Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Yup, that was me yeaterday. Went to my first physical therapy appointment, took one look at Michelle, my trusted talented physical therapist (she’s a knitter), and burst into tears. I think the sleep deprivation hit. And the fact that I don’t control pain very well, grinning and bearing it, until I hit the wall. I haven’t had more than two stints of two hours of sleep at night since the surgery. I usually wake up with the feeling of extreme painful pressure behind my knee cap and my quads in tight spasm. I’ve had very little pain during the day, but nights have been torturous. I’ve birthed three babies, two without any drugs, how come this feels so horrible? Thank goodness daytime is good. It’s time for a dose of major pain killers.

I’m feeling much better today, especially after a massage, and now, getting in some blogging time. I followed a link to find out my name as a Christmas Elf and it came out appropriately:

Haven’t been able to photograph my knitting spot yet, but here is some knitting, a second, more narrow feather and fan in black angora, oh so-o-o soft:

    Yes, that’s an appropriate name but it would be better if you got some sleep. Can’t you catch some zzz’s during the day?

    If I’m not mistaken, you’re allowed to have a few meltdowns over the holiday season. Add PT to that and you’re allowed a few more.
    I love the fuzzy goodness of that black angora. Everyone needs some fuzzy yarn. πŸ™‚

    Hope you get some pain free sleep soon. No sleep or even interrupted sleep really sucks and I like to sleep. If been going in 2 hour intervals and I can cope but when I’m up every hour on the hour, I get mighty cranky, too. Just hang in there!!! I’m glad your days are better and that you are able to do some knitting.

    I hope you get some pain free sleep soon. It’s good that you have your days for knitting. The massage sounds good though, let the PT know you need more of that!
