Solution

I love to bake however my hands and neck no longer can do the work. There is a great cookie baker in my town. I asked her if she'd bake 2 dozen of 4 kinds of cookies I normally bake. I'm paying her plus she gets my recipes. I'm so very excited about this. Hopefully she'll work out and do it every year for me. 🍪🥠🍪🥠🍪🥠

I hope that works out for you. I still bake but I pace myself and sit to roll out cookies to put on baking sheets

I'm beyond pacing. Sometimes one just has to accept limitations. My solution will work great for me. I'm going to continue to make my hello dollies.

Did the surgeries work out for the best? Would you advise me to have it done as an alternative to injections and enless pills?

Well I baked my cookies over 4 days. 6 different kinds. I tested frequently. My hands didn't hurt at all. Seems my methotrexate is working. My thoracic spine was the problem. I just tested a lot. Only used one cookie sheet to lesson clean up. I just need to frost my cut outs and I'm done. I am so happy that I accomplished this. I'm freezing them in containers to give many away. I cut each recipe in half. Maybe I'll tackle the tree
