she folded her napkin! so says mrs. keller in the movie 'the miracle worker' after helen and miss sullivan destroyed the dining room acquiring some mealtime etiquette. well, cap'n, she tied her shoes today!
just about ready to start on the body of the sock....and just like quilts, from the back of a galloping horse it looks pretty good...awkward getting used to 4 needles with 2 numb fingers but i shall persevere.
the wound is healing at an astounding rate tho not yet completely closed....nurse said it should do that on the wound vac so leash remains in place for now...the surgeon did carpal tunnel release as well and that incision in my palm is tender and a bit sore, aggravated using the rollator.
the puzzle is about half done and still very challenging....may start rotary cutting some squares soon....thankful to be left-handed. gotta awaken the muse you know! have a blessed day!
Congratulations on your progress!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!! I knew the OT would love that you're knitting :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy socks will soon be on your feet!
Good attitude--you have to jump in again even if the water is only a few inches deep right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI finally looked up "wound vac" and now I understand what you've had to endure. Glad you're getting better!
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to hear you are now healing well. The yarn is so pretty. I see nice toasty warm socks for your winter.
ReplyDeleteGrace, how lovely to hear you sounding positive about your progress, Mum always said God helps those who help themselves, obviously approving of your attempts then! Keep it up, pretty yarn for the socks , hope the healing continues a pace. xx Elaine in UK
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you progressing and your knitting looks fab! Keep at it and keeping the prayers coming for you!
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing! Hooray for tied shoes, knitting socks and every single step forward. I'm cheering you on from here. Thanks be to God!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, a little progress at a time:)
ReplyDeleteEach bit of progress is a victory, and is cause to celebrate. So pleased to see all you are able to do now. Kudos to you for pushing things along. I know those wound-vacs are limiting, but such a blessing that they exist. My BIL was tethered to one for many weeks after getting an infection in his foot while serving as a missionary in the Philippines. He had to be flown back to the states and go straight from the airport to a hospital for emergency surgery with a specialist. If not, he could have lost his foot. Though extremely annoying to be so limited, what a blessing these medical devices are, that aid and allow healing in difficult circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn you are using for the socks. You'll have to cuff your pants when you wear them, to show them off. ;)
