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.

Speedy recovery, and I hope the new, “sleeker” cast is Mamie pink or turquoise!
Marjorie says

Love your “crazy in a good way’ info !!!!

HEY Pam!

Oh no! I can just feel the glass tile and stainless appliances take over that much more without Pam on duty! 🙂
You take care of yourself. I just had sinus surgery Tuesday and tried to lift laundry today and…oops! So I won’t if you won’t! First one who recovers wins!
Pink bathrooms and formica counters,

Rest up, Pam, and don’t overdo! We are all in this together, right? I’m now I’m not going anywhere if the heavens allow. Nothing is really more important that taking care of yourself and healing up.

Thanks to Kate for the Pam-O-Gram update!
Nice to hear good news. Hope Pam is feeling much better.
Didn’t someone say “It is not the fall that will kill you, it’s the boredom in recovery afterward that will?”
Maybe physical therapy can involve something fun, say….making those vintage Christmas ornament wreaths! Getting your fingers around all those little ornaments must be good therapy for body and soul, no?
Kate…thanks for all that you do to inform us and to keep all of us from having retro-withdrawals. You take care, too!

Just want to add my good wishes for a rapid healing time. Read any good books lately? Feel so sorry for your DH–he must be frantic to have you back to what you love to do. 🙂
Diane in CO says
Relieved to hear your surgery went smoothly – I’ve been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing!! Do rest and don’t overdo.
Try to see this mandated down time as a chance to catch up on reading, old movies or DVD’s, research a topic that’s been on the back burner or practice being a leftie i.e., play scrabble with your left hand. (Remember lefties are the only people in their right minds….) 🙂
Seriously, sincere best wishes for a most speedy recovery!
Jay says
Glad to hear the surgery went well and that you are now on the road to recovery. Kate said to take as much time off as you like – with your feet up eating bonbons while watching the soaps. ( I think that’s what mid century housewives did when they weren’t hosting their bridge club parties).
