The pain in my left elbow has gotten progressively worse over the last two months. My doctor is calling it knitting elbow because I don't play tennis. It got bad enough for me to email her about it. I can barely talk about the treatment. Ice, of course. Rest, of course. No knitting...WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
She suggests that I give it a rest. Does she realize it is less than 4 weeks to XMAS???????? Just give me a rope, let me hang myself now. No knitting...I cannot even process that.
So we compromised. I will knit less. I will wear a protective thingy. I will ice it a lot and use ibuprofin as much as I can tolerate. Hopefully this will work because the prospect of long term no knitting is just more than my brain can process.
I skipped knitting tonight...just too painful. All those women knitting away and me sitting in a corner doing just about nothing. Better to come home, put my jammies on and mope. Much better!
(Paragraph bitching about work removed due to troubles it could cause!)
Enough griping. So what's good going on? My house is back to almost normal. Frank leaves for a week in Vegas on Saturday and I have a week alone! Next weekend I get a knitting weekend at Rolling Ridge which will be hugely fun. Lots to look forward to. A whole week, just Nestle and me. YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
