Our whole house has had the flu all week, doesn't that sound great, me and my girl, as well as all 3 kids, sick, cranky, and miserable. Talk about a great week. It just doesn't get any better than that.
Oh, wait, it does.
I still can't knit, after over a month. I get these weird migraines that make me lose control of my left side, the first one was in 2003, shortly before I met my girl, they put me in the hospital because they thought I had a stroke. At 24! Anyway, I'm a lousy patient, and had a fit and left the hospital, but that is another story, involving a latex allergy that this hospital really didn't care about. They did it another time too, but that time I was simply to sick to fight back. I almost died of pneumonia, in August! I am such a freak!
But back to the story at hand, I had another one of those wonderful migraines about a month ago, I was fine, then suddenly I had this searing pain in my head, so bad that I didn't know where I was or anything, and my left side just stopped working with me. I was having trouble walking, I kept falling for the first week, then my leg started working better, but I am still working on getting full control of my hand, it is returning slowly, but I can only knit for a few minutes and it just hurts to much to go on.
Only someone whose world involves knitting as much as mine can fully appreciate what this is doing to me. I knit EVERY day, sometimes ALL day. I am getting so depressed that I can't function because of the pain in my hand. I have been trying to fill my knitting time with other things, you should see my scrapbook area, it's totally reorganised and it looks great. I have been sewing more, doing some quilting. It just isn't the same. Knitting calms me down. Which is important when caring for an autistic kid with severe ADHD. I NEED calm!
On an up note, my girl has been getting into quilting a little bit, she loves miniatures, and she has been getting into mini quilts.
Blessed be,
