I am so glad I am doing a practice run of my purse cake.  I am following a video tutorial (using my own pattern), and that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I used my chocolate cake recipe and have…Continue

Well Joann
Your now at least on the road to recovery. Pray you will be healed soon and can resume life activities.... including decorating. :o)

Good to hear from you Joann - sorry to hear damage was worse than expected.  Hope the surgery proves successful and you recover quickly. xx

how often are you going to physical therapy? and have they given you an expected time frame that you should be back to your normal?

Joann, I honestly worry about my right shoulder more than I do my wrists :/ hope you're back to 100% soon! I've been working all week on my foods for a local fair competition. I'm entering a bread, a cake (of course), and a cookie. Every year it's a different theme. This year the flavors are caramel, mocha or toffee. I'm going to be heading to deliver my goodies here in an hour. Fingers crossed! This cake lady never seems to win in the cake division, but I've won in the cookie division 3 times! Lol! Career change??? Lolol!

Good luck Melanie!  Wish we had more stuff like that around my way.  Nothing to get the competitive juices going

Comment by Karie Collins on July 25, 2013 at 10:57am

thanks for the well wishes everyone, and good luck Melanie! that would be a blast to do - I haven't had that opportunity either. I haven't started pt yet - go back to the surgeon for my next apt on august 6th, and will hopefully begin therapy after that. until then, I get to wear the sling and do a whole lot of nothing - can't even drive. feel like I am about to lose my mind!! if the therapy goes well, I could be back to baking in about 6 months, but it could take up to a year. yikes. be careful with your shoulder Melanie!!!!

Joann - I can't begin to imagine your absolute boredom!  I would go completely insane.............
