That is awful that you have to give up beading. I know that I sure enjoy making things. I hope you can find something soon that helps your pinched nerves so you can feel better! Thanks for sharing your beads with all of us on listia.
I KNOW how you must be feeling!! Just had MAJOR back surgery a month ago finally, after 10 yrs. of walking around with it broken in 2 places. Hope it can be fixed for you :)
