope). But I wanted to know if anyone out there would like to guest post? Anywhere between 13 October and 28 October would be a HUGE help. It doesn’t have to be a tutorial, it can be a special item you sewed or knitted or embellished, or fabric news or whatever.
If you’re interested, the easiest way to get it to me is by sending me the HTML. Now, you DO NOT have to know HTML to do this. All you do is write your post in Blogger or whatever in the normal way, then hit the Edit HTML button and copy and paste the whole thing into Notepad. That’s it. That way all your pictures come out the way you want them to, etc.
So if you think you’d like to guest post for me and my 750 followers (hi guys! You rock!), please email me at jenna (at) sewhappygeek.co.uk. Thanks!
p.s. I’m scared as hell. I hate needles and IVs and pain and worry. Â My veins are so tiny that even the smallest IV causes non-stop pain. But my arm does hurt like crazy and I’m so sick of it. So wish me luck! :s

The very best of luck to you Jenna. I’m currently recovering from a knee operation that I had two weeks ago so I know how you’re feeling. It’ll all be over and done with before you know it.
Best of luck with the surgery. I’ve had to have both of mine done and it was honestly one of the most unexpected results ever. Total relief and a loss of all the arm and wrist pain I’ve suffered from for years. Yes my scars are huge at 6″ and I had a ruck with my surgeon but it was so worth it!
Aw Jenna
that sucks, but it will be worth it! You dont want to have to stop sewing and knitting because it gets too bad. I wish you all the luck and hope it works a treat.
I would have love to have guest posted but im such a newbie to blogging your 750 followers may abaondon ship if forced to read my ramblings on!

Good luck with your surgery. You will be in my prayers. You already know that I’m in for a post, just let me know what day, so I can have it ready for you!
feel free to see if i have anything from my blog you want to post. I got trek and tutorials galore! I have a lot going on just now, but if I have time, I will write something new for you. In the next two weeks I have three family visits and a ladies luncheon to prep for.
Good luck! I bet you’ll be so happy when it’s over and your arm feels like new. 🙂
Hi Jenna,
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. I wish you all the best.
Sure, I can guest post if you’re looking for folks. No problem!
Cindy
So sorry to hear about your pain. I hope your surgery goes well and easier than they hope. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
Oh dear! Poor you! Hope you feel better soon!
I would love to do a guest post but cannot think what I would say! love Annie x
Hope you heal up fast and get back to doing what you love. Feel better!
I’ll do a post just for you!
Yikes, sorry about the surgery, hope it goes well. I could guest post for you (but possibly you want to reserve that offer for when you’re REALLY desperate ;o) )
Oh honey. I’m sure it will all go well. I hope you recover quickly.
I might have something I can guest post. I’ll check and see then email you.
hi chick hope all goes well and you heal quickly. You need to get someone trained up to run round after you for the 2 weeks so you can rest up 🙂
I hope that it all goes well for you and you make a speedy recovery – if you need anyone else to guest post, then do let me know. I would be happy to help out.

Sorry to hear you need surgery on the arm, Once it is over you will feel glad you had it done, I’m sure. Be thinking of you on the 13th.
