Minnow...I've seen the pictures you have posted of your work, it's fantastic!
I've been an OTR trucker too (team with my hubby)harder work than it seems like...did you have your accident in the truck?
I'm sure glad you survived the wreck, even if you do have some problems because of it. Sounds like you had that trucker's angel on your shoulder!
You hang in there...and keep quilting!!

I think it's great that you have a fantastic attitude! I had brain surgery a few years ago and as a result I lost my right field vision (told it was permanent). I had to adjust the way I look at things and remember where things are so I don't bump into them or burn myself while cooking, I try not to drive often and it's been difficult to read. I still get really bad headaches and migraines. I thought my therapy was soduku, which I play daily, until I took up quilting. It may take me while but it is so relaxing. My sewing/dining area is set up where mostly everything is to the left of me this way I can see better and do less turning to the right to get something. Good luck to you and keep up the great work!
