Kate here with a Pam-o-gram update. Above: that’s post-op Pam trying to give a peace sign.
Her surgery yesterday morning to get plates put in her arm and wrist went smoothly. After surgery, the doctor gave her a new, sleeker cast that allows her fingers to move enough so she will be able to type while her arm heals — hallelujah! Right now she is trying hard to get some rest and relaxation, but she’s having blog withdrawals and has been sneaking over to the computer to reply to a few comments here and there. Pam says it is driving her nuts that she can’t yet type like a madwoman like she did before her tiki-accident, but I keep telling her that all of you wonderful readers understand why she hasn’t been as active as usual replying to comments here and on our Facebook page. Bottom line, Pam is now on the mend and has the determination of a ravenous piraña to get back to her ‘crazy in a good way’ life as usual here at Retro Renovation. Thanks so much for all the well wishes, captions and understanding — we both really appreciate it.

I’m glad you’re recovering! I just got back to work after getting in a collision with a drunk driver, so I can tell you from immediate experience: don’t overdo it, it’ll take that much longer to be back on your feet!
While you’re taking it easy, there’s lots of time to look at colors and patterns, I know I got a lot of planning done on my place (although I had to hire a crew to do work I’d have ordinarily done myself…and one of my friends bribed them to make sure I didn’t try to help!)
Get back up and running soon!

I just read about your accident and surgeries. I haven’t been able to be on my computer hardly at all due to some muscle or nerve problems in my upper back. It burns terribly when I do certain positions, the computer is a big culprit, unfortunately. I really hate being so limited on my RetroReno time. 🙁
I am sending you my best wishes for a quick, easy and full recovery from your surgery. I found you while I was recovering from one of my many spine surgeries and your blog helped me pass many long boring days of inactivity. Hopefully, you can find something just as fun and educational during your “non-typing” phase. You always seem to dig up the best things for us to see. Get Well Soon, Lisa 🙂

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hey, I recruited a newbie for you. Who knew my sister liked retro? We were shopping for a new tv stand for her in Vancouver and she fell in love with a retro “thingy”. Naturally I said, “Hey, if you like retro, why not visit my friend’s site Retro Renovation.” I’m back in Belgium and she is trying to sell her big armoire to fit the retro tv stand. 🙂
