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.

Would a special delivery from Catherine’s Chocolates help? You will be out and blogging real soon.
Jodie Davis says
Heal quickly Pam! And thanks Kate for keeping all the balls up in the air in the meantime. You two are quite a team!
Waving to everyone from my 1963 butterfly roof house in north Geoogia,
Jodie

Pam – perhaps you should make a sacrifice to the tiki gods before resuming blog duties. They may want more than your arm next time! 😉
Janice says
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and take the time to heal properly! You can always spend this time watching old Bewitched shows to study all the wonderful sets and clothes. That’s how I spent my time a couple of years ago when I was recovering from surgery. 🙂 Kate, thank you for keeping us up to date!
Nancy B says
Oh Pam!!! I am so sorry you had to have surgery!!! That barkcloth did a number on you!! Please take the time to heal properly so you will be back on the computer & back on the LADDER!!! Thinking of you!!
Jane / Mulchmaid says
Sorry about the additional surgery(s?), but I’m sure you’re now firmly on Recovery Road, Pam! Sending you positive, healing thoughts. Thank you, Kate, for keeping us all informed and retro-fed! 😉
Lynne says
Oh, Pam. I had no idea you were having to go thru additional surgeries! How many weeks will you be in a cast? I suppose you will have to have physical therapy afterwards?
Best wishes. At least the worst is over.

Maybe a link to this saved 1950s kitchen, from Apartment Therapy, will cheer her up?

Thanks for the link, Sebastian! I’m sure it WILL go a long way to cheer Pam–the restored kitchen surely made my day at least. Comment on the faux brick floor and brown countertop tile–these were no doubt added in the late 1970s or early ’80s.
Love, love the appliances, the little curtain and the scalloped cover for the fan.
Shambie says
Rest up and heal, Pam! Your fingers will thank you. Now, can Siri help you out?
Kate says
Siri helps quite a bit, though sometimes she garbles Pam’s message and I have to decode it a bit. Still, better than nothing! 🙂
